Important Update: Winding Down the Fan Translation Service

09.25.2025

Dear Community,


Thank you for those who were part of our Fan Translation Service and for your invaluable contributions to sharing stories with readers around the world.


After careful consideration, we've made the difficult decision to discontinue the Fan Translation Service at https://translate.webtoons.com. This was not an easy choice, but ultimately, it is necessary so we can focus our resources on enhancing other core experiences for our readers and creators.


We know this news may be disappointing, and we are committed to ensuring you have all the information you need during this transition.


Why we are winding down the service

Over the years, the Fan Translation Service has connected passionate fans who volunteered their time and talent to make series accessible across languages. However, maintaining and evolving this platform has become increasingly unsustainable. As we look to the future, we believe it is the right time to sunset this service and prioritize investments in areas where we can have the greatest impact.


Key Date

To give you ample time to prepare, we’d like to inform you of the Complete Service Shutdown date:

  • 11/26  PT

(Access to the site and all translation data will be discontinued.)


What happens to your data

After the service ends, all translation records will be permanently deleted and will not be retained or archived. This means:

  • Translation Data: All contributions will be securely and irreversibly removed from our servers after the shutdown date.

  • Personal Information: We will securely delete or destroy your personal information as soon as our service ends.

  • However, some personal information may be retained for a period of time as required by law, contract, or our legal obligations

  • Back Up Your Work: If you wish to keep a copy of your translations, please download your data from the My Profile page.

Once the service shuts down, it will not be possible to recover any records.
