Saber-Translator is a multimodal AI translation suite and visual editor designed for manga and comics. It functions as a comprehensive pipeline that combines optical character recognition, AI-powered translation, and image inpainting to translate text while restoring original backgrounds.
The system is distinguished by its use of multimodal models to maintain narrative and character consistency across multiple pages via context windowing. It features an extensible translation framework that allows users to inject custom logic and manage third-party plugins through a zip-based distribution system.
The tool includes a visual editor for refining text bounding boxes, fonts, and bubble placements with real-time synchronization between the image canvas and a sidebar editor. Additionally, it provides an AI analysis engine that uses vector-based semantic retrieval to generate plot summaries, map story timelines, and enable natural language querying of content across a manga library.
The project is implemented in Python.
