Spanish Translation is now available in Beta!

February 20, 2025
We're excited to announce that OpenNovel now translates to Spanish! This feature is currently in beta as we continue refining it.
To translate your novels into Spanish, go to your user profile > Language and select Español (Spanish). Only new novels will be translated into Spanish, while chapters added to existing novels will continue to be translated to English.
P.S. If you're part of any Spanish reader communities, we'd really appreciate your help in spreading awareness of this update. Your support means a lot 💙

Introducing OpenNovel V2: URL Translations and Updated Models

February 11, 2025

🤖 Model Updates

We've upgraded the Korean and Japanese Standard Model and the Chinese Boosted Model! 🥳 As with any new update, there may be early bugs we need to iron out, so please feedback/report them to us on Discord.
Note: if you regenerate a translation, it will still use the previous model version. To use the new model, you'll need to translate a new chapter.

⚡ Faster and smoother website

The website is now much snappier, with a more intuitive chapter list design.

🔗 URL Translator

In response to the overwhelming number of new website requests, we have launched a URL Translator which lets you translate most websites using OpenNovel.

Copy and paste URL to translate

Click "Add Translation", copy a chapter URL, and paste it into the URL translator to start translating.
Note: The URL translator may not work on certain websites; you will need to use the OpenNovel extension for websites with a higher level of protection: see this list.

Auto-fetch next chapter

Hobby and Bookworm users can also auto-fetch the next chapter, without needing to manually copy and paste the url again. This has the same effect as a bulk import flow, where you can just click next to fetch and translate the next chapter.

✏️ Edit Novel & Chapter Names

You can now edit the novel and chapter names as you wish. The feature to move chapters around is coming soon.
