New Project Idea - Food Label Translation from English to Hindi using Google Gemini Pro Vision API #2

As highlighted in a Times of India article a few years ago, the survey revealed that Indian packaged food ranked the least healthy among 12 countries. This underscores the importance of tools that empower consumers to make informed choices about the food they consume.

In response to this, I've developed a Streamlit app that utilizes the Google Gemini Pro Vision API to facilitate the translation of food package labels from English to Hindi. This app becomes particularly valuable given that only 12% of the Indian population speaks English, with many considering it as their second language.

The app offers a seamless and user-friendly interface where users can upload images of food package labels (provided they are clear enough and done in good faith for the API to respond with appropriate responses). With Google Gemini and my work on carefully engineering the prompt, the app provides detailed translations of the ingredients, nutritional value, and home cooked food alternatives in Hindi. Therefore, this app caters to a large portion of the Indian population who might find it challenging to decipher nutritional information presented in English.

I believe showcasing this app on your (Krish Naik's) YouTube channel as part of your Google Gemini Crash Course series would be beneficial for the reasons presented above.
