Since OCR Translation software has a marked solution, I’m making a new thread to not necrobump…
I’m wondering if there’s a better method to get faster translations from the camera, like what Word Lens (acquired by Google and now part of Google Translate) did/does. I’m thinking about scripting this, though I’m not sure if there’s easy access to the camera via the CLI. Maybe if someone is savvy, one could look into integrating the Firefox Translations feature that was added in FF118. I haven’t found where the Firefox Translations repos are, though this list seems to have them (Mozilla · GitHub); tihs way, translations would occur offline.

and Dialect is able to be run via the command line:
