How to translate webtoons

Webtoons are the vertical-scroll format that started in Korea and now runs worldwide, and plenty of episodes are only published in their original language. Here is how to read any of them in yours.

See it in action

Live, right on the page

Press T and every Korean bubble is translated in place, then tap to hear it spoken.

Step by step

Install and pin the extension, then open a webtoon episode in your browser.
Scroll through the episode once so every panel loads, then press T.
Bubbles and free-floating text are translated in place down the whole strip.
Hover any line to see the original; press the speaker to hear it in a native voice.

Built for the vertical format

One long strip: translate the whole episode at once, then just read down.
Text outside bubbles: narration and sound text placed over the art are detected too, not only speech bubbles.
Lazy loading: many sites load panels only as you reach them, so the scroll-through first means nothing is missed.

Any source language

Webtoon platforms are multilingual, so a series may be chapters ahead in Korean, Chinese, or Japanese before it reaches your language. Leave the source on auto-detect and read the original episodes the day they post.

Translate your next chapter

Free, 200 translations a week. Add it to Chrome, open any manga, manhwa, or manhua page, and press T.

FAQ

Does it work on webtoon sites?

Yes. It runs on the page in your desktop browser, so it works across webtoon sites. It is a browser extension, not a phone-app add-on.

Why did some panels stay untranslated?

Webtoon sites usually load panels as you scroll to them. Scroll through the whole episode once so everything loads, then press T again to re-scan.

Which source languages are supported?

Japanese, Korean, and Chinese source text, translated into your language, with a native voice for each.
