Webtoon Translation and Typesetting

A webtoon is a popular form of comics and graphic novels that originated in South Korea. With its unique stylistic elements and exciting stories, webtoons have gained popularity worldwide and now webtoon translation services into different languages are common to appeal to audiences from all backgrounds.

At its core, webtoon translation services involve translating the text of a webtoon into another language. It is typically preserving the texts’ original meaning while also providing an accurate rendering for readers in other countries. This process can involve working closely with professional translators or online tools or services that offer machine-based translations or human editing.

In addition to translating webtoon into different languages, CCCI offers webtoon typesetting services specifically tailored for this comic format. Typesetting for webtoons often includes special features such as balloons, word bubbles, and panel borders to help create a clear and easy-to-read layout that matches the original Korean version.

Whether you are looking to translate or typeset your webtoon for a new audience, CCCI, as a professional webtoon translation and typesetting agency, offers these services to help you get started.

South Korean webtoons have seen a rise in popularity and this can be attributed to some factors, including the increasing accessibility of webtoons and the wide range of genres they cover.

In 2020, the webtoon industry size was estimated to stand at around 1.05 trillion South Korean won. It is expected to grow even further in the coming years. Outside of South Korea, webtoons have also gained popularity in other countries in Asia, such as China and Japan. In recent years, they have begun to gain a following in the West.

Many popular webtoons have been adapted into TV shows, movies, and even video games. A lot of popular Kdramas were also based on webtoons. For example, “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim”, “Cheese in the Trap”, and “Love Alarm”. South Korea is not the only country where webtoons are popular – they are read across the globe, with many countries having their own webtoon platforms.

With their engaging stories and diverse genres, Korean comics and webtoons have something for everyone and for every season – and it is no surprise that they are becoming more and more popular around the world.

While webtoons have a loyal and dedicated following, there are still many readers who prefer the traditional format of comics and graphic novels. If you’re a creator or a publisher looking to expand your audience especially in countries like Japan or the U.S. whose standard format of comics is page-based, or simply preserve your work in a physical format, converting webtoon to a comic page can bring a range of benefits to both you and your readers.

We see it on webtoon platforms as previews and banners, on YouTube or other social media as teasers or trailers, or even as a full 2d animation on Netflix, YouTube, or other streaming platforms. Audiences are always looking for other medium to enjoy their favorite stories. With our talented and pop-culture savvy team, CCCI is thrilled to help you with your webtoon animation needs.
