Compare TeaNovel and Immersive Translate for Chinese novels: bilingual webpage reading, terminology, private chapter imports, EPUB uploads, and exports.
TeaNovel organizes imported Chinese novel chapters in a private reading workflow. Immersive Translate offers bilingual webpage and document translation across a broader set of content types. Both can use terminology and context; this page does not claim that one is stateless or establish a measured translation-quality winner.
As checked on October 8, 2026, Immersive Translate's official site describes bilingual webpage translation, document formats including EPUB and PDF, video subtitles, and image translation. It also advertises context-aware translation with customizable terminology. Earlier statements here that it had no terminology support or context mechanism were too broad and have been removed.
Check its live documentation for the engines, language pairs, platforms, plan limits, and settings you need. A provider's feature list is not an independent accuracy benchmark or a guarantee that every source page will work.
TeaNovel supports Chinese-to-English personal reading. Its desktop extension imports accessible chapters from JJWXC, Qidian, QDMM, Fanqie, Qimao, Zongheng, and SFACG free chapters. Source login, paid access, CAPTCHA, and complete chapter recovery still apply.
Imported chapters appear in your private bookshelf. NoveLM supplies recognized genre instructions and per-novel terminology; readers can inspect the terminology list, but cannot manually edit it. The web reader provides chapter navigation, reading progress sync, and translation status. Quality scores, when available, are review signals rather than guarantees. See the extension guide and engine explainer.
Pro also supports text EPUB upload and TXT/EPUB export. TeaNovel does not import PDF, TXT, or image-only books. Uploading and parsing a supported EPUB do not spend translation credits; choose chapters and review their estimate before translation.
| Task | What to check |
|---|---|
| Read beside the original webpage | Immersive Translate's bilingual webpage workflow and source compatibility |
| Keep imported novel chapters together | TeaNovel's bookshelf, chapter navigation, and progress controls |
| Translate a PDF or image | The other tool's documented formats; TeaNovel does not provide these import routes |
| Translate an owned text EPUB | Both tools' current import limits, chapter review, and output requirements |
| Control terminology | Whether the needed edits or term libraries are available; TeaNovel's list is view-only |
| Read offline | Export format, completed-chapter coverage, and plan access |
Try a small, lawfully accessible sample in the workflow you intend to use. Check omissions, names, pronouns, register, and readability. Do not assume that a tool's broad format support or novel focus alone establishes better translation quality.
TeaNovel Free includes 1,000 credits per month. Starter and Pro offer batch translation and Translate All; Pro adds EPUB upload and TXT/EPUB export. Chinese translation costs 1 credit per 100 source characters, rounded up per chapter, with a minimum of 1 credit. See pricing.
