Multilingual packaging: zoned OCR and regulatory fine print
Route `multilingual-image-text` (translate_image.i18n) handles packaging or posters with multiple languages on one plane. Auto language detection may glue adjacent languages—crop each locale separately. Marketing punchlines and puns need human marketing copy, not raw MT. Regulatory fine print demands line-by-line review because a mistranslation can trigger compliance recalls.
Packaging translation checklist
- Crop each language block with its own upload pass, or track separate layers per market.
- Check warning labels and ingredient lists against approved regional copy, not just machine output.
- Deliver bilingual comparison sheets for print houses instead of a single-language PNG only.

English, German, and French sit side by side—why zone?

Warning-label MT errors—impact?

Marketing puns via MT?
