Cool this is nice! Just confirming, the image translation is only for OCR, right? I mean it doesn't translate a photo of a menu in a restaurant or am I missing something?

Examples on the page seem to indicate it does OCR then translates the OCR text.

It doesn't seem as fancy as some translation tools that overlay the translation, if that's what you meant.

Edit: actually maybe it can - https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/23834337
