#JAPANESE OCR TRANSLATION ONLINE PDF#

If you do need to translate PDF files, it is good to know that there are ways to do this online without having to pay a single red cent. Or maybe you are selling Italian tiles, and you want to translate the brochure of the company whose products you are placing on an English-speaking market.

There are times when you need to have a PDF translated - when you buy a gadget produced in Japan or China and you have no idea what the manual says - for example. Once I've had an opportunity to compare between the outputs ad which translation is best I'll go back to the original service manual scan and amend the actual document.File Name: japanese to english translation.zip

I added '-output' to the file name for obvious reasons, to avoid overwriting the PDF created from the original OCR software so that I can compare line for line between the translation -> OCR -> original document scan so that hopefully it can make some sense of it all

The preliminary output displayed may look garbled with type overlaying type, don't worry - click download and in ~10 seconds you will be presented with a save as dialog box So with a PDF created from the OCR text output from step 1 - select upload - and you'll get something comparable with the image below Save it as something sensible - it should supply the name of the original text file with the '.pdf' file extension

One a Mac, you select print - then in the bottom left corner of the print dialog box So I had to convert the text file by printing it as a PDF - easy on a Mac or Linux, with Acrobat or equivalent on a PC it should be just as easy, but like bad drugs I gave up on M$ Windbloze a long time ago - not trying to start a war here over operating systems - horses for courses and all that. is the other translation service - it only accepts documents in the below formats To compare Google's translation service with another one, I had to go through one more step back after the original OCR -> text files step The good part is that you have the OCR text output which should reliably compare to the original Japanese in the document scan. What you have is basically a half decent translation - there's obviously still work to do, cross referencing what the original was and what the translation output is. Save that page as something sensible I used page-26-output.txt - it will present the 'save-as' option as HTML - change the file extension to '.txt' as the page itself isn't actually html Tt's basically the entire translation as text Hit translate - it will forward you to this page in all circumstances Google Translate will accept a txt file - so click browse your computer - select the previously downloaded OCR output text file Extract it and rename it to something sensible so you can keep track - in he case of this example page-26.txt Once you have the zip downloaded there will be a txt file inside which will run to multiple pages with the results of the OCR - it will be in Japanese text.

txt file inside which downloads will have an enormous alpha-numerical file - I suggest naming each zip file as as per the page number you uploaded if you want to have any chance of keeping track of things

It takes ~20 seconds then you'll be presented with the option to download a txt file Once the image is selected - click upload and convert I just opened the PDF in preview - selected File-> Export _> as jpg for size and convenience - set the DPI to and upload the images for OCR character recognition, I tried doing multi page/image uploads - didn't seem to work as some uploads stalled, so just stuck to one page/image at a time On a Mac, the process may differ slightly depending on your operating system So the process you need to export an image format for the OCR step which is first - this first step is obligatory using this workflow I've also included a variant as I want to compare the translation results for two different sites. Thought I'd see if this works, multi step process:

So I've got some of the very good quality scans of the FZR250 service manuals from the resources section - premium membership recommended for those as it's a fantastic collection all in the one place. So I got a little bored and decided to try and throw an entire service manual at a translation program - no cigar I'm afraid, however a quick google search landed me at this page
