How to translate from a screen?

[THAIPHUKET]

Take for example customer comments on lazada in Thai language .

No quick glancing over possible. Taking a screenshot for translation of several of the comments is a nuisance... Is there an app which can do a quick "glancing" translation? Quasi per video ?

Google translate......put into camera mode....usually good enough to get the gist.

About this specifically:

are you reading on PC (Windows?).

Chrome browser can be enabled to translate the complete website.

 

Works if the content is actually text and not embedded in images of course.

For the latter case: see above.

Google translate on the smartphone.

take photo or screen shot and use google lens app, i use it a lot for reviews and facebook

An example. The actual text is translated.

But the embedded text in the image is not.

That would require the camera approach with OCR.

 

 

This is how a typical text is translated. Quite useful and a single click.

Camera/scan mode (Google translate);

With windows 10, I simply right click on one of those Thai reviews, then from the pop-up menu select "translate to English" and all comments will be translated.

What "screen"?

 

PC? Windows? Web? Browser? If translate is not an option (FB comments), then I right click and let Chrome translate.

 

Mobile phone? Android? Screen shot (or camera) then use Google Lens or Translate.

If your using a mobile phone, an easier option than taking a screenshot and importing it into Google Translate or similar is to use the Tap To Translate Screen app.  It sits on top of the app (Lazada for example) and translates everything in view at the touch of a button.  It sometimes struggles to fit everything in if there's too much text, but pretty good overall where I've been using it.

Wonderful, so many options. Compliment

Already a feature in Google Translate.

Just tried it and it appears to be good for text only and requires copy/pasting, not touch of a button translation including images containing text, which this other app can do.

Why are so many Thai messages sent embedded in image format? Are they trying to make translation as hard as possible? My hospital is so bad at this on LINE app I have given up with them.
