Co-op Translator automates the localization of technical documentation into multiple languages, targeting developers and project maintainers. It leverages Azure AI Services and LLMs to translate Markdown files and extract/translate text from images, aiming to break down language barriers and improve global accessibility of technical content.

How It Works

The tool processes Markdown and image files from a project. It uses Azure OpenAI or other supported LLMs for text translation and Azure Computer Vision to extract text from images. If computer vision is unavailable, it defaults to a Markdown-only mode. Translated files are saved in a designated folder, preserving Markdown formatting.
