A real example

One passage, as our English → Simplified Chinese translation produced it

English · original

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.

Simplified Chinese · translation

电话这东西是够现代的了。可在我们对它的使用之中,难道没有一种往昔岁月的风味,等着许多年后的人们来领略吗?而这种风味我们现在就已能领略到了,正如我们英国的那些曾曾祖母们,乃至更早的先人,或许也曾意识到坐在凉亭里的旧日风尚。但愿她们果真那样意识到过!若能确知这一点,便等于在民谣集的页边触到了她们的双手。

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 Simplified Chinese?

US$0.086 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$7.80. 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 Simplified Chinese translation, and a Simplified Chinese-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).
