How to Translate Korean Webtoons

While translations are now available directly from webtoon publication sites, fan translations were prevalent in the early days of international webtoons. Fans alone were responsible for translating works, even creating their own mobile apps to read webtoons in different languages. The international fans’ dedication and love for webtoons were enough to prompt publishers to translate works upon their serialization, making it far easier for fans to engage with the content they love.

Webtoons have become a great way for aspiring authors and illustrators to self-publish their works and create a fanbase. The international appeal of webtoons – and their foundation in Korean manhwa – make them a fun and engaging way to get acquainted with a wide array of cultures and perspectives at the touch of a button.
