# 🌐 Read and translate text inside images in bulk

**Use case:** 

Reads the text in each image and translates it in the same pass, returning the original next to the translation, one row per image. Set `translateLanguage` to the language you want out; `imageUrls` takes as many images as you need, at a flat cost each.

## Input

```json
{
  "searchTypes": [
    "translate-ocr",
    "ocr"
  ],
  "imageUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/China_nutrition_facts_label.png"
    }
  ],
  "imageKvsRecords": [],
  "translateLanguage": "en",
  "language": "en"
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "translate-ocr": {
    "label": "Translate ocr"
  },
  "searchType": {
    "label": "Row type",
    "format": "text"
  }
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Google Lens | AI Mode | Reverse image search | Translation+OCR](https://apify.com/borderline/google-lens.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/borderline/google-lens.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
