Thank you very much for your detailed help and for providing the example screenshot.

I found the cause of the problem. The display scaling on my 4K monitor was set to the default 150%, and I also realized that I had not enabled Manga Mode. I apologize for overlooking such an important setting and for the confusion this caused.

After changing the display scaling and enabling Manga Mode, the translations are now correctly overlaid on top of the original text inside the speech bubbles, exactly as I expected. Everything is working perfectly now!

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain the settings and possible causes in such detail. Your example screenshot made it especially easy for me to understand what the correct result should look like.

Thank you again for your patience and excellent support!

Hi,

I tried the settings you recommended, but unfortunately the problem is still the same.

I used:

• Lens Mode
• Manga Mode: Enabled
• Vertical Text: Disabled
• OCR Language: English
• Target Language: Japanese
• Select Area: Only the comic page/panels

I reproduced the issue using the Diagnostic Build as well.

The Japanese translation boxes are still positioned away from the original English text. What I expected was for the Japanese translation to be placed directly over the original English text, as shown in the example images.

I have attached:

• Original Comic Page
• Incorrect Translation Overlay Position
• Diagnostic Build console logs

I did not change the OCR language while reproducing the issue; it remained set to English.

Could you please investigate this as a possible overlay positioning/layout issue?

Thank you.

Hi, I recently purchased Thaluna v3.2d specifically for reading English comics.

I'm using YACReader to read Marvel comics. OCR and translation work correctly, but the Japanese translation appears in separate black boxes around the page instead of being placed directly over the original English text.

I have tried Manga Mode and Game Lens, but I still cannot get the same direct overlay behavior shown on the official Manga Translator page:

https://thaluna.app/manga-translator

According to the official website, the translated text should be displayed directly on top of the original page.

Is there a specific setting or workflow I need to enable to get the same direct overlay behavior in v3.2d?

My setup:

- Windows 11

- RTX 4060 Ti 8GB

- YACReader

- English → Japanese

- Thaluna v3.2d

- Manga Mode enabled

- Vertical Text enabled

- OCR Language: English

Thank you!
