How we automated the Manga/Webtoon translation pipeline with AI

Most manga translation tools fail because they treat images like flat documents. They ignore the vertical flow of text, the complex backgrounds, and the delicate typesetting.

I’ve been working on a specialized pipeline that handles OCR, context-aware translation, and smart inpainting to restore the art underneath the text. I just wrote a detailed guide on how this applies specifically to Webtoons.

Whether you're a reader or a developer interested in image-to-image AI workflows, this breakdown is for you.
