Raw Manga Translator

Inspiration

One early Wednesday morning, I woke up excitedly to read a new chapter on One Piece. However, there was no translated text yet. With anger, frustration, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, we decided to start this project to prevent this from happening again.

How I built it

• Python 3
• Microsoft's Cognitive Services (for extracting text)
• Google Translate API (for translating text)

How to use the application

Prerequistites

• Install Python 3+
• Get an API key for Microsoft's Cognitive Services
• Get an API key for Google Translate API

Steps

1. Clone the repository.
2. Open the command line and navigate to the repository.
3. Type pip install -r requirements.txt and enter.
4. Open config.ini in a code editor and put your API keys for both APIs.
5. Run the application using python main.py --url IMAGE_URL.

Future Work

• Replace the text inside the image with translated text
• Improve the translations
