3.2 Translate

Your creative speaks German too.

Detect, translate, and re-render in-image text in the original type, weight, and colour.

01Detect

Read text baked into pixels

Regions, baselines, and reading order are found so translation is not guessing from a caption.

02Re-render

Match typeface, weight, and colour

Translated strings are composited back into the creative - or flagged when expansion will not fit.

1.0

The headline is a picture, so nobody translates it.

Your best-performing hero, offer badge, and promo banner all carry text rendered into pixels. Translation tools read the DOM, so they see an image and move on.

Same creative, every market

Text regions are detected, translated, and re-rendered in place - layout, typeface, weight and colour hold.

No designer ticket per language

The usual fix is a designer, a ticket, and three days per market. Multiply that by campaigns and launches slip.

2.0

Four steps, no designer in the loop

Each step is inspectable, and any step can be overridden by hand.

Detect, translate, re-render, composite

Regions, context-aware translation, typography match, then background reconstruction.

Pipeline you can inspect

From source.png through regions and typography match to output.de.png - nothing is a black box.

What it handles, and what it does not

Stated plainly, because finding out during a launch is worse. German is roughly 30% longer - the layout still holds, or it flags for review.

3.1 Translation review

Overrides survive regeneration

Per-language replacements persist when the rest of the page is regenerated.

Cost that fits a campaign cycle

FAQ

Image translation questions

PNG, JPEG and WebP up to 8000 pixels on the long edge. SVG text is translated directly as text rather than re-rendered, which is always the better outcome when it is available.
