someone needs to make an app that can scan a pdf and translate it, and then produce a translated pdf.
so I can read manga with out having to wait for them to be properly translated or scanlated.

I tried to use that thing to translate some porn captions, everything from german to japanese.. Every translate sucked and I couldnt figure out what they were actually saying.
you're going to have to wait for machine translation to get better. at least the scanning part is decent these days.

google used to be able to search and translate pictures from your camera
that was 2013 though, with a better phone and later software i can no longer do it...

google's translate app on android can scan and translate pictures already on your phone.

Well according to my friend who heads a translation group, translating porn is easy. Most of the time it's just sex sounds.
The hard part is type setting. Blending in the translated text to make things look good.
This could probably be done in less than 5 years automatically. Maybe less than three if a big player works with translation groups. There are huge corpuses of translated porn and their raws out there.

Your friend probably can't read most of what is written and just makes things up as he goes along like most fan translators.

>pre-translated raws
Porn is low-demanding stuff. I work for a publishing house and want to find a way to automate the process. Hentai could be easy.

As this guy said, it could be well automated, but the corpuses simply aren't being put into your translation app because you don't wanna read a train table that says "what are those tentacles for, senpai"
