    what kind of question is that?

    1)you paid someone to translate it for you to english that knows korean to english (good luck with that, that is expensive).
    Or ask someone in community to do it...(good luck with that too...)
    2) try to use some machine translate to go from korean to english (also good luck with that, that is literally impossible to read)
    3) learn Korean and translate it yourself

    Question is very basic. If you don't know how to translate, you either get tools to do it for you but those are literally impossible to read for people with any understanding of English or paid someone to do it. That is a given.

    you can use google chrome browser and google translate will automatically MTL the page/chapter you're on. source: i do this lol but caution, grammar and understand of the plot goes down quite a lot bc it's auto translation.
    or use papago, that's usually more accurate but still MTL

    or, you can pay someone to do translations for you
    or learn korean and read it :blobpopcorn:

    You'll need to copy text from Ridibooks app, then share it with a translation app (like Google translate or Papago):
    1) from your Ridibooks app, copy the text (press down on your screen), then
    2) select the eclipses in the upper right corner of your screen
    3) click share (trust that the characters say "share" and
    4) select the lines not the picture icon
    5) choose your translation app (previously installed on your device)

    Ugh. Now do that for each page (nope, not kidding). If ya find a better solution, please lmk.

    You can just use the "Hi Translate" just On it then go to ridibooks and double tap the floating icon. Its will scan the screen and will automatically translate.

    But reminder that its sometimes hard to understand since i think they're not using a Google Translate API.

    Agreed! Not horrible, but not as good as Google translate or Papago.
