Translating text in images

I have seen no set of best practices on a Wikimedia project for taking an image with text and translating the text. The Haggstrom diagrams (en:User:Mikael Häggström/Diagrams) started this and did get translated a lot, but I wonder if now that there are more translation efforts and better community connections if this process could be improved. I really like the idea of getting existing medical diagrams into more languages, and I would like to see this happen on a big scale in which a lot of images get translated and processed at once.

WikiProject Medicine and WikiArs assignments pilot?

One lightweight way to pilot something like this could be a collaboration between WikiProject Medicine and WikiArs, using the outreach:WikiArS/assignments workflow that Dvdgmz has been working on to match WikiArs art students with Wikipedian/medical experts on articles in need of these images. Paging Ocaasi and Doc James...I wonder if this is something WikiMed Foundation would be interested in at some point? Siko (WMF) (talk) 03:17, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

First we need to stop Commons from deleting all the medical images which is currently up for proposal and seems likely without many more supporting them being kept [1]. If we are able to secure the existence of medical images on Wikipedia than maybe we can than think about translation. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:09, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, the idea of doing outreach:WikiArS/assignments comes from the conversation with Netha about medi-graphics in the Wikimania ideaLab session. --Dvdgmz (talk) 15:20, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Blausen donation

en:Blausen Medical is in the process of uploading a lot of health diagrams. See Commons:Special:ListFiles/BruceBlaus. These images should be candidate targets for development. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:07, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
