    Hi all,

    Sometimes I'll read Chinese novels through MTL translate with Google extensions, but I've found that translation is really wonky on certain sites as I think some characters are inserted as pictures; does anyone know how to work around it?

    maybe use a different mtl? some can also translate a whole webpage. also if its a picture, you can also extract the words/characters then translate it. i use papago for extracting raws from images.

    it's probably the site's anti-piracy working :hmm:

    a couple of times I've run into just chunks of a single Chinese character :blobjoy:
