A real example

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

Japanese · original

昼飯を食ってから早速清へ手紙をかいてやった。おれは文章がまずい上に字を知らないから手紙を書くのが大嫌いだ。またやる所もない。しかし清は心配しているだろう。難船して死にやしないかなどと思っちゃ困るから、奮発して長いのを書いてやった。その文句はこうである。

Simplified Chinese · translation

吃过午饭,我马上就给清写了封信。我文章写得差,又不识几个字,所以最讨厌写信。再说也没什么好写的。不过清一定在担心吧。要是她想着我会不会遇险翻船死了,那可不行,于是鼓起劲写了一封长的。信的内容是这样的。

From 夏目漱石『坊っちゃん』(1906), a public-domain book from our quality tests. Unedited.

Questions

How much does it cost to translate a book from Japanese to Simplified Chinese?

US$0.053 per 1,000 characters of text we translate, with a minimum of US$2.99 a book. A typical 90,000-character book costs US$4.80. 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 Japanese 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).
