Upload a Polish EPUB and get the first fifteen pages back in English. The same character's name appears in half a dozen different forms across a chapter, and none of them is a different person.
The first 15 pages of text are sent to our server to be translated. The file itself stays on your device.
Polish declines everything, names included. Anna is Anny, Annie, Anną and Anno depending on what she is doing in the sentence, and a translator that matches strings rather than reading language can easily treat two of those as separate characters. Add the diminutives — Ania, Anka, Andzia — and one woman has ten names.
Reading the whole book first is what resolves it. The cast, the name forms and the diminutives are collected before a word is translated, so the English text does not quietly acquire characters who do not exist.
The other constant loss is formality. Polish marks it by switching to a third-person construction; English has one "you" and no equivalent gesture, so the distance has to move into tone — and it has to move there consistently, or the social temperature of the book wanders.
A DRM-free EPUB. The file stays on your device; only the text of the sample is sent.
Names, their case forms and their diminutives are mapped to one person each before anything is translated.
About 4,500 words as a complete EPUB you can download or read here.
Formality flattens. The third-person politeness Polish uses has no English counterpart, so it becomes tone. Where a scene turns on the shift from formal to familiar, English can only approximate it.
Diminutives lose their edge. Polish can express affection, condescension or irony in a suffix. English needs an adjective, which is blunter and longer.
Fifteen pages, not the book. About 4,500 words.
The text is sent to a server and discarded when the job finishes.
Yes — that is a direct consequence of reading the whole book before translating anything. Case forms and diminutives are recorded as belonging to one person, so a chapter does not appear to introduce a stranger who was there all along.
They become English register: how formally the sentence is phrased, whether a title or surname is used. There is no English word that does the same job, and inserting "sir" everywhere would read as pastiche.
Yes. A surname in its feminine form is recognised as the same family name, not as a different one — again, something that falls out of collecting the cast from the whole text first.
About 4,500 words, roughly fifteen pages, five books a day.
