ONE BOOK, NEW LANGUAGES

Translate a book without losing terminology or narrative intent

Keep names, recurring terms, tone and chapter context connected across a complete literary translation project.

Who should use the translation studio?

Authors and publishers with translation rights can create a working edition, then bring in a literary translator or translation editor for professional review.

What you can take forward

01

Translation brief

Audience, language pair, tone and protected terms.

02

Term memory

Consistent names, places and recurring expressions.

03

A translation needs editorial judgement

Automated output is a draft, not a certification of literary quality. Review cultural context, rights, meaning and natural expression before publication.

HOW TO TRANSLATE A BOOK

Take a book into new languages while preserving terminology, voice and chapter context

The Translation Studio processes the source in chapters and builds shared memory for names, world terms and voice decisions. Develop an automated working draft, then refine it with a literary translator or translation editor.

Prepare before you begin

  • ✓ Final source text and translation rights
  • ✓ Source language, target language, country and audience
  • ✓ Protected names, terminology, quotations and formatting
  • ✓ Representative passages that demonstrate the author's voice
