Translating English images into Japanese
Shipping a product, game or app into Japan means localizing far more than a webpage — the text baked into screenshots, store banners, packaging shots and UI mockups all has to read naturally in Japanese. Copy-pasting into a translator loses the layout; redrawing every label by hand is slow. Translating the English image directly keeps the design intact while the Japanese reads like it was made for the market.
PicTranslate detects the English text in your image, translates it into Japanese with a top-tier LLM, and redraws it in place — matching the original font weight, alignment and background so the result looks native rather than pasted on.
What English → Japanese translation has to get right
- ▸Mixed scripts: Japanese blends kanji, hiragana and katakana — loanwords from English usually become katakana, which the AI renders correctly instead of romaji.
- ▸Text expansion & contraction: Japanese often fits more meaning in fewer characters, so labels are re-fit to the original box instead of overflowing.
- ▸Politeness level: the AI keeps a consistent register (e.g. polite -masu form) suited to product and marketing copy.
- ▸Vertical vs horizontal layouts: signage and editorial art that run top-to-bottom are detected and preserved.
