NovelHub Translate combines a Chrome extension, NoveLM AI translation engine, and a built-in reader to bring Chinese web novels to global English readers.

If you have ever stumbled across an amazing Chinese web novel only to hit a wall because it is not available in English, you are not alone. Millions of readers face this problem every day. The story you want to read exists, but it is locked behind a language you do not understand.
That is why we built NovelHub Translate.
NovelHub Translate is an AI-powered translation platform designed specifically for Chinese web novel fans. Our current public product helps English readers access Chinese web novels without waiting for official translations. Japanese and Korean support remain on the roadmap.
Our goal is simple: let you read the stories you want, when you want them.
The platform lives at translate.novelhub.io and works alongside our Chrome browser extension. Together, they create a seamless workflow from discovery to translation to reading.
Web novels are booming globally. Titles like The King's Avatar, Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, and Coiling Dragon started as Chinese web novels before gaining massive international followings. But for every series that gets an official English release, dozens more remain stuck in their original language.
Fans have a few options, none of them great:
We think there should be a better way. So we built one.
NovelHub Translate follows a three-step workflow that keeps things simple.
Our Chrome browser extension works with supported source sites so you can import novels into your NovelHub account without manual copy-paste.
No copy-pasting. No manual formatting. Paste a novel URL into the SmartImporter on your dashboard, and the extension handles the supported-site capture in the background.
We currently support JJWXC, Qidian, QDMM, and Fanqie.
Once a chapter is captured, our AI translation engine goes to work. We use advanced language models optimized for fiction and web novels, with special attention to:
You can translate chapters one at a time on the Free plan, or queue multiple chapters on Starter and Pro.
Behind the scenes, NovelHub uses a shared translation cache. If another user has already translated a chapter, you get the result instantly without waiting. This saves time and keeps costs down for everyone.
Translated chapters open in our built-in reader. It is designed for long-form reading with:
The reader works on desktop and mobile, so your novels travel with you.
Chinese web novels are full of recurring names, places, and made-up terms. Get these wrong, and the reading experience falls apart.
NovelHub Translate includes a terminology system powered by Named Entity Recognition (NER). Our AI automatically identifies and tracks proper nouns throughout a novel, and you can review terminology entries to understand how key terms are being handled across chapters.
This matters for series with dozens of characters, magic systems with unique vocabulary, and world-building that relies on specific terminology.
When you translate a chapter, you are not just creating content for yourself. You are contributing to a shared library that benefits all users.
Here is how it works:
This approach keeps costs low and speeds up the experience for everyone.
We use a credit-based system that scales with how much you read. Credits are consumed based on Chinese source text length and character count:
Japanese and Korean credit rates will be announced when those languages launch.
NovelHub Translate offers three tiers to match how you use the platform.
Free gives you 1,000 credits per month to try the service and translate shorter works.
Starter at $4.99 per month includes 10,000 credits and unlocks batch translation for multiple chapters.
Pro at $14.99 per month provides 50,000 credits and export options for readers who want to take their translations offline.
All plans share the same translation quality. The difference is volume and convenience features. Check out our pricing page for full details.
If you run out of credits, you can purchase more at $1.99 for 2,000 credits. Purchased credits never expire.
NovelHub Translate is just getting started. We have big plans for the future.
List will be a dedicated novel index and community hub at www.novelhub.io. Think of it as a catalog where you can discover new series, read reviews, and connect with other fans. It will not host novel content, but it will link to official sources and existing translations.
SaaS will help authors and translators build their own novel websites. Whether you are an original author or a fan translator building an audience, this platform will give you the tools to create a professional reading site with custom domains, monetization options, and reader analytics.
Both are roadmap items. Stay tuned for updates.
If you have been waiting to read that Chinese web novel everyone talks about, now you can.
Sign up for free at translate.novelhub.io, install our Chrome extension, and start translating. Your first 1,000 credits are on us.
The best stories should not stay locked behind language barriers. We built NovelHub Translate to open them up.
Welcome to the future of Chinese web novel reading. We are glad you are here.
