Yo guys, quick question. Can you recommend me free websites for batch translating images (Chinese to English)

I use koharu to translate locally using AI as many public model reject naughty words from these comic. I can show you if you have a dedicated graphic card or willing to roast your laptop through the night

1. Installation
Grab the latest release directly from their GitHub: https://github.com/koharu-rs/koharu
2. Importing Your Comic
Create a new project and import your pages. While Koharu accepts PDF files directly, I strongly recommend extracting the embedded PNG images into a folder or packing them into a .cbz file before importing. Working with raw raster images avoids PDF layer/compression quirks, so the inpainting step is way less likely to mess up the artwork.
3. Pipeline Setup (Detection, OCR, Inpainting)
Koharu lets you customize every step of the pipeline (text detection, OCR, and inpainting models). You can tweak these depending on your setup or comic language, but honestly, leaving everything at default works totally fine out of the box . Just stick with the default presets for your first run.
4. Local LLM Choice
You can hook up local models via GGUF or OpenAI-compatible endpoints like Ollama. With an RTX 4060 Ti, you can run qwen3.5-abliterated:9b effortlessly. Being abliterated, it won't hit annoying safety refusals when translating action, violence, or edgy dialogue.
5. Run & Export
Hit run to process the pages. Note that the initial run will be slow since Koharu has to download and install the required runtime and models first subsequent runs will be much faster. Once it's done, you can export the final images directly, or export as a layered PSD if you want to manually touch up any weird translations or redraws in Photoshop/Photopea later.

I use the same thing, that card should be plenty, you just ideally need anywhere from 9-24gb free on your hard-drive depending on how good of a translation you wanna use
