MochiTranslate - AI Manga, Comic & Webtoon Translator

MochiTranslate is an AI translator for manga, comics, webtoons, manhwa, manhua, doujinshi, and any image with foreign-language text.

Hover over any panel, click translate, and the translation is rendered back into the original speech bubble in your chosen language. No floating tooltip. No messy overlay. No pasting text over the artwork.

Read raw chapters without waiting for an official translation.

Standard translator extensions usually do not work on text inside images. Screenshot translators often cover the panel with translated text. MochiTranslate is built specifically for image-based reading.

Click the translate icon on any panel and the speech bubble is translated in seconds. MochiTranslate detects the text, sends the panel to your own Gemini API key, and renders the translated text back into the original bubble. Cached re-reads stay free.

Why MochiTranslate?

Reading raw manga, manhwa, and manhua is hard when you cannot read the source language. Most translation tools are not built for image-based reading.

Standard translator extensions do not read text inside images
Screenshot translators paste text on top of the artwork
Batch translators process every panel, including ones you can already read
Floating tooltips cover the panel while you read
Copy-pasting image text is slow and awkward

MochiTranslate is different.

It uses a vision-capable AI model with per-bubble prompting to produce natural translations, then re-renders the translated text back into the original speech bubble in a style that fits the panel.

The result feels closer to reading a translated manga page, not looking at a machine translation overlay.

Spot Translation

MochiTranslate is built for the panel you cannot read, not the whole chapter you are already reading.

Translate only what you need.

Each translation uses your own Gemini API key and usually costs only a small amount per panel. Re-reading a translated panel uses your local cache, so cached translations do not need another API call.

Source and Target Languages

MochiTranslate can translate from common manga, comic, and webtoon source languages into your chosen target language.

Source examples include:

Japanese - manga, doujinshi, light novel covers, Pixiv captions, JRPG screenshots, and visual novel screenshots
Korean - manhwa, Korean webtoons, and screenshots
Chinese - manhua, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, and foreign-language image content

Target languages can include English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, and more, depending on Gemini support.

More language pairs may be improved over time based on demand.
