MangaLens 2.10.0
Dialogue now reads more naturally, and translated lettering fits the original speech balloons more cleanly.
English lines within the same balloon are translated together, preserving meaning and natural word order—especially in Turkish.
Clearer font sizing, safer line breaks, and better coverage of the original lettering.
More reliable support for K MANGA, MangaRead, and very long scrolling chapters.
Leaving a chapter now stops queued background work, reducing unnecessary processing.
Concurrent translations reuse the same OCR result for better efficiency.
Fewer false translations of credits, banners, and invisible preloaded pages.

Webtoons on mangaread.org now translate — and very long strips no longer get rejected.
• mangaread.org: long-strip chapters were never translated before. Now they are — the reader's own artwork, not the site's banners
• Very tall strips (over 12 megapixels) used to fail outright. They are now read in sections and still cost a single credit per page
• Preloading follows what you are actually reading, instead of stopping after the first few pages
• The extension can now fetch a page image through your own browser when a site refuses our servers — see the updated privacy policy
• Chapters no longer spend credits translating the site's own banners and ads

The page stays smooth while it translates, and MangaLens now tells you when your copy is out of date.

• No more freezing: laying out the translated text no longer locks the page — on a real chapter the longest freeze went from 17.5 seconds to 1.6
• Translating starts from the page you are looking at, not from the beginning of the chapter
• A translation no longer disappears when text measurement fails or the reader rebuilds the page
• Text no longer spills out of the balloons when our font finishes loading late
• Balloons render the same way every time, no longer depending on which one was laid out first
• Pages you have already translated come back about 45% faster from our server
• A discreet, dismissible notice in the popup when a newer version is out, with the steps for your browser

Page arrows work again after translating, Firefox is back, and paginated readers translate every page — not just the first.

←
Your keyboard keeps working. After pressing ✨ the reader’s arrow keys stopped turning pages on some sites, because focus stayed on our button. Now a mouse click releases it — while keyboard navigation keeps it, so nothing is lost for those who browse with Tab.
🦊
Firefox works again. The extension failed to start on Firefox and did nothing at all: no translation, no sign-in, no new-chapter alerts. Fixed, with a test that runs it in Firefox’s own environment so it cannot break again unnoticed.
📖
Every page of a chapter. On paginated readers only the page visible when you pressed ✨ was translated; the following ones were skipped for the rest of the chapter. Now they translate on their own as you turn.
💰
Fewer credits spent. Site decorations hidden off-screen are no longer sent for translation, and a single ✨ no longer requests the whole chapter at once.
🇺🇷
Proper Turkish typesetting. Long Turkish words are now hyphenated instead of being cut mid-word, uppercase respects Turkish spelling (İ and Ş), and the text uses a font that actually draws every Turkish letter.
🌐
Right-to-left interface. Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Urdu were fully translated but laid out left-to-right. The whole interface now follows the reading direction.
🔄
A clearer clean-up. 🧹 now removes everything it put on the page, and the page is handed back exactly as it was found.

Cleaner pages and more natural translations, with fewer stray labels on the artwork.

💬
Only real dialogue. Credits, watermarks, scanlation/typesetter lines, “read on…” promos and cover-title mastheads are filtered out more reliably, so translations land on actual speech.
🎵
Fewer stray sound effects. Korean SFX left at the edge of a sentence are cleaned up, for tidier Korean translations.
✍
Truer lettering. Balloon boxes now account for the original text’s outline and shadow, covering it fully without spilling onto the artwork.
📖
Sharper MANGA Plus. Cover and title pages use the official high-resolution image for a cleaner result.
✨
More natural phrasing. Extra post-translation polishing adapts wording more closely to the destination language.

Read on more of the sites you already use, with more complete and reliable pages.

🌐 More reader compatibility. Improved support for Comix, Asura Scans, WEBTOON and extreme long-strip chapters on MangaFire.
📖 Initial MANGA Plus support (beta). Translations are now visible and stay aligned while navigating and scrolling through protected, lazy-loaded pages.
💬 More complete balloons. Closely spaced lines are grouped more accurately, reducing missed fragments, mixed font sizes and leftover original text.
✨ Cleaner translated text. New safeguards retry or hide malformed results instead of showing unexpected characters inside a sentence.
🔥
Safer long chapters. Better handling of lazy loading, internal scrolling and unusually tall pages keeps the reader stable from start to finish.

More natural translations, cleaner pages and lettering that follows the original manga more closely.

• Dialogue order and context are preserved more reliably, reducing word-by-word translations
• Correct reading direction for manga, manhwa and manhua on MangaFire
• Smarter text size, line breaks, fonts and writing direction inside balloons
• Better native typesetting for Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic and other scripts
• More accurate separation of real dialogue from sound effects and movement noises
• Additional long-strip stability improvements: pages stay visible while translating and scrolling

New‑chapter notifications and a much cleaner read.

🔔
New‑chapter alerts. Follow your favorite series and get a notification the moment a new chapter is out. Manage everything from the new “My Series” page — add a series by title or by pasting a chapter link.
🎨
Cleaner translations. MangaLens now automatically skips sound effects, shouts/grunts, credit lines and the series title on cover pages, so only the real dialogue gets translated. New “Bubbles only” option for the cleanest possible read.
✨
More readable text. Translated text now keeps a subtle outline so it stays legible even over busy artwork. Adjustable in Settings (Off / Light / Strong).
🛡
Fairer for everyone. Sign‑ups with temporary/disposable emails are now blocked to keep the free tier sustainable.
