Troubleshooting

Manga translation failed or still waiting?

Check source access, official or MTU connections, image preparation and the existing task before retrying a failed or waiting translation.

Identify the stage

An image that could not be fetched, a submitted task that is still processing and an explicitly failed translation are different states. Read the page message first. One problem page does not block the others.

For retrieval issues, confirm the image opens normally on the source site and check site/CDN permissions. Lazy loading, navigation or source restrictions may affect access.

Resolve the original task first

Official tasks persist on the backend. Closing the page or briefly losing connectivity does not delete the task. Recover its original status after reconnecting. For MTU, check the service directly before retrying; the extension cannot retrieve its historical tasks.

For an unknown official task result, check the existing task before retrying. Reconnect an expired MTU session in channel settings; reconnecting does not resubmit a translation. Use the language choices provided by the selected channel.

Check access and report clearly

Sign in again if authorization expired, verify the mode’s language list, and check the current allowance or promotional expiry. Explicit failure releases the related reservation.
