These scripts help in translating English posters which do hoax busting to regional languages as an effort by the community group "Indian Scientists Response to COVID19". The script takes a csv file in a particular format which has stored translations for all the different languages and questions.
modify_poster
is a class which is able to insert the required translated
strings at the right places.
The fonts and the fontsizes are stored in the Master_config.yaml
file. The
placement of the various strings in the file are listed for each of the
questions in the file language/placements_language.txt
.
python modify_poster.py language
It will take an example poster and then put the strings extracted from the csv
file into Sample_images/000xx.jpg
at the locations specified in the
placements file.
