Overview
Translate any novel or manga from 31+ languages in hours
The problem
You found a Chinese novel you're dying to read — no English translation. Or there is one, and it's releasing one
chapter a week. At that pace, you'll finish in 2029. Fan translations swap character names every 50 chapters.
Machine translation reads like a fever dream. And if the novel has spicy content? Every other scene is [CONTENT
REMOVED].
Manga and manhwa aren't much better. You're screenshotting panels and feeding them to Google Lens one at a time like it's 2015.
What we built
Novel Translator is AI trained on 1M+ chapters of Asian fiction. Upload an EPUB or TXT, get back something that
actually reads like a book. 50 pages per minute — a 300-page novel finishes in hours, a 1,000-chapter web novel
overnight.
For images, we made Suki Translate — a native iOS app that translates manga pages, manhwa panels, signs, menus,
whatever, directly on your phone. No cloud uploads, no account, no tracking. Everything stays on-device.
Why people switch to this
Glossary system that actually works. "Wei Wuxian" stays "Wei Wuxian" across 1,500 chapters. Honorifics stay.
Cultivation terms stay. Your xianxia novel won't suddenly start reading like a business email.
No content censorship. We're the only platform that translates mature content without cutting scenes. If the author
wrote it, you get to read it.
31 languages. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Arabic, Russian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, more. We've specifically
trained on xianxia, wuxia, isekai, otome, BL, and cultivation fiction — not just generic text.
Readers rate it 9/10 against human translation. We've been doing this for 10+ years across Webnovels AI, Lightnovels AI, and Yami TL. This isn't our first go.
