How to organize the translated text in the picture into Word

Key points of this article

Multiple screenshots are numbered in reading order and combined into one PDF, and then uploaded for translation, which can reduce order confusion.
The image translation results are first checked with numbers, models and proper nouns, and then entered into Word typesetting to avoid errors being amplified.
When the original file itself is Word or PDF, upload the original file first, as it is easier to preserve the format than taking a screenshot and then translating it.
Unify fonts and paragraphs in the document after exporting to Word, which is more reliable than adjusting styles before translation.

Many people encounter foreign language in product manual photos, courseware screenshots or chat records. After translation, what they get is a bunch of scattered text, but what they really need is a Word document that can be modified, printed, and sent to colleagues. The problem is that the picture itself cannot be edited directly, how to load the translation results into Word, how to unify the fonts and paragraphs, and it is easy to lose words, misplace them, and order confusion.

Scenario: Screenshots of foreign language instructions need to be compiled into an internal document

Suppose you have a product manual in a foreign language, with a total of 12 pages. Only mobile phone screenshots are taken, and some pages also have interface buttons, headers and footers. You need to organize the translation into a Word document and send it to the team for discussion. There are three places where it gets stuck: the order of screenshots is easily messed up, the translations are scattered in multiple files, and the fonts and table formats are not uniform after exporting.

Complete process

Organize the original pictures: Number the pictures in reading order, such as 01, 02, 03. Cut out irrelevant interface elements to ensure that every piece of text is clear and readable.
Composite PDF: Use the system's built-in printing function or a general image to PDF tool to merge the numbered images into one file in order.
Upload translation: Upload the file on omnidoc.top, select bilingual comparison or translation only, and start translation.
Download and quickly check: After downloading the results, check the title, number, model, unit and proper noun, and compare it with the original picture to confirm it is correct.
Export to Word: If you need Word, use a desktop client (download.omnidoc.top) to open the translation PDF, and use a PDF editor to export to Word. When further organization is needed, it can be edited in the UniDoc web editor (app.unidoc.top).
Uniform typesetting and save: Select the full text in Word, unify the font, font size and paragraph spacing, check the table and title levels, confirm and save.

Where things can easily go wrong

Blurred screenshots lead to recognition errors: The method of discovery is to check whether the number, model number and small font description are consistent with the original image. The solution is to return to the original image, take a new photo or enlarge the screenshot before uploading it.
Page order is out of order: The way to find out is to see if the connection between paragraphs is abrupt, such as the separation of the title and the main text. The solution is to resynthesize the PDF according to the number and translate it again.
Text cannot be selected: You can try to select a piece of text with the mouse. If it is not selected, it means it may be in the form of a picture and needs to be OCR recognized before copying or exporting. The desktop client's PDF editor supports OCR on scans.
Table misalignment: Check the number of columns and cell content of each row after exporting, and manually adjust the table structure if necessary.
Machine Translation Mistranslation: Proper nouns, numbers and units are prone to errors. For important contents such as contracts and instructions, please check them item by item with the original text and do not send them out directly.

🎯 Which method is suitable for you?

If you just need to understand the content quickly

Directly upload the screenshot, select translation only, and copy the required paragraphs after downloading. There is no need to organize it into formal Word.

If you want to hand it over to your colleagues for further revision

The PDF is synthesized in sequence, translated, exported to Word, and then uniformly typeset in Word, so that the document can be edited and circulated directly.

If you need to check sentence by sentence

Select the bilingual comparison download, compare the original text and the translated text paragraph by paragraph, focusing on checking numbers, models and proper nouns.

If the original is already in Word or PDF

Prioritize uploading the original file, do not take a screenshot first and then translate it. Translating from source files, the format is easier to preserve.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How to change the font after the picture is translated?

In fact, the font options for image translation are not within the functional scope of OmniDoc, and it is recommended to modify them uniformly after exporting to Word. Setting the font and size after selecting the full text is more reliable than adjusting it before translation.

2. What should you pay attention to when preserving the format when translating a word document?

OmniDoc supports Word document translation and can preserve layout, tables and pictures. If the source file is already in Word, uploading it directly for translation will preserve the original format better than taking a screenshot and then sorting it out.

3. What should I do if text cannot be selected in the downloaded translation?

This usually means the result is in picture form. You can use the desktop client's PDF editor for OCR recognition, and then copy the text or export it to Word.

4. Do the image translation results need to be checked?

need. Machine translation may misinterpret proper nouns, numbers, and units. In particular, contracts and instructions must be compared with the original drawings item by item.

📝 Summary

The key to how to save images after translation is to organize the order in the early stage, check the content after translation, and then export the results to Word and format them uniformly. By following this route, the text in the screenshot can be turned into a document that is easy to modify and share.

Open OmniDoc, upload the document and start translation.
