Manga translator extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox

How it works

1. Add RuneManga to your browser and sign in once with Google, Discord or an emailed link.
2. Pick the language you read in the extension's popup. The original language is detected by itself.
3. Open a chapter on the reader you use. RuneManga's R button shows up on the pages.
4. Click the R button to translate that page, or turn on Auto and the pages translate by themselves as you scroll.
5. Press and hold a translated page to see the original, or switch back with one click.

What the extension does

• Finds the speech bubbles, captions and text on the art, reads it (OCR) and translates it with RuneLingua, RuneManga's own AI translator for manga and manhwa.
• Erases the original text, redraws the background under it and letters the translation in a matching size, colour and style.
• Leaves sound effects alone, so the art keeps its energy.
• Handles long webtoon strips, black-and-white manga and full-colour manhwa.
• Translate an area: draw a box around any part of a page to translate just that, even on readers that protect their pages.
• Edit image: change or add text, erase or paint over the art, then download the page.

Languages

The extension reads Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Thai, or detects the language by itself. It translates into 93 languages. Arabic and Thai results are still experimental.

Translation follows your scrolling

With Auto on, RuneManga does not push a whole chapter through at once. The pages near your position go first and the zone moves with you, so the first pages come back fast and the servers stay quick for everyone.

What it sends, and what it does not

• Only the page images you translate go to RuneManga's translation server. They are deleted about an hour after the job finishes.
• Nothing is sent until you click a page, use Translate an area or turn Auto on for a site.
• No browsing history or page addresses are collected, and your history of translated pages stays in your browser.
