Merge & Split Text Blocks

Enhance Translation Accuracy by Merging or Splitting Text Blocks

When translating text from images, especially in multi-line documents, it’s common for OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to interpret lines or sections of text in ways that don’t align with the intended meaning. The Merge & Split Text Blocks feature allows you to refine your translations by either combining multiple separate text blocks into one or separating a combined block into smaller, more accurate parts. This level of control helps you ensure that the final translation is as accurate and readable as possible.

Why Merge & Split Text Blocks is Crucial for Accurate Translations

When translating documents, especially complex layouts with multiple lines or columns, OCR might not always break down the text correctly. Here’s why merging and splitting text blocks is important:

  • Fix OCR Misinterpretations – Sometimes, OCR interprets multiple lines of text as separate blocks, even if they belong together. Merging them ensures that the translation stays contextually correct.
  • Adjust for Layout Issues – If text that should be separate is interpreted as one block, splitting it ensures that each part is translated individually, maintaining clarity.
  • Improve Translation Flow – Merged text blocks help maintain the natural flow of sentences and paragraphs, especially when content spans multiple lines.
  • Correct Misaligned Content – Merging or splitting text blocks allows you to correct errors in the layout that could result in awkward translations, such as misplaced punctuation or word placement.

By adjusting the text blocks with the Merge & Split feature, you can improve translation accuracy and ensure that your text maintains its intended meaning.

When to Use Line or Paragraph Translation Mode

  • Multilingual Documents – For multilingual content, such as a website or product manual, the content might be arranged in a way that requires the text to stay in lines for proper context in every language.
  • Lists and Tables – If you’re working with tables, bullet points, or lists, Line Mode helps keep each piece of text distinct.
  • Complex Formatting – Headers, footnotes, and other specialized formatting require accurate line breaks to prevent translation issues.

How to Use Merge Text Blocks

  • Step 1: Upload and Translate Your Image

    Choose the image with the text you want to translate.

  • Step 2: Select Multiple Text Blocks

    Click on the text blocks that should be combined. These could be blocks of text that belong together but were separated during OCR.

  • Step 3: Click Merge

    After selecting the blocks, click the Merge blocks button to combine them into one block. The merged text will now be treated as a single unit for translation.

  • Step 4: Translate

    Once merged, proceed with the translation, and the AI will process the combined text in the context of the full block.

  • Step 5: Review and Edit

    After translation, you can make adjustments to the merged block as needed.

How to Split Text Blocks

  • Step 1: Upload and Translate Your Image

    Choose the image containing text that needs to be split into separate blocks.

  • Step 2: Select the Text Block to Split

    Click on the text block that contains multiple pieces of text that should be separated.

  • Step 3: Click Split

    Click the Split merged blocks button to divide the block into smaller, more accurate sections.

  • Step 4: Translate

    Each newly created block will now be translated independently for improved accuracy.

  • Step 5: Review and Edit

    After translation, you can fine-tune the separate text blocks for better readability.

When to Use Merge & Split Text Blocks

  • When Text Should Be Combined – If OCR splits a natural sentence or paragraph into multiple blocks, merging them will ensure the translation maintains the context.
  • When Multiple Blocks Should Be Separate – If two separate pieces of text are combined into one block (for example, two distinct sentences), splitting them ensures they are correctly translated.
  • Complex Formatting – In documents with multi-column layouts, headings, or tables, merging and splitting text blocks helps keep the translation true to the original content’s structure.
  • Correct OCR Errors – OCR can sometimes create unnecessary splits or merges due to layout difficulties or fonts that are hard to recognize. This feature lets you manually fix these issues for better translation results.

Why Merging & Splitting Text Blocks Improves Translation Quality

  • Maintaining Context – Merging text blocks keeps related content together, preserving meaning and context during translation.
  • Avoiding Misunderstandings – Splitting combined text blocks ensures that separate ideas are translated as distinct pieces, avoiding misinterpretation.
  • Ensuring Consistency – Properly merged and split blocks result in more fluent and natural translations that stay true to the original content.
  • Fixing Layout Problems – By adjusting the text block structure, you can correct issues that arise from improper text detection, ensuring the translation remains faithful to the layout and design of the original image.

Pro Tips for Merging & Splitting Text Blocks

  • Check Before Merging – Make sure the selected blocks should indeed be merged, as combining unrelated content can lead to awkward translations.
  • Split Only When Necessary – Split text blocks only if the content is incorrectly combined or mixed. Avoid splitting for minor layout adjustments.
  • Fine-Tune After Merging – After merging blocks, double-check the result to ensure the translation flow and structure are natural.
  • Use Merging and Splitting for Complex Layouts – For multi-column or grid-style layouts, adjusting text blocks ensures that the translation preserves the layout and readability.
