Plain-text version of this page for AI assistants and readers. Site overview: https://translatemymanga.com/llms.txt Prices and plan details change; the current ones are on https://translatemymanga.com/pricing --- Batch · reading order preserved # Translate a whole chapter in one go Uploading 40 pages one at a time is not reading. Drop a folder, a ZIP or a CBZ and get the whole chapter back in reading order — with names and terminology consistent from page 1 to page 40. Drop a chapter — CBZ, CBR, ZIP, PDF or the loose pages CBZ · CBR · ZIP · 7z · PDF · JPG · PNG · WEBP — unpacked here in your browser, in reading order Translate to: ## What "a whole chapter" actually needs Four things that don't matter for one page and matter a lot for forty. 01 ### Reading order Right-to-left for manga, left-to-right for comics, top-down for webtoon. Detected from the pages, and you can override it before the run starts. 02 ### Any archive in, an archive out Drop a ZIP, CBZ, CBR, 7z or PDF. Pages are unpacked in reading order, and the finished chapter comes back as a CBZ that Panels, YACReader and most comic readers open directly. 03 ### Whole-page context Every balloon on a page is translated in one pass with the full page as context, so names and register stay consistent within the page. 04 ### Export as CBZ Back into the comic reader you already use — Panels, YACReader and the like. Not a folder of loose PNGs. ## What batch mode does that page mode cannot Six things that only matter once you are running forty pages instead of one. ORDER ### Reading sequence Detected from the pages and from filenames as a tiebreaker, so 001.jpg through 040.jpg always lands in the right order. Override it before the run if a volume mixes directions. ORDER ### Reading order kept Right-to-left for manga, left-to-right for comics — detected per page from the balloon shapes, so a mixed archive doesn’t come out scrambled. PROGRESS ### Nothing is lost Each page is uploaded to your library the moment it finishes. Close the tab and what’s done stays done; the rest picks up next time. RESILIENCE ### One bad page A corrupt or unreadable scan is reported on its own and costs no credit. The other 39 pages still finish. EXPORT ### Back to your reader CBZ out, which Panels, YACReader and most comic readers open directly. Not a folder of loose PNGs you have to zip yourself. READ ### Read while it runs A built-in reader shows each page as it finishes — arrow keys or swipe to turn pages, and you can flip between original and translated. ## Batch mode vs one page at a time Forty pages uploaded individually is not reading, it is data entry. Chapter mode One page at a time Effort One drop, one run 40 uploads, 40 downloads Reading order Detected and preserved Whatever order you happened to upload Character names Consistent across the chapter Re-guessed on every page Split sentences Handled across the page boundary Broken at every page break Output One CBZ A folder of loose files ## When people reach for this ### Catching up on a series Ten chapters behind and the official translation stopped. Run them in order and the terminology holds together across all ten. ### Reading on a device Export a CBZ and it opens in your comic reader like any other chapter. ### Archiving a volume A tankōbon you own, translated once and kept. Names stay the same in chapter 12 as in chapter 1. ### Working through a backlog Queue a folder, come back when it is done. Failed pages are reported individually rather than sinking the whole run. ## Not sure it handles your files Try one page first on the free tier. If the output looks right, come back and run the whole chapter.

A typical manga chapter is 18–40 pages; a webtoon chapter is one long strip that counts as 3–5. ### Does it keep reading order? Yes, detected from the pages and overridable. Filenames are used as a tiebreaker, so 001.jpg … 040.jpg always works. ### Can I export back to my reader? CBZ out, which Panels, YACReader and most comic readers open directly. ### What about content I don't own? You're responsible for what you upload or link to. We follow a standard [DMCA process](https://translatemymanga.com/dmca) and remove content on valid notice. ### What if one page fails mid-run? That page is reported on its own and does not cost a credit. The rest of the chapter still completes — a single bad scan should not sink 40 pages. ### How long does a chapter take? Roughly a few seconds per page, running several at once. A 20-page chapter is usually done in under a minute. ### Can I fix a page the model got wrong? Open that page in the single-page translator, then draw a box over the balloon it missed — the model reads just that region for one credit and merges it into the page. Then click any balloon to edit its text, resize it or drag it. ### Do names stay consistent across pages? Each page is translated with the full page as context, so a name is consistent within the page. A pinned series glossary isn’t available yet — if you need one, tell us.
