How to translate a whole book
Upload the file, pick the language you read, read a free sample cut from the middle of your own book, then unlock EPUB and PDF. No waiting on a rights window and no pasting chapters into a chat.
A book is not a long page. It has chapter boundaries, footnote numbering, italic emphasis and character names that have to stay consistent from the first page to the last.
What breaks when you translate a book the wrong way
Chapter structure is the first casualty. If the tool sees a wall of text, the EPUB you get back has no table of contents.
Consistency is the second. A character called Marta in chapter 3 becoming Martha in chapter 22 is the most common complaint about machine translation of novels.
Format is the third. Translation that arrives as pasted text means you rebuild the EPUB by hand.
Step by step
This works for a PDF with selectable text and for EPUB, DOCX and TXT.
Step by step
- Confirm you can translate that file for personal reading.
- Upload the book and pick your target language, from a list of dozens.
- Read the free sample, which is cut from the middle of your book rather than the table of contents.
- Unlock the full translation and download EPUB and PDF.
- Send the EPUB to your e-reader; keep the PDF for printing or annotation.
Why the sample matters more than a demo
Most translation demos show a polished paragraph from a marketing page. Your novel has footnotes, italics, chapter breaks and a voice the model has not seen yet.
The sample here comes from your file. You judge your book, in your target language, before checkout.
Is a chat enough?
For a paragraph, yes. For a book, the context window runs out, decisions from earlier sessions are forgotten, and nothing comes back as a formatted file.

Frequently asked questions
Can I translate a scanned PDF?
A PDF with no text layer needs OCR first. After that it enters the normal flow.
Is my file private?
Yes. Your file and its translation stay private to your account. A single book only needs an email.
How long does it take?
A 300-page novel is usually ready within hours. You get the download links by email.
What if I do not like the result?
That is what the free sample is for. It is generated from your own file, so you judge the real thing before paying.
