Yaraku Inc. Releases 'Image Translation Function (Beta)' Allowing One-Click Translation of Text Embedded in Banners and Graphs | Drastically Improves Efficiency of Translating Internal Documents with Many Illustrations

Yaraku Inc. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yu Sakanishi; hereinafter referred to as Yaraku), a provider of the AI-powered translation support tool (CAT tool) 'Yaraku Translator', announced the release of its new 'Image Translation Function (Beta)' on March 28, 2026. This feature allows for layout preservation, text embedding, and post-editing to be completed within the same application.

Simply drag and drop PowerPoint and PDF files into Yaraku Translator, and the text within images, annotations in graphs, and more will be translated. Translated documents are generated while preserving the layout as much as possible, and the text within images can be post-edited directly within Yaraku Translator.

This function is expected to be utilized in the translation of various manuals, organizational charts, and presentation materials, realizing an overwhelming improvement in translation efficiency for on-site operations, particularly in the manufacturing industry.

■ Feature Highlights: No Prompting Required. One-Click Conversion with Drag & Drop

The function automatically extracts and translates text within images, then automatically repositions and generates the translated text while preserving the original background and design.
It eliminates the need for the tedious tasks associated with conventional general-purpose generative AI, such as 'prompt adjustment' and 'minor adjustments to font size and layout'. Simply drag and drop the file you want to translate (pptx or pdf) onto the Yaraku Translator screen.

Furthermore, the generated text can be seamlessly post-edited within Yaraku Translator, allowing for adjustments like 'make it a little shorter' with your own hands.

■ Anticipated Use Cases and Suitable Industries/Sectors

This feature is ideal for the following industries and operations that heavily utilize visual elements such as illustrations and flowcharts, and require multilingual deployment:

• Manufacturing Industry (Automotive, Precision Instruments, Electronic Devices, etc.)

  Translation of product manuals, design drawings, safety management manuals, and engineering project management documents
