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. MangaGloss - AI 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.
