Quick answer
App screenshots need screen-level context because short labels such as Open, Save, Cancel, or Continue can change meaning based on their control.
A screenshot is a user interface, conversation, or sequence of panels rather than a loose block of text. A useful English result keeps labels, buttons, bubbles, warnings, and content cards attached to the correct screen region.
- Choose the screen that contains the decision
- Crop only if text is too small
- Translate the screenshot

Prepare the source before translation
Capture one complete app state with the modal, drawer, keyboard, or tooltip that explains the text you need.
Keep an untouched copy of the source beside every crop or page so the English result can always be checked against the original.
- Capture the full active state
- Keep navigation and dialog boundaries
- Use the original PNG when available
Step-by-step translation workflow
Translate related screens in sequence—onboarding step one before step two, or settings overview before a nested panel—so repeated labels can be compared.
Open Translate Screenshot to English, upload the prepared source, translate it to English, and download each result only after the visual structure has been reviewed.
- Choose the screen that contains the decision
- Crop only if text is too small
- Translate the screenshot
- Check buttons and navigation labels
Quality review checklist
Review the English image beside the original. Accuracy includes text meaning, numbers, labels, and whether each translation still belongs to the correct visual region.
| Review area | What to check | Action if it is wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation | Tab and menu labels remain in the correct order | Compare icons and active states |
| Dialogs | Title, body, and actions stay together | Review the entire modal |
| Controls | Toggle and button labels are not swapped | Check left-right placement |
Limits and safety notes
Very small tab labels, truncated strings, and text inside icons may require a tighter crop at the original screenshot resolution.
Screenshots can contain names, account details, order numbers, notifications, or private conversations. Crop or redact anything that is not needed before uploading. Images are processed temporarily and deleted after 24 hours.
- Truncated labels
- Text baked into icons
- Keyboard overlays
- Multiple dialogs in one capture
