Translating Charm

Translating Charm translates manga and comics on web pages, right in Safari. Open a page with manga images and swipe left on an image, or choose Translate Page from the Safari page menu. The text is detected and erased, and the translation is typeset into the speech bubbles. Swipe again to see the original. ON YOUR DEVICE • Manga text and bubble detection, Japanese OCR (manga-ocr) and LaMa inpainting run locally with Core ML. • The app measures the CPU, GPU and Neural Engine on your device and uses the fastest one for each model. • The models (about 330 MB) are downloaded once and can be removed at any time. Without them, the system's text recognition is used. TRANSLATE YOUR WAY • Apple Translation runs on your device, free and without an account (iOS 26 or later). • Or use your own large language model with your own API key: OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible service, including one on your local network. • Only recognized text is sent by default, to the provider you choose after you agree. Optional image assistance also sends a page thumbnail to a compatible provider. • Source language is detected automatically: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, English and more. Translate into Simplified or Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German or Spanish. FITS THE PAGE • Translations are fitted to the shape of each bubble, horizontally or vertically like the original. • Reading order follows the panels. IN SAFARI • Translate the whole page from the page menu, or swipe left on a single image. • The floating ball can translate images automatically as you scroll, remembered per site. • Preview translations in Safari and optionally queue a full-quality result for the app. When the app can process the queue, the finished result appears in Safari. NEVER TWICE • Reuse cached results for the same settings and quality level, including resized copies. • Repeated sentences reuse earlier translations, so names stay consistent. • Import saved pages from Photos or Files and translate them in the app. • Sync settings and optional translation caches with iCloud Drive or your own WebDAV server. Export a backup with the items you select. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no analytics. The developer runs no servers and collects no data. Translating Charm is a reading aid for personal use.
