Hey for android there is an app, Imagetoolbox. It can do a lot, not just identify text from image. I've tried and it accurately give me the text all the time. Give it a try. https://github.com/T8RIN/ImageToolbox
It looks good but how do you use it to translate? You need to copy the text and use another translation app?
Yes. For now it does not support translate. To avoid google lense translate etc I think better to find an offline ai app. There are Whisper, SherpaTTS appds for voice recognition and text to speech. So there must be one to translate text as well. Let me search too. I think that is better and more accurate.
Translate you, as suggested in another comment seem to be a good shot. It recognises the text from a picture, screenshot... and uses online translators. Too bad it can't be offline.
