Set `GEMINI_API_KEY` in the environment before running.

## Run

```bash
bun scripts/run.ts translate <image-path> [target-language] [output-path] [--dry-run]
```

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `translate <image-path> [target-language] [output-path]` | OCR the image, translate all detected text to the target language (default `zh-CN`), and save a new image with translated text overlaid. |
