Translate Manga Without Losing the Art
Speech bubbles, vertical text, sound effects, onomatopoeia — manga translation is uniquely complex. Traditional tools destroy the art. Translayer's AI understands manga layout and regenerates entire pages with translated text, keeping every visual element intact.
Manga Translation Destroys the Art
Every existing tool treats manga like a regular document. It isn't.
Speech Bubbles Overflow
Translated text is longer or shorter than the original. Generic tools overflow bubbles, clip text, or leave ugly white space.
Vertical Text Ignored
Japanese manga uses vertical text (tategaki). Standard OCR and translation tools completely misread the reading order and output gibberish.
SFX & Onomatopoeia Lost
Sound effects drawn into the art are integral to the manga experience. Traditional tools either skip them entirely or replace them with ugly text overlays.
AI Built for Manga
Translayer's AI understands manga-specific layout conventions and regenerates pages with native-quality translations.
Speech Bubble Detection
AI identifies every speech bubble, thought bubble, and narration box. Text is translated and re-fitted to match the exact bubble shape and size.
SFX Preservation
Sound effects and onomatopoeia are detected, translated, and redrawn in the original artistic style — maintaining the manga's visual energy.
RTL & Vertical Text Support
Full support for right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew) and vertical Japanese text. Reading direction is handled automatically.
Batch Processing
Upload entire volumes at once. Translate 200+ pages in a single batch with consistent character names and terminology throughout.

Cost Savings vs Manual Lettering
"We localized 12 volumes of our flagship series into 8 languages — 2,400 pages total — in just two weeks. Our letterers would have needed 6 months. The SFX handling alone saved us thousands of hours of manual redrawing."
