Lets say Im running a program on my PC and I take a screenshot of what I see and the screenshot file is one of the usual photo/pic file extensions.

Now lets say something in that screenshoot is in a foreign language.. other than having someone who knows the language translate it for me is it possible to highlight and copy the text in that screenshot (or some program that would allow me to do that since doin nit the usual way as you would on a website or text application isnt working) so i could paste it in an online translator (like babel fish or something) and have it translated that way?

Hi antoinejones
by just having a quick look around have a look at this site and see if this may help you out.

Either way let us know how you went and if it is not suitable for your requirements we can delve a bit deeper into it.

I know it's possible to do what you said for an error message, but I doubt it would work for a screenshot. Give it a try anyway, and let us know.

If you do get the raw text, you can have it translated at BabelFish, or at the link that cartandpeg provided.

well as fo that link yeah thats the translator Im using but i would need to copy and past the japanese text from the screenshot into the translator to translate it (which i cant do) (i tried the error message method as well with no work) or either figure out a way to type japanese characters on my keyboard (which as you can see i cant do so currently lol) then try to match up the character on th keyboard with what i see in the screenshot and have it translated
