Techniques for machine language translation of text from an image based on non-textual context information from the image

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, at a server from a mobile computing device, the server having one or more processors, an image including a text;
• obtaining, at the server, optical character recognition (OCR) text corresponding to the text, the OCR text having been obtained by performing OCR on the image;
• identifying, at the server, non-textual context information from the image, the non-textual context information (i) representing context information other than the text itself, (ii) being indicative of a context of the image, and (iii) including at least a color of an object in the image;
• based on the color of the object, determining, at the server, whether the image was captured indoors or outdoors;
• based on (i) the non-textual context information and (ii) whether the image was captured indoors or outdoors, obtaining, at the server, a translation of the OCR text to a target language to obtain a translated OCR text;
• and
• outputting, from the server to the mobile computing device, the translated OCR text.
