About
About LingoManga
LingoManga is a web-based AI manga translator for full chapters. You upload one chapter as a ZIP or CBZ, read every page as a free low-resolution preview, and pay $4.90 only if you want the clean full-resolution download. It is not a language-learning app, a manga reader, or a site that hosts translated manga.

What it is not
- Not a language-learning app. LingoManga translates manga chapters; it does not teach Japanese, and it is unrelated to any app with a similar name.
- Not a manga reader or library. There is no public gallery and no catalogue. Access is through a private link to your own uploaded chapter.
- Not a publisher of translated manga. You must own the manga or have permission to translate it. Uploaded files are deleted after 7 days.
How the pipeline works
- Pages are unpacked and sortedHidden files are ignored, filenames are sorted naturally, and double-page spreads stay one wide page.
- Text is located on each pageSpeech bubbles, narration boxes, captions and readable sound effects drawn into the art are detected as text regions.
- Text is translated and re-letteredThe translated line is placed back into the same bubble, matched to its size and shape, and the page is redrawn.
- A quality gate checks every pagePages with missing glyphs, residual source text or obvious layout drift are retried rather than shipped silently.
- Preview first, payment secondYou read the whole chapter as a low-resolution preview; payment only unlocks the clean full-resolution ZIP.
The pipeline runs on a frontier image model and is wrapped in manga-specific rules and tuning: page order, right-to-left reading, long-strip webtoons, bubble-fit lettering and per-language checks. It is not a generic image generator with a prompt box.
Honest limits
- The model redraws each page, so fine line art, screentones and small details can shift slightly.
- Japanese is the best-tested source language; Korean, Chinese and others may need a closer look in the preview.
- Stylized lettering, puns and honorifics can be translated literally. The preview exists so you can judge before paying.
