Frequently Asked Questions

What is Webnovels AI?

Webnovels AI is a solution designed to enable readers and translators to get AI machine-translated novels (specifically Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Viet) quickly and to a legible quality, leveraging experience from novel translation work.

Why use Webnovels AI instead of Google Translate?

Webnovels AI claims superior translation quality grammatically and linguistically, better preserving the original meaning of the text, especially for Asian novels, compared to standard Google Translate results.

Will novels translated by Webnovels AI require editing?

Yes, while the translations aim to be perfectly readable, final editing by a translator is recommended for polishing and ensuring accuracy, although the AI is crafted to minimize missed content.

How accurate are the AI novel translations?

The translations are automatically generated and not perfect; there might be hiccups. However, the process aims for completeness and uses glossary quality control. Users rate the quality around 80%+, and it improves over time. It is considered superior to a standard Google Translate experience for novels.

Can Webnovels AI translate NSFW content?

The platform uses OpenAI's API, which prohibits NSFW content. To handle this, Webnovels AI intelligently detects NSFW sections and uses Google Translate or Bing Translate as fallbacks for those specific parts, ensuring the entire book can be processed, albeit with a potential small quality difference in those sections.
