FAQ
Answers to the main questions about using LIB read in Japanese, English, or Korean.
Does changing the UI language change the target translation language?
No. UI language, work source language, and target translation language are separate. Search filters source language; the Reader selects the target language.
Are AI translation and Human translation the same?
No. They have separate provenance and author permissions. Human translation does not call OpenAI or consume AI allowance or credits.
Does publishing a work automatically send it to OpenAI?
No. A provider request occurs only when a supported AI feature is actually requested and the relevant server-side access, permission, and entitlement checks pass.
When can I read a Human translation?
Only when a Human translation has been published for that work and target language. Availability varies by work.
Are works in My Library public?
No. My Library is private and accessible only to the owner.
What are the current plan limits and credit prices?
Free is ¥0: public AI-translation unlocks and My Library imports share 3 uses/day, and My Library stores up to 3 works. Premium is ¥680/month in JPY: up to 30 public AI-translation unlocks/day, no daily count limit for My Library imports, and up to 20 library works. Credits are 5=¥300, 8=¥450, or 12=¥600, valid for 150 days; 1 credit unlocks AI translation for one public episode in one target language. Human translation uses no AI allowance or credits.
Does OpenAI train on or retain API data?
OpenAI's published API policy says API inputs and outputs are not used for model training by default, while explicit data-sharing participation is treated separately. Standard abuse-monitoring logs may retain content for up to 30 days. LIB read's account-specific data-sharing, Zero Data Retention, and Modified Abuse Monitoring settings are currently unverified.
Are the English legal labels official translations?
No. The Japanese Terms and Privacy Policy are currently the controlling versions.
