Self-hosted or online
The open-source project
manga-image-translator on GitHub is a tool you run yourself, with Python, model downloads and ideally a GPU. It suits people who want to tune every setting.
This website
Manga Translator is a separate hosted service, not a copy of that project. There's nothing to install or update; images are processed in the cloud and come back finished.
Which to use
Large batches on your own hardware: the self-hosted tool. A few chapters on a laptop or phone: upload them here.

Is this the manga-image-translator from GitHub?
No. Manga Translator is a separate online service and isn't affiliated with that open-source project. You don't install it or run any code.
Do I need a GPU or Python?
No. Translation runs in the cloud, so a browser on a desktop or phone is enough.
Which languages can it read?
Japanese (vertical text included), Korean and Chinese. It writes English and about 50 other languages.
What if an image fails?
If an image can't be translated, for example because it has no text, it isn't charged.
