Problem
Manga translation is more than changing words
A manga page has speech bubbles, sound effects, panel context, and text that can be split across many OCR lines. A normal translation prompt often loses that structure.

Questions
Common questions
What is an AI manga translator?
An AI manga translator helps read text from manga pages, translate the dialogue with AI, and prepare a readable translated result.
Does Comics Translate translate the page image directly?
The app reads page text first, then uses Gemini AI for translation, and finally renders the translated text back onto the page.
Do I need a Gemini API key?
Yes. Comics Translate uses your own Gemini API key, so AI usage follows your Google account quota and terms.
Can AI translation be imperfect?
Yes. Text detection and AI translation can still make mistakes, so Comics Translate includes tools such as Repair Page and selected area fixes for difficult areas.
