AI-powered translator that converts manga dialogue across languages while preserving panel layout.
Manga Translator is an AI service designed to translate Japanese, Korean, and Chinese comics into other languages without disrupting the original artwork.

The tool is aimed at readers who want access to untranslated series, as well as scanlation groups and indie creators looking to speed up localization workflows. By automating cleaning, typesetting, and translation steps, it reduces the manual effort typically required to produce a readable foreign-language version.
