Generally Available: Image translation inside Office documents for batch document translation

Azure AI Translator batch document translation now translates text inside images embedded in Word `.docx` files as a generally available capability. The service detects image regions, runs OCR, translates the recognized text, and re-renders it back into the document while preserving the original layout, font, and surrounding formatting. Image-aware translation works through the existing batch translation REST API and SDK paths, with the same source and target Azure Blob Storage container pattern. Pricing is calculated per image translated, alongside standard character-based pricing for the surrounding document text. Output documents are written to the target container in their translated form for downstream review.
