Manga Translator

Manga Translate LLM is an open-source manga translation system that runs entirely on your own computer. It combines a Chrome extension (side panel interface), a FastAPI backend (Docker-containerized), and local language models via LM Studio or Ollama — no cloud services, no API keys, your images never leave your machine. Built for weak, local models Unlike tools that need a big cloud model or high-end GPU, this extension is engineered to work well on modest local models (9B+ parameters). Instead of asking a small model to translate an entire page in one shot — which small models handle poorly — the pipeline breaks translation into structured stages: OCR — reads the raw text on the page Whole-page vision analysis — a vision model reviews the image, fixes/groups OCR results, and does a first translation pass Panel-specific re-reading — a focused vision pass re-reads each panel at full resolution Voting — cheap requests run in parallel, majority answer wins, catching one-off mistakes Have a powerful local model or a paid API instead? Turbo mode collapses the pipeline to the minimum number of requests, translating up to 10× faster by skipping the extra scaffolding. Features Fully local processing — your manga images and translations never leave your PC Works with LM Studio or Ollama as the LLM backend Simple mode for everyday use, Developer mode with debugging tools, pipeline toggles, and direct LLM chat Ready-made hardware presets for different VRAM configurations UI available in 13 languages: English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Turkish Requirements Docker must be installed, along with local language models (LM Studio recommended for better performance on lower-VRAM machines). Full step-by-step installation instructions and documentation are available on GitHub.
