Manga Translation Features

Built for Manga Pages

Our manga image translator understands the unique challenges of translating Japanese manga, from speech bubbles to vertical text and sound effects.

Speech Bubble Translation

The AI reads each speech bubble in context and regenerates it with the translated text, even when the lettering is curved or stylized. Compare each bubble with the original panel.

Vertical Japanese Text Support

Manga pages with vertical Japanese text, read right to left and top to bottom, can be translated. Check the reading order and line breaks in the result.

Onomatopoeia Handling

Japanese sound effects (onomatopoeia) like ドキドキ, バーン, and ガチャン are rewritten with the rest of the page. Depending on the lettering they may be translated or left as drawn; check that they keep their visual impact.

Respect the Rights Holders

For other works, keep the translation for your own reading or study: do not share, redistribute or sell it, and support creators by buying official translations when available. Any commercial use of a translation needs the rights holder’s permission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything About Manga Translation

Common questions about translating manga images online

How accurate is the manga image translator for Japanese text?

Recognition quality depends on scan resolution, lettering style and panel density: clean, high-resolution pages give the best results. Review names, dialogue and sound effects against the original before sharing the result.

Can I translate vertical Japanese text in manga?

The image translation workflow can process manga images with vertical Japanese text. Recognition and layout can vary, so review the translated panel against the original.

Does the translator handle manga onomatopoeia and sound effects?

Sound effects such as ドキドキ or バーン may be recognized or translated differently depending on the image. Check onomatopoeia and its context against the original panel.

Can I translate any manga page?

It depends on who holds the rights and on your country. Translating pages you own — your own comic, or a title you publish — raises no issue. For other works, keep the translation private and never redistribute or sell it without permission from the rights holder.

Can I translate doujinshi?

Yes. A doujinshi page goes through the same workflow as a manga page: upload one page image at a time, then review the speech bubbles and sound effects. Many doujinshi are fan works based on someone else’s characters, so the rights advice above applies: translate your own circle’s work or pages you have permission for, and keep any other translation for your own reading.

What file formats are supported for manga translation?

The current uploader accepts one image file per translation, up to 10 MB. Supported encoding can depend on the file and processing path.
