I created this site to document my experience with manga translation tools and workflows. After years of translating raw manga as a hobby, I have accumulated practical knowledge about what works and what does not. This site is where I share those notes.
I started translating manga manually about five years ago, working on short one-shots that never got official English releases. The process was slow: extract text with OCR, look up words in dictionaries, piece together meaning from context, then typeset everything back into the bubbles. A single chapter could take an entire weekend.
AI manga translators changed everything. What used to take hours now takes minutes for a first draft. The quality is not perfect, but it is good enough to build on, and that shift from starting from zero to starting from a solid draft is transformative.
I have tested most AI manga translation tools on the market. Manga Translator stands out because it combines translation and editing in one interface. You do not need to export, open Photoshop, and re-import. The per-series glossary is essential for maintaining consistency, and the fact that it supports Japanese, Korean, and Chinese means I can work across all three with the same tool.
