Comment (by phoudoin):
Issue is that a translator don't necessary support only one category, like
an image to text (OCR) or a text to image (QR code generator), or PDF to
image, etc. They also don't necessary support both-way translation.
Translators are code that knows how to translate into and/or from one or
several format.
Theorically, we could merge all of them into one huge translator add-on
;-).
Instead, we tried to split them per one single *native* format, which the
translator is named after.
What can be done, eventually, is to group (and alphabetically sort) all
translators that only support input and output the same MIME superclass,
but in such case a translator able to convert an image into text *and* to
render somehow an image from a text should appear where, under image
translators or text ones !?
