Google Translate

Use Google Translate to translate image descriptions and alt text for accessibility.

Accessibility is about more than compliance — it’s about inclusivity. Cloudinary’s MediaFlows-Google Translate integration automatically generates and manages alt text and image description translation for images, making digital experiences more accessible worldwide. Expand your reach and improve user experience across languages and regions by using Cloudinary to orchestrate multiple text descriptions and translations.

Automate Alt Text Creation

A MediaFlows workflow can detect when a new image is uploaded and generate descriptive alt text. By integrating Google Translate, that alt text can instantly be translated into multiple languages, ensuring global accessibility standards are met. Whether serving an e-commerce catalog or a news portal, translated alt text helps users with assistive technologies engage with content in their own language.

Streamline Compliance and Inclusivity

The integration reduces the manual overhead of writing and localizing alt text for large asset libraries. Teams can maintain consistency across thousands of images while ensuring compliance with accessibility guidelines. More importantly, it empowers businesses to offer a richer, more inclusive experience for users everywhere. Cloudinary and Google Translate together make accessibility not only achievable but scalable.

Google Translate is a neural machine translation service from Google that translates text, speech, images, and live conversations between 249 supported languages.
