AI Manga Translator — In-Page, Layout-Preserving

Translate manga & manhwa on any site. 50+ languages, vertical/horizontal OCR, layout-preserving typesetting, PDF & batch.

AI Manga Translator — In-Page, Layout-Preserving Translate manga and manhwa directly on the websites you already read. AI Manga Translator adds a “Translate” button overlay to images on the page, so you can view translations in place without switching tabs or downloading files. Choose your Language, Model, OCR, and Text orientation from a simple popup, save once, and then click the overlay button on each page to translate. What makes it different In-page translation: See translations where the comic lives. No copy-paste or manual cropping. Layout-preserving typesetting: Keep the reading flow and bubble shapes for a natural result. Robust OCR: Works with vertical and horizontal text commonly used in manga and manhwa. Flexible models: Select a model that fits your language pair or style (set in the popup). One-time setup: Pick Language / Model / OCR / Text orientation, then toggle the “Display a translation button on the web page” option. Account & credits: Sign in, check credits, and open billing from the popup. How it works 1、Open the popup Click the extension’s icon to open the popup. Choose: Translation language (target language) Model selection Text orientation (Auto / Horizontal / Vertical) OCR model (Optional) Display a translation button on the web page 2、Save settings Click Save settings. The extension will inject the necessary scripts into the current tab only after you save. 3、Translate on the page A “Translate” overlay/button appears on images that look like comic pages. Click it to translate in place. On some sites you may see more than one overlay—choose the one at the top-right of the comic. 4、Manage your account Use Account in the popup to sign in or sign up, refresh your status, and open Recharge / Subscription if you need more credits. Why in-page is better Keeps context: Reading order, panel grouping, and local visual cues matter in comics; in-page viewing preserves context you’d lose in a separate viewer. Fewer steps: No exporting images, no juggling extra tools or tabs, no manual stitching. Faster iteration: Switch target language, OCR, or orientation and retry instantly.

Tip: If you don’t see the overlay on a site after you save, refresh the page once. Common questions Q: Will this work on every site? A: The extension is designed to work on standard web pages (HTTP/HTTPS). Browser-internal pages (like chrome://), local files (file://), or sites with strict content security policies may restrict injection or overlays. If a site blocks overlays, try another page or open the comic in a standard viewer tab. Q: Does it read or store my browsing history? A: No. The extension does not collect your browsing history. It only runs on the page you’re viewing after you interact (save settings or click), and it stores only your feature preferences using chrome.storage. Q: Do I need an account? A: You can open the Account section in the popup to sign in or sign up. Some translation features require credits; your status and billing links are available in the popup. Q: What languages and models are supported? A: The popup allows you to select a target Language, a Model, and OCR options including Text orientation (Auto/Horizontal/Vertical). Choose what fits your content and try again if needed. Q: Can I translate entire chapters or PDFs? A: The extension focuses on in-page translation for the websites you visit. For bulk/PDF workflows, use the features provided on the website. Tips & troubleshooting Refresh after saving: If overlays don’t appear right away, refresh the page after Save settings. Site has multiple overlays: Some pages render multiple images per panel or lazy-load assets. Click the overlay at the top-right of the comic image. Restricted pages: The extension does not run on browser-internal pages (e.g., chrome://) or some special protocols (file://). Use a standard web URL instead. Try different orientation/OCR: Manga/manhwa often use vertical text; if recognition looks off, set Text orientation to Vertical (or Auto) and retry. Model choice matters: Some models do better with certain language pairs or styles. If results aren’t what you expect, switch Model and try again. Account & credits: If translation doesn’t start, check your sign-in state and credits in the Account section, then Refresh.
