Manga Translator
AI Manga Translator is an online platform that automatically detects, translates, and typesets dialogue in manga, manhwa, and comics across multiple languages.
Manga Translator (mangatranslate.com) is a specialized AI-powered platform designed for translating manga, manhwa, manhua, and webcomics with high visual fidelity. By combining advanced optical character recognition (OCR) with large language model translation and computer vision, the platform streamlines the entire scanlation workflow.
The tool automatically detects dialogue inside and outside speech bubbles, seamlessly inpaints the original text and backgrounds, and renders translated text using typography that matches the original comic aesthetic. Users can upload single images, process whole chapters in batches, or use the interactive web Studio to fine-tune text placement, adjust fonts, and review character names. In addition to the web app, Manga Translator provides browser extensions for reading directly on manga websites and a REST API for automated bulk workflows.
