Is there any website providing script from mangas in textual format, so that I
could just paste it in Google Translator? There are so many Chinese mangas
that I cannot read, and it's to hard for me to rewrite the signs into Google
Translator by finger.

There is not a page that I know of that stores the text version of manga,
actually I'm not sure such a page would be legal considering the huge legal
struggle over lyric sites in the past. However, what you are asking is not
impossible.

There is a technology called optical character recognition (OCR) which is
software scanners use to generate text versions of the scanned document. There
are several programs that implement this technology for use in translation
software. Some are available as apps available on your phone and can be found
in the app store for your device. While there are many implementations
available, one such implementation called
[Capture2Text](http://capture2text.sourceforge.net/) uses OCR specifically for
the use of translating manga, visual novels, and so forth.

These programs will copy the characters to your clipboard which you can then
put into your favorite translator. There are also some programs available out
there that will search multiple translators at once or even allow you to
create your own dictionary of words to look up words/phrases in.
