I tried translating a Japanese manga into English. One is translated using Gemini Nano Banana (second image). One is manually edited (based on Deepseek's initial translation) with ImageTrans (third image).

I think in the foreseeable future, AI cannot replace human translation in terms of such complex images. It involves not only text, but also image content. We can make AI produce better results by improving the context and prompt, so that we can start our work with a good foundation.

Edit:

The official English version: https://www.basiccat.org/album/manga-sound-effect/official-translation.png

Since Japanese text in CG images is often vertical, if we keep the original size and position, the English will look weird (image 2). So the best approach is to reset the text in a horizontal way (image 3 and other examples)? I am using a translation tool called ImageTrans to do all the work. It generates image 2 by default. But sometimes, the text may block the characters.

Tencent comics is the official website for reading manhua and we can get the latest comics. I tested the ImageTrans browser extension and it can work with the website.
