Make a German-Turkish bilingual book

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

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

German and Turkish agree about one important thing and disagree about everything else. Both are willing to put a verb at the end of a clause, so the sentence rhythm is not entirely foreign in either direction. But German builds with separate words and three noun genders, and Turkish builds with suffixes and none at all — so the same content arrives in shapes that look nothing alike.

That contrast is what makes the parallel form useful here rather than merely convenient. You are not looking up words; you are watching one language's suffix chain turn into another language's clause, repeatedly, until the mapping stops needing to be worked out.

Your browser opens the EPUB, walks each paragraph and inserts the Turkish beneath it inside the original file, rewriting only the chapter documents that received a translation.

How it works

  1. Choose a German 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 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 neither a German compound nor a Turkish suffix chain can 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 whichever language you read better. Read the German paragraph first, every time, and to the end of the clause.

Both languages produce very long words. The styling lets them wrap rather than force the page sideways — which matters more in this pair than in most, because both sides can do it.

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

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

Questions

Which side should I read first?

German first, every paragraph, and all the way to the end of the clause — both languages like to keep the verb until last.

Do long words break the layout?

No. The translated paragraphs are styled to let an over-long word break across lines instead of forcing the page to scroll sideways, which both German compounds and Turkish suffix chains would otherwise do on a phone.

Will it open on a Kindle?

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

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.
