Upload a German EPUB and get the first fifteen pages back in French. A German compound noun has to become a French phrase, and the same compound has to become the same phrase every time.
The first 15 pages of text are sent to our server to be translated. The file itself stays on your device.
German writes as one word what French writes as a noun, a preposition and another noun. There is usually more than one defensible way to make that expansion, and over a book the choice matters more than any individual instance: unpack the same compound three ways and a recurring concept quietly becomes three unrelated ones, which in a novel is confusing and in an essay is fatal.
The formality transfers without effort — Sie becomes vous — because both languages mark it in the pronoun.
The other constant is length. French needs more words than German for the same content, and it also expects different punctuation: guillemets and dialogue dashes rather than German quotation marks. Both are handled as part of writing French rather than as an afterthought.
A DRM-free EPUB. The file stays on your device; only the text of the sample is sent.
Recurring compounds and terms are collected into a guide, so each gets one French rendering and keeps it.
About 4,500 words as a complete EPUB, punctuated the way a French edition would be.
Compounds become phrases. What was one German word becomes three French ones, so the French is longer and more explicit than the original — unavoidably.
Sentence structure is rebuilt. German can hold a clause open in ways French will not, so some sentences are reorganised rather than mirrored.
Fifteen pages, not the book. About 4,500 words.
The text is sent to a server and discarded when the job finishes.
Yes, and it is the main reason the model reads the whole book before translating anything. Recurring compounds go into a guide, so a concept named once keeps that name across the sample instead of being re-invented on each appearance.
Yes, directly — both languages mark formality in the pronoun, so it is read from the source rather than inferred.
Yes: guillemets and dialogue dashes, with a non-breaking space before the doubled punctuation marks. A French book set with German quotation marks reads as untranslated.
About 4,500 words, roughly fifteen pages, five books a day.
