Comics & Webtoon
Speech bubbles are tight spaces.
We've made ourselves at home.
Webtoons have constraints no other medium has: panels that scroll straight down, bubbles with fixed sizes, and sound effects fused into the artwork so they can't just be pasted over. What gets forgotten most: each character's voice has to stay the same by episode two hundred. That's a job of upkeep, not translation.

The process, in 30 seconds
From raw file to a panel ready to read — this is how a speech bubble changes language.
How a webtoon project runs
Four steps, from raw file to published episode.
The difference between typesetting and lettering
Typesetting drops the translated text into bubbles and panels with the right font, size, and style. Lettering goes further: designing type that fits the comic's mood, adjusting alignment and spacing, then redrawing sound effects until they look like they were always part of the art.
Before & after
The same panel, a different language — with no trace that other lettering was ever there.
Frequently asked
From which languages, into which languages?
Korean into English, French, and Spanish is the lane we run every day. Indonesian, Japanese, and other pairs are also available, depending on the title.
Is the translation done with AI?
No. All of the webtoon work is translated by humans and lettered by humans, from the first panel to the last. Webtoon readers can spot a machine-translated title instantly — and that's not a reputation we're willing to hand our clients.
Our title isn't published yet. How do you handle confidentiality?
We're used to holding unreleased material. An NDA can be signed before the first file moves, and file access is limited to the team working on that title alone.
Which file formats do you accept?
The highest-resolution originals — PSD, CLIP, TIFF, or raw PNG. The closer to the source, the less quality gets lost. If exports are all you have, send them anyway: our cleanup step exists precisely for that.
How do you keep hundreds of episodes consistent?
Every title gets its own style guide: each character's voice, locked terminology, type styles per bubble type. Letterers may change; the guide doesn't.
The localization doesn't stop at comics
Games, apps, websites, and documents — full localization is our parent's desk at Translexi, the same team behind these hundreds of webtoon titles.
