Make an English-Turkish bilingual book

Each English paragraph with its Turkish translation directly beneath it, in one EPUB. Read the English first; the Turkish is there for the sentence that will not come apart.

The first 15 pages of text are sent to our server to be translated. The file itself stays on your device.

Turkish builds a sentence in the opposite order from English and packs several English words into one. That combination makes word-by-word reading useless: you can look up every part and still not know what the sentence said, because the meaning was in the arrangement. A translation sitting underneath answers it directly.

Your browser opens the EPUB, walks each paragraph and inserts the Turkish beneath it as a sibling paragraph inside the original file. Only the chapter documents that receive a translation are rewritten, so cover, navigation, stylesheet and metadata come through as they were.

The inserted paragraphs are styled to wrap. That matters here more than in most pairs — a single Turkish word carrying five suffixes is longer than a phone column, and without it the page scrolls sideways.

How it works

  1. Choose an English EPUB

    A DRM-free EPUB. The bilingual file is assembled in your browser, not on a server.

  2. The model reads the whole book

    Names and recurring terms are fixed once, so a name takes the same suffix treatment in every chapter.

  3. Turkish is inserted under each paragraph

    Each translation is styled beneath its paragraph and set to wrap, so a long agglutinated word cannot overflow the page.

  4. Read it here, or on any device

    A complete EPUB carrying the book's own fonts and stylesheets.

The trap, and the honest limits

Your eye will go to the Turkish. Read the English paragraph first, every time. The seconds of not understanding are the practice.

Fifteen pages get translations. The rest of the book stays in English inside the same file.

The text is sent to a server and discarded when the job ends. The file never leaves your device.

Stacked, not side-by-side. Facing columns need a wide screen and fight EPUB reflow.

Questions

Which side should I read first?

English first, every paragraph. With this pair the moment of not understanding is usually a structure resolving, which is worth more than any single word.

Why is a parallel text good for this pair?

Because the difficulty is entirely structural. Turkish says with suffixes and word order what English says with separate words in a different arrangement, and seeing the same sentence built both ways — repeatedly, in real prose — teaches that faster than a grammar table can.

Will it open on a Kindle?

Yes. Kindle has accepted EPUB directly since 2022; email the file to your device or copy it across.

Do the cover and table of contents survive?

Yes. The browser rebuilds the archive entry by entry and only rewrites the chapter files that received a translation, so everything else passes through untouched.

The whole book, in parallel

The app builds the bilingual version of the entire book, with tap-to-look-up and your reading position synced across devices.
