How We Uncovered the Demand for Image Translation and Successfully Created GhostCut - Our Translation Product

How we discovered the opportunity for image translation.

Firstly, let's keep it simple here. For the tech-savvy folks, feel free to skip ahead. There are various tools capable of handling extensive image translations, with many relying on widely-used ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) tools. Most ERP tools integrate the functionality of image translation, utilizing backend interfaces, many of which are pre-existing image translation APIs from Alibaba Cloud. These tools then package it for their use. For ERP and the majority of companies specializing in image translation, it is a time and effort-saving approach. They don't need to train translation and erasure restoration models themselves. This results in a shorter development cycle and a higher level of product completion.

We have found that there are a large number of e-commerce sellers who are not very good at creating promotional images for many of their products themselves, and similarly, when they create a copy of a promotional image in English, if they have explored other markets then they will need to re-translate and synthesize it, which is very time consuming. These are a lot of repetitive work, we hope to help users solve these repetitive physical labor through ai!

What are the key elements of a good image translation

First-Time Usability Rate: This refers to the ability to use the translated image without any adjustments or fine-tuning, directly uploading it to an e-commerce platform.

First-Time Perfection Rate: The processed image is immediately usable without any adjustments.

Usability After Modification Rate: This involves images that can be used after simple modifications, such as formatting or styling adjustments.

Abandonment Rate: Images that require extensive modifications, have incomplete erasure, or are cumbersome for secondary processing are abandoned.

By examining these explicit indicators, it becomes evident that the first-time usability rate is crucial. It significantly reduces the workload for operational personnel.

Current Challenges Faced by Common Image Translation Software:

Obvious Erasure Traces: This issue often leads to partial text being overlooked in recognition or leaves clear traces of the erasure process, such as incomplete removal of characters.

Inconsistent Fill Styles: Text sizes may vary significantly, causing overflow issues during layout, or inconsistent text styles, resulting in poor visual effects.

Color Discrepancies in Background Fill: For instance, the actual background color might be deep yellow, but the fill color used is light yellow, making the fill traces visually prominent.

Translation Accuracy Insufficiency: This is a common issue in most translation tools where semantic conveyance is inaccurate. Recommending manual proofreading or using tools like ChatGPT, DEEPL, etc., can significantly improve translation quality.

Misidentification Errors: Creating content out of nothing, misidentifying non-textual elements as text for translation.

Inability to Preserve Product-Specific Text: Some software fails to retain specific text on products, translating it directly and causing the loss of original information.

While there are other minor issues, we won't go into detail here. The mentioned problems are prevalent in most image translation software on the market, and a product comparison using screenshots can easily highlight the differences.
