Alibaba Qwen Image Translate | OCR And Multilingual Image Translation

Alibaba Qwen Translate – Image Understanding and Translation

Alibaba Qwen Translate is a multimodal model on Alibaba Cloud’s DashScope that combines high-accuracy OCR with multilingual translation. On WaveSpeedAI, it turns screenshots, documents, menus, and posters into clean, translated text in just a few seconds.

Why it stands out

Accurate OCR Extracts printed and many handwritten texts from photos, scans, and UI screenshots.
Strong multilingual support Detects and translates across English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and more.
Terminology and sensitive-word control Lets you define custom terminologies for domain-specific vocabulary and filter sensitive words in the output.
Document and layout awareness Handles forms, receipts, signs, and scanned pages with automatic text-region detection.
Fast, practical performance Suitable for real-world scenarios like menu translation, travel signage, study materials, and quick data capture.

Limits and performance

Supported input formats: PNG, JPEG, WEBP
Output: extracted text plus translation into the selected target language
Typical processing time: around 3–6 seconds per image
Segmentation: automatic text-region detection (can be disabled via the skip_image_segment option)

Pricing

Task type	Cost per image
OCR / Translation	$0.01

Flat pricing: every processed image is billed at $0.01, regardless of language pair or content length.

How to use

Upload the image that contains the text you want to extract and translate.
Set source_lang (for example: auto, en, zh, ja, ko, fr, de, es, ru, ar).
Choose target_lang for the translation output.
(Optional) Provide a terminologies list to enforce consistent translations for key terms.
(Optional) Add sensitives to mask or filter sensitive words.
(Optional) Enable skip_image_segment if you want to bypass automatic text-region segmentation.
Run the job and view or download the extracted and translated text from the WaveSpeedAI interface.

Pro tips for best quality

Upload clear, high-resolution images; avoid heavy compression or motion blur.
Use auto for source_lang when the input might contain mixed or unknown languages.
Define terminologies for verticals like finance, medicine, or e-commerce to keep key phrases consistent.
Use sensitives to redact or mask names, IDs, or other sensitive fields before downstream use.
Keep segmentation enabled when working with complex layouts (tables, multi-column documents, or posters).
