How to Translate Manga Pages Online
Translate manga pages online by uploading images, a ZIP or a PDF. Every speech bubble is found, read and translated, and the translation is written back into the bubble with the artwork kept.
To translate manga without retyping every line, you need a tool that reads the text inside the speech bubbles, translates it, and puts the translation back where the original was. The manga translator on OpenImmersive Translator (openimmersive.ai) does this in your browser: upload the pages, pick a language, and download pages with translated bubbles and the artwork untouched.
How to translate manga pages
- Open the manga translator. No account is needed for the free pages.
- Upload the pages: single page images, a ZIP with a whole chapter, or a PDF, up to 60 pages at a time.
- Pick the language you want to read in.
- Download the translated pages.
Behind the scenes, an AI vision model looks at each page, finds every speech bubble, reads the text and translates it. The original text is then cleared from the bubble and the translation is written back in, sized to fit the bubble.
What to expect when you translate manga this way
- Dialogue is the strong part. In testing on real Japanese manga, every speech bubble was found and the text was read correctly, at about 8 seconds a page.
- Text drawn on the artwork (over backgrounds or screentone) cannot be erased cleanly, so its translation goes on a small white label over it.
- Tiny sound effects may be left as they are.
How much it costs to translate manga
The first 3 pages each day are free, with no account. After that, each page uses 2 credits, so a 40-page chapter is 80 credits. A free account comes with 100 credits, enough for 50 pages, and credits from the monthly plans or a one-time credit pack on the pricing section work here too.
Translate manga you have the right to use
Upload pages you own, scanned or bought, or pages you have permission to use, such as your own comic or a work whose author allows it. The tool does not connect to manga websites; it only translates the files you upload.
Other comics
The same steps work to translate manga-style comics in general, as long as the text sits in speech bubbles. Pages with text drawn freely across the artwork will need more white labels.
