Book Translation
Your finished book, in a new language
Pick a book, pick a language, and get a full new edition in your library: chapters, characters, outline, cover text and metadata.
- A separate, editable edition
- Regional variants like Spain or Latin America
- Price shown before you start
Reach readers in another language
The job: publish the same book in a second market without a second year of work.
Without it
- A translator costs more than the first edition earned
- Copy-pasting chapters into a translator loses names and style
- Blurb, metadata and cover text are left in English
With Book Translation
- A whole book translated in about five minutes
- Characters, places and tone carried across every chapter
- Cover text, blurb and metadata in the new language too
A real chapter, before and after
The opening of The Harbor Light, translated into Spanish on AIWriteBook.
English original
Chapter 1: The Storm Warning
Nell Byrne had kept the harbor light on Gull Point for eleven winters, and she had never once let it go dark. On the first evening of November the radio crackled with a storm warning, and she climbed the iron stairs with a can of oil and a flask of tea.
Spanish edition
CapÃtulo 1: El aviso de tormenta
Nell Byrne habÃa cuidado de la luz del puerto en Gull Point durante once inviernos, y jamás habÃa permitido que se apagara ni una sola vez. En la primera tarde de noviembre, la radio crepitó con un aviso de tormenta, y subió las escaleras de hierro con una lata de aceite y un termo de té.
