Quality manga and comics translation
At CCCI, we bring years of creative translation experience to your manga and comics projects. We understand that each story is unique and treat it with the care it deserves. Our approach is comprehensive – we look at both the big picture and the tiny details.
Our comics and manga translation services focus on more than just word-for-word accuracy. We delve deep into the cultural and linguistic nuances, ensuring that every humor, emotion, and character development resonates with your intended audience, no matter the genre.
But our services go beyond translation.We offer manga and comics coloring, adapt your work for vertical scrolling formats like webtoons, and even provide support with animation and editing.
Manga and comics translation process
We follow a multi-step process for our manga and comics translation. From the preparation phase, translation phase, checking phase, and finally, proofreading step, our team of linguistic experts provides the highest quality.
Below is our usual manga translation process:
The difference between creative and technical translation
CCC International offers 100% human manga and comics translation as one of its flagship services and has a dedicated team of translators for the project. This is because the process and the expertise needed for this type of translation highly differs from that of other types of translation such as web content, document, or other technical translation. The work is highly creative. Based on our and many other manga and comics translators’ experiences, the work does not only require translation and linguistic skills but also writing skills.
This is also why CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tools are not often employed in creative translation; the work goes beyond word-for-word conversion from one language to another. Rather, it is translating feeling and experience in a way best understood across specific cultures. For example, a saying such as “The early bird catches the worm” need not be translated literally; instead we find a saying equivalent to that in the target language: “Le monde appartient à ceux qui se lèvent tôt” which means “The world belongs to those who get up early.” Not literal translation, but professional localization.
