1. A document image generating apparatus, comprising:

  • an accepting unit that accepts an original image;

    an extracting unit that extracts an original text from the original image accepted by the accepting unit;

    a translation generating unit that generates translation corresponding to the original text extracted by the extracting unit;

    a translation color setting unit that sets a color of the translation generated by the translation generating unit; and

    a document image generating unit that generates a document image in which the translation generated by the translation generating unit is added with the color set by the translation color setting unit to the original image accepted by the accepting unit, whereinin the document image generated by the document image generating unit, a color of the original text is different from the color of the translation;

    the apparatus further comprising;

    a layer generating unit that generates an original layer representing the original image accepted by the accepting unit and a translation layer representing the translation generated by the translation generating unit, wherein the document image generating unit composites the original layer and the translation layer generated by the layer generating unit, in order to generate the document image;

    a determining unit that determines whether the color of original text extracted by the extracting unit satisfies a predetermined condition or not; and

    an original text color changing unit that changes the color of original text in the document image to be a color which satisfies the predetermined condition when the determining unit determines that the color of original text extracted by the extracting unit does not satisfy the predetermined condition, and that fails to change the color of original text in the document image to be the color which satisfies the predetermined condition when the determining unit determines that the color of original text extracted by the extracting unit satisfies the predetermined condition, wherein the color set by the translation color setting unit does not satisfy the predetermined condition.
