Augmented reality-based translations associated with travel

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a messaging application running on a device of a user, a request to scan an image captured by a device camera;

obtaining, in response to receiving the request, a travel parameter associated with the request, and an attribute of an object depicted in the image;

determining, based on the travel parameter and the attribute, to perform a translation with respect to the object;

performing, in response to the determining, the translation with respect to the object;

selecting, from among plural augmented reality content items, an augmented reality content item based on the attribute and the travel parameter;

activating the selected augmented reality content item; and

displaying the augmented reality content item, which includes the translation, with the image.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the travel parameter indicates at least one of a travel schedule, a transportation schedule, a language, a general location, a specific venue or landmark, an activity, a list of participants, or a topic of interest associated with travel by the user.

3. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a messaging application running on a device of a user, a request to scan an image captured by a device camera;

obtaining, in response to receiving the request, a travel parameter associated with the request, and an attribute of an object depicted in the image;

determining, based on the travel parameter and the attribute, to perform a translation with respect to the object;

performing, in response to the determining, the translation with respect to the object;

selecting, from among plural augmented reality content items, an augmented reality content item based on the attribute and the travel parameter;

activating the selected augmented reality content item; and

displaying aa the augmented reality content item, which includes the translation, with the image.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the attribute comprises machine-encoded text based on text depicted within the image, and

wherein the translation is performed with respect to the machine-encoded text.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, during display of the translation, user input corresponding to a tilt gesture of the device; and

performing, in response to receiving the user input, a second translation with respect to the object.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining to perform the translation is further based on a geolocation of the device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the augmented reality content item is selected prior to receiving the request.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request corresponds to user selection of an interface element for performing the scan.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request corresponds to a press-and-hold gesture performed within a predefined portion of a screen of the device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image corresponds to a live feed of a camera of the device.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image corresponds to a saved image included in a photo library associated with the user.

12. A device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to:

receive, by a messaging application, a request to scan an image captured by a device camera;

obtain, in response to receiving the request, a travel parameter associated with the request, and an attribute of an object depicted in the image;

determine, based on the travel parameter and the attribute, to perform a translation with respect to the object;

perform, in response to the determining, the translation with respect to the object;

select, from among plural augmented reality content items, an augmented reality content item based on the attribute and the travel parameter;

activate the selected augmented reality content item; and

display an the augmented reality content item, which includes the translation, with the image.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the travel parameter indicates at least one of a travel schedule, a transportation schedule, a language, a general location, a specific venue or landmark, an activity, a list of participants, or a topic of interest associated with travel by a user.

14. The device of claim 12 , wherein the attribute comprises a name of the object, and

wherein the translation is performed with respect to the name of the object.

15. The device of claim 12 , wherein the attribute comprises machine-encoded text based on text depicted within the image, and

wherein the translation is performed with respect to the machine-encoded text.

16. The device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to:

receive, during display of the translation, user input corresponding to a tilt gesture of the device; and

perform, in response to receiving the user input, a second translation with respect to the object.

17. The device of claim 12 , wherein determining to perform the translation is further based on a geolocation of the device.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

receive, by a messaging application running on a device of a user, a request to scan an image captured by a device camera;

obtain, in response to receiving the request, a travel parameter associated with the request, and an attribute of an object depicted in the image;

determine, based on the travel parameter and the attribute, to perform a translation with respect to the object;

perform, in response to the determining, the translation with respect to the object;

select, from among plural augmented reality content items, an augmented reality content item based on the attribute and the travel parameter;

activate the selected augmented reality content item; and

display an the augmented reality content item, which includes the translation, with the image.
