A real example
One passage, as our Simplified Chinese → English translation produced it
「像这样的奇书，不应该一口气就把它念完，要留著细细儿的咀嚼才好。一下子就念完了之后，我的热望也就不得不消灭，那时候我就没有好望，没有梦想了，怎么使得呢？」
"A marvelous book like this should not be finished off in one breath; it ought to be saved to be chewed over slowly and carefully. Once I finish it all at once, my eager anticipation will inevitably die away, and then I shall have nothing to hope for, nothing left to dream of—how could I bear that?"
From 郁达夫《沉沦》(1921), a public-domain book from our quality tests. Unedited.

Questions
How much does it cost to translate a book from Simplified Chinese to English?
US$0.069 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$6.30. 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 Simplified Chinese paragraph followed by its English translation, and a English-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).
