Context-Aware Translations
Get AI translations that understand the context of your manga or novel for more accurate meanings.
A dictionary can tell you what a word means. Context-aware translations tell you what it means here — in this scene, between these characters, in this genre. Our AI reads the surrounding dialogue, considers who is speaking and to whom, and produces a natural English translation that captures the tone and intent of the original.
More than word-for-word
The AI factors in surrounding dialogue, character relationships, genre conventions, and any scene descriptions you provide. The result is a translation that reads the way a skilled human translator would write it.
Getting a Translation
Click a text region
In the reader, tap any text overlay on the page to open the word-by-word popup.
Click a text region to open the popup, then hit Translate for context-aware English
Click "Translate"
Hit the Translate button in the popup. The AI generates a full contextual translation of the selected text.
Read the result
The translation appears alongside the original Japanese. You will see natural English that accounts for the scene, not just a literal word swap.
The translation appears inline, accounting for scene context and character relationships
Page Descriptions
You can give the AI extra context about what is happening on a page. Add a short description — "battle scene", "flashback to childhood", "sarcastic argument between rivals" — and the AI will factor it into every translation on that page.
This is especially helpful for manga, where visual context (facial expressions, action lines, background details) changes the meaning of dialogue but is not captured in the text alone.
What the AI Considers
The translation engine weighs several factors together:
Surrounding dialogue — What was said on nearby panels or pages, so the AI understands the flow of conversation.
Character relationships — Whether the speaker is using formal, casual, or rough language, and what that signals about their relationship to the listener.
Genre conventions — Manga tropes, light novel narration styles, and common genre-specific phrasing are handled naturally rather than translated literally.
Your page description — Any scene context you have added (see above) gets folded into the translation.
