Description

Azure AI Translator batch document translation accepts image files as a generally available input type. Supported formats include `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.bmp`, and `.webp`. The service runs OCR on each image, translates the recognized text into the target language, and writes a translated image back to your Azure Blob Storage target container while keeping the original visual design and layout. Image inputs ride the same async batch REST API, SDK, and managed identity authentication path as Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and other supported formats. Pricing is calculated on a per-image basis. Status and per-document tracking continue through the existing batch translation status APIs.
