How To Translate Text and Images With Canva AI in Minutes

In today's guide, I want to showcase a fantastic AI feature available on Canva that provides two invaluable tools: the ability to edit any text on an image and translate that text. These features are game changers, especially for those of us who need to translate material not originally created by us. For instance, I am preparing to deliver a course in Latin America soon and needed to translate some content into Spanish to make it more accessible to my audience. Here's a step-by-step on how to do this using Canva. Note: I am using a paid Canva plan, so some features might be exclusive to premium users.

Step-by-Step Guide

Open the Image in Canva
- Start by clicking on the image you want to edit.
- Select the "Edit Image" option.
Use the "Grab Text" Feature
- Click on the "Grab Text" tool.
- This allows Canva to extract all the text from the image. It usually takes just a minute to process.
Translate the Extracted Text
- Navigate to the "Apps" section if the "Translate" feature is not already visible.
- Click on "Translate."
- You can now translate the text into any language. You also have the option to adjust the tone or select specific parts of the text for translation.
- After making your selections, click "Translate."

Within seconds, Canva will convert the text, showcasing it in the selected language. For instance, translating from English to Spanish is incredibly swift and efficient. This tool makes it significantly easier to create accessible and multilingual content, which was once a challenging task whether you are an individual content creator or leading a team.

If you are a Canva user, I highly recommend giving these features a try. They are not only useful for creating content but also enhancing the accessibility of your designs. I hope you find this guide helpful. Until next time!
