Hi there Rick Rinewalt

Thanks for using QandA platform

Azure Translator itself only handles plain text, not OCR on images within Word files. If you run batch translation against a DOCX that has embedded pictures with text, the service will skip or error since there’s no text layer to extract. Tryy a two-step workflow: first run the DOCX through Azure AI Document Intelligence or Computer Vision OCR to extract the text from the embedded images, then pass that extracted text to Translator (or Translator Document if you need full document formatting). In batch mode, Translator only deals with text objects inside the document, so for images you’ll need preprocessing with OCR before translation.

If this helps kindly accept the answer thanks much.
