About Manga Translator
Manga Translator is a browser tool that translates manga pages between more than fifty languages, combining OCR to read the text out of the artwork, translation models with manga-specific glossaries, and typesetting to put the result back into the speech bubbles. The problem it solves is particular to comics: the text is not text, it is pixels inside drawn panels, often vertical, often hand-lettered, and frequently overlapping the art. A general translation tool cannot see it at all, and doing the job by hand means erasing, redrawing and re-lettering every bubble.
Where it differs from a generic OCR-plus-translate pipeline is the manga-specific handling. Glossaries and translation memories keep character names and recurring terms consistent, sound effects get their own treatment, and smart typesetting sizes the translated line to the bubble it belongs in rather than letting it overflow the art. The front page works without an account, which is unusual in this category and makes it straightforward to test on a single page before committing to anything.
The service is operated by Ficory LLC and reports more than 100 million translations completed at 99 percent accuracy. Both of those numbers are published by the vendor rather than independently measured, so they are worth reading as marketing.
Pick a source language and a target language from the selectors on the front page. The source list covers the languages manga actually arrives in, including Japanese, Korean and both simplified and traditional Chinese, and the target list runs past fifty.
Upload the page or pages you want translated. OCR reads the lettering out of the artwork, the translation pass runs against the selected glossaries, and typesetting places the translated text back into the bubbles.
For larger jobs, batch translation handles multiple pages at once and background translation lets a job continue without holding the tab open. Custom translation settings are available for studios that need particular terminology preserved across a series.
- •OCR built for comic artwork - Reads lettering out of drawn panels rather than expecting selectable text, which is the step a general translation tool cannot perform at all.
- •More than fifty target languages - Sources cover the languages manga is published in, with targets spanning European, South Asian and Southeast Asian languages.
- •Glossaries and translation memories - Keeps character names, honorifics and recurring terminology consistent across pages and across a whole series.
- •Smart typesetting - Places the translated line back into the speech bubble and fits it, rather than leaving text to overflow the art.
- •Batch and background translation - Queue multiple pages and let a job run without keeping the tab open, which is what makes a full chapter practical.
- •No signup required to try - The translator is usable from the front page without creating an account.
Aimed at scanlation groups and independent translators who currently spend most of their time on cleaning and lettering rather than on translation itself, studios handling official localisation at volume, and readers who simply want a page they can understand rather than a publication-ready result.
Pricing is not published anywhere on the site, so anyone planning to rely on this at scale should establish cost before building a workflow around it. Heavily stylised lettering and sound effects drawn into the art remain the hardest cases for every tool in this category, and the accuracy figure quoted above is the vendor own measurement rather than a tested one.
