A real example
One passage, as our English → Japanese translation produced it
The telephone is modern enough. But in our use of it is there not a flavour as of an Elder Time, to be caught by Them of Many Years from Now? And already we may catch this flavour, as our Britain great-great-lady grandmothers, and more, may have been conscious of the old fashion of sitting in bowers. If only they were conscious like that! To be sure of it would be to touch their hands in the margins of the ballad books.
電話というものは、これ以上ないほど現代的です。けれども、私たちのその使い方には、いにしえの時代の趣が漂っているのではないでしょうか——今から幾年も後の人々が感じ取ることのできるような趣が。そして私たちはすでに、この趣を感じ取ることができるのです。ちょうど、私たちのイギリスの曾々祖母の貴婦人たち、そしてさらにその先の人たちが、緑蔭に座るという古い流儀を意識していたかもしれないように。ああ、もしもあんなふうに意識していられたら!それを確かめられるとしたら、バラッドの本の余白で、彼女たちの手に触れることができるでしょうに。
From Zona Gale, Friendship Village (1908), a public-domain book from our quality tests. Unedited.

Questions
How much does it cost to translate a book from English to Japanese?
US$0.116 per 1,000 words of text we translate, with a minimum of US$2.99 a book. A typical 90,000-word book costs US$10.50. You see the exact price, and what will and won't be translated, before you pay.
What do I get?
Two EPUB files: a bilingual edition with each English paragraph followed by its Japanese translation, and a Japanese-only edition. Chapters, images, links and the table of contents are kept.
How good is the translation?
It is a machine translation by a large language model, checked automatically paragraph by paragraph. This pair is in beta: tested on whole books, with real orders still calibrating it. Read a free sample chapter of your own book before you decide — and anything left untranslated is refunded automatically.
Which books can I translate?
Books you have the right to translate: your own work, a work you hold a translation licence for, a work under an open licence, or one in the public domain. DRM-protected files are refused. Buying an ebook does not by itself give you the right to translate it.
Can I publish the translation?
If you hold the rights, yes — but you must not present it as a human translation, and you are responsible for any rules about labelling AI-translated content where you publish (some stores, such as Amazon KDP, ask you to declare it).
