Inspiration

Both of us are bilingual, and we like to read Korean comics. We thought it'd be great if the small, less popular comics got translated so that we can share those to our friends, so we made this website that helps translating.

What it does

The user can upload a comic strip, color out the text, and add new text onto the strip. They can then upload it to Firebase.

How we built it

We used a REACT application to set up the site. For the drawing and typing on the image, we used Canvas. Then, in order to upload the images, we used Google Cloud firebase to store them.

Challenges we ran into

We didn't have experience dealing with Google Cloud. We had to learn it in order to store images.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the utilization of canvas in our project. It was a crucial part of this project, and we're glad that we got it down.

What's next for Comic Translator

With more time, we would've added an auto-translate feature and a feature that made sure the sources credited were legitimate.
