EPUB translator

EPUB in, EPUB out

An ebook translator that treats the file as a book, not as a wall of text. Your EPUB is split along its own chapters, translated with context carried between them, and rebuilt as an EPUB you can read here or open anywhere else.

What the file goes through

The EPUB survives the round trip

A translated ebook is only useful if it is still an ebook afterwards. Chapters, order and divisions come back the way they went in.

Parsed by chapter

The file is split along the boundaries the book itself declares, so a chapter is translated as a chapter rather than as an arbitrary block of characters.

Translated in context

Each chapter carries the surrounding chapters with it, which is what keeps a name spelled one way and a recurring term translated one way.

Rebuilt as an EPUB

You get a bilingual EPUB and a translation-only EPUB from the same run. Audio, if you want it, comes out as MP3 or M4B.

About the file

Questions about EPUB and ebook files

Formats, structure and what you get back

Something else?

Which ebook formats can I upload?

EPUB. It is the format that carries real chapter structure, which is what makes a whole-book translation possible in the first place. We do not accept PDF or Word.

What format do I get back?

EPUB — a bilingual edition and a translation-only edition, both from the same run. If you generate audio it comes out as MP3 or M4B.

Does the chapter structure survive?

Yes. The book is split along the boundaries it declares itself and rebuilt the same way, so chapter order and divisions come back intact.

Which languages can an EPUB be translated into?

English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese and Korean — in any direction. We add pairs once we have validated quality for them.

Can I read the result outside DualBook?

Yes. The exported EPUB is an ordinary EPUB. The in-app reader adds dictionary lookups, highlights and a synced position, but the file stands on its own.
