Upload a Spanish EPUB and get the first fifteen pages back in English. The hard part of this direction is not vocabulary — it is that Spanish encodes things English has no slot for, and someone has to decide where that information goes.
The first 15 pages of text are sent to our server to be translated. The file itself stays on your device.
Spanish tells you, in the verb ending of every sentence, exactly how formal the speaker is being. English does not have that dial. When a character switches from usted to tú mid-conversation — a real moment in a Spanish novel, sometimes the whole point of the scene — an English translation has to carry it in word choice and rhythm instead, or lose it entirely.
Names are the other trap. Spanish books are full of diminutives: Francisco becomes Paco, José becomes Pepe, Concepción becomes Conchita. To a reader who does not know the convention, those look like four different people. The guide written from the whole book maps them to one person before the translating starts.
The mechanical consequence: English comes out noticeably shorter than the Spanish it came from, usually by 15–20%.
A DRM-free EPUB. The file stays on your device; only the text of the sample is sent.
Every name, nickname and diminutive is collected first, so Paco and Francisco are recognised as one man.
About 4,500 words of the Spanish, as a complete EPUB you can download or read here.
Formality gets flattened. English has no usted. A good translation carries it in tone; no translation carries all of it. If the usted/tú switch is the point of a scene, read the Spanish too.
Fifteen pages, not the book. About 4,500 words, counted in words.
The text is sent to a server and discarded when the job finishes. The EPUB file itself never leaves your device.
Yes, and that is one of the reasons it reads the entire book before translating anything. Paco/Francisco, Pepe/José, Charo/Rosario — the guide records them as one person, so the English does not silently introduce a new character.
It becomes tone rather than grammar: sentence length, word choice, how a line is addressed. That is what a human translator does too. It is an approximation, and the page says so rather than pretending otherwise.
Yes. The variety of the source does not change how it is read — what matters is that vosotros forms, regional vocabulary and local idioms are recognised, and reading the whole book first is what makes that reliable.
About 4,500 words, roughly fifteen pages, five books a day. The English version will look shorter on the page than the Spanish did, because English is a more compact language.
