WEBTOON is a global platform where you can read thousands of comics, webcomics, manga, and manhwa. With so many international stories available, you might wonder how to find specific regional comics or read in different languages.
This guide explains how language settings work on WEBTOON and how to find the stories you want to read.
What You Should Know Before Looking for International Comics
While WEBTOON features popular international formats like manga and manhwa, the platform integrates these stories directly into its main library. You will not find a separate, dedicated “Chinese Collection” or “Korean Collection” hub. Instead, thousands of stories from creators around the world are organized across 23 different genres on the platform.
How to Browse What Is Available
To find international stories on your current site, the best approach is to explore the main library. All translated and localized comics appear right alongside native English titles. You can easily find them by browsing the platform’s standard categories, such as romance, comedy, action, fantasy, and horror.
What to Expect About Language Availability
We want you to have realistic expectations about reading in different languages. Many series are available only in specific languages due to licensing and publication schedules.
WEBTOON officially supports multiple languages. Depending on the page or your settings, you may see language-switch options for:
- English (US)
- 中文(繁體) (Traditional Chinese)
- ภาษาไทย (Thai)
- Bahasa Indonesia
- Español
- Français
- Deutsch
However, changing your language setting does not automatically translate a comic. It simply directs you to the platform version for that specific language, which has its own unique library of available titles. A comic available on the English site may not be available on the Español or 中文(繁體) sites, and vice versa.
Using Genre and Ranking Pages for Discovery
Because international comics are grouped with all other titles, using the ranking pages is the best way to discover popular manga and manhwa.
Navigate to the ranking tabs to see what other readers enjoy. You can filter by:
- Trending: Fast-rising titles gaining quick popularity.
- Popular: The most-read series on the platform.
- Originals: Official WEBTOON publications.
- Canvas: Independent creators publishing their own work.
By checking these rankings across the 23 genres, you will naturally discover top-tier international stories that have been localized for your current language setting.
