Translate visa document images (bank deposit, employment, income, and retirement certificates; HEIC, PNG, or JPG) into English via OCR and produce a bilingual PDF pairing the original image with a formatted certified-style translation. Use when a visa application needs a document translated to English, an official certificate OCR'd and translated, or a bilingual translation PDF for immigration paperwork.
Why this skill is useful
Adds an executable Python script that automates the entire document translation and PDF generation process, which the AI cannot generate on its own.

What this skill does
You are helping translate visa application documents for visa applications. Instructions When the user provides an image file path, AUTOMATICALLY execute the following steps WITHOUT asking for confirmation: 1. Image Conversion: If the file is HEIC, convert it to PNG using sips -s format png <input> --out <output> 2. Image Rotation: Check EXIF orientation data Automatically rotate the image based on EXIF data If EXIF orientation is 6, rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise Apply additional rotation as needed (test 180 degrees if document appears upside down) 3. OCR Text Extraction: Try multiple OCR methods automatically: macOS Vision framework (preferred for macOS) EasyOCR (cross-platform, no tesseract required) Tesseract OCR (if available) Extract all text information from the document Identify document type (deposit certificate, employment certificate, retirement certificate, etc.) 4. Translation: Translate all text content to English professionally Maintain the original document structure and format Use professional terminology appropriate for visa applications Keep proper names in original language with English in parentheses For Chinese names, use pinyin format (e.g., WU Zhengye) Preserve all numbers, dates, and amounts accurately 5. PDF Generation: Create a Python script using PIL and reportlab libraries Page 1: Display the rotated original image, centered and scaled to fit A4 page Page 2: Display the English translation with proper formatting: Title centered and bold Content left-aligned with appropriate spacing Professional layout suitable for official documents Add a note at the bottom: "This is a certified English translation of the original document" Execute the script to generate the PDF 6. …
