Perfecting Japanese to English Conversion

Nano Banana Pro solves the specific challenges of translating vertical Japanese manga into horizontal English text.

Smart English Typesetting

Japanese bubbles are vertical; English is horizontal. Our AI intelligently resizes and wraps English text.

Natural Sentence Flow

We reorder Japanese SOV structures into natural English SVO flow using contextual AI.

Clean Text Removal

Removes Japanese text from bubbles and redraws the background (in-painting) before adding English.

SFX in English

Translates Japanese Onomatopoeia into English equivalents (e.g., 'Boom') for immersive reading.

Name Consistency

Keeps character names consistent across pages (e.g., ensuring 'Luffy' doesn't become 'Ruffy').

Scanlation Support

A powerful tool for English scanlation groups to get rough drafts instantly from raw scans.

Handles Text Expansion

English text is often 30% longer than Japanese. Our engine automatically adjusts font sizes.

Smart Honorifics

Context-aware handling of '-san', '-kun'. Translates to 'Mr./Ms.' or keeps honorifics.

Under the Hood

How We Clean Manga Text Bubbles

Translating manga isn't just about replacing words. The biggest challenge is removing the original Japanese text without leaving ugly white boxes.

Segmentation: Nano Banana Pro identifies text bubbles and separates them from the background art.
In-Painting: Our AI predicts what the art looked like behind the text and fills in the gaps seamlessly.
Typesetting: Finally, the English translation is placed inside the clean bubble with the correct font weight and alignment.

FAQ: Japanese to English Translation

Will English text fit in vertical bubbles?

Yes. English text is typically longer, but our 'Smart Typesetting' engine automatically adjusts font size and line breaks to ensure the English text fits perfectly inside the vertical bubbles.

How to translate raw manga on PC?

Simply open this website on your browser (Chrome/Edge). You can drag and drop multiple images or entire folders to translate raw manga chapters in bulk directly on your PC.

Does it translate sound effects (SFX)?

Yes, we are rolling out SFX translation. The AI identifies Japanese onomatopoeia (like 'Don') and replaces them with English equivalents (like 'Boom') or subtitles them.

Can I use this for scanlation?

Absolutely. Many groups use our tool to generate a 'Rough Draft' and clean plates (backgrounds with text removed), saving hours of manual cleaning and translation time.

Is there a free manga translator?

Yes, AIAI provides free trial credits for every new user. You can translate several pages of manga for free to test the quality of our Nano Banana Pro model.
