In-image machine translation is a sub-task of Image-Based Machine Translation that aims to substitute text embedded in images with its translation into another language. In the current work, we define a simple task with a synthetic dataset based on rendering parallel text over a plain background. Furthermore, we experiment with different optical character recognition, machine translation and image synthesis models to include in our ensemble. Then, we present our cascade approach as a pipeline that obtains the transcript of the original image, translates it, and generates a new image (image synthesis) similar to the original one. Finally, we compare the performance of our approach with several current state-of-the-art models, including an end-to-end approach, demonstrating its competitiveness.
