Upload an English EPUB and get the first fifteen pages back in Urdu. English has one word for "you"; Urdu has three, and each one places the speaker and the listener in a different relation.
The first 15 pages of text are sent to our server to be translated. The file itself stays on your device.
Tū, tum and āp are not degrees of politeness on a dial — they are three different claims about who these two people are to each other. English marks none of it, so every line of dialogue needs a decision that the English sentence does not contain, and a translator working paragraph by paragraph makes it afresh each time. The result is a character who addresses their elder as an intimate on one page and as a stranger on the next.
Reading the whole book first is what settles it. The cast, the relationships, the recurring terms and the names go into a guide before any translating begins, and the sample is written against that guide.
The mechanical half is the direction of the text, and it is written into the file rather than left to chance — without it an Urdu paragraph aligns to the wrong edge and its punctuation lands on the wrong side, even though the letters themselves are in the right order.
A DRM-free EPUB. The file stays on your device; only the text of the sample is sent.
The cast and their relationships are mapped once, which is what fixes the tū/tum/āp choice for the whole sample.
About 4,500 words, translated as continuous prose rather than sentence by sentence.
A complete EPUB with dir="rtl" written onto the translated text, so it aligns and punctuates correctly.
Your reader will probably set it in Naskh, not Nastaliq. Urdu is traditionally typeset in Nastaliq, and most e-readers do not ship a Nastaliq face — so the text is correct and legible but does not look the way an Urdu book looks. That is the reader's font, not the file.
Address is inferred, not given. The English never stated it. The guide makes the inference consistent; it cannot make it authoritative.
Fifteen pages, not the book, and the text is sent to a server and discarded when the job ends.
Yes. The translated text carries an explicit direction attribute and an Urdu language tag, so a reader aligns it to the right edge and puts the punctuation where it belongs — which is what text relying on Unicode ordering alone gets wrong.
That depends on your reader, not on the file. Most e-readers substitute a Naskh face because they do not carry a Nastaliq one; the text is correct either way, but it will not look like a printed Urdu book unless your device has a Nastaliq font installed.
From the relationships mapped across the whole book, then held for the whole sample. This is the single clearest reason to read the entire text first: a paragraph alone does not tell you whether the speaker is addressing a child, a friend or an elder.
About 4,500 words, roughly fifteen pages, five books a day per person.
