24 alternatives to Help SourceLibrary.org Translate the Renaissance

SourceLibrary.org is currently the world’s largest online library of translated ancient sources. It contains over 15,000 books translated from dozens of languages (Latin, Greek, Chinese, Sanskrit, Arabic, Hebrew, Egyptian, etc)—from sacred texts to early science. Our vision is to make ancient wisdom accessible to both people and AI. Did you know that less than 3% of the Latin Renaissance has ever been translated into English? This is ironic, because translations of ancient Greek wisdom texts are historically credited with helping to ignite the Renaissance. Yet, the Renaissance itself was…

    Built an auditable AI (Bible) translation pipeline: Hebrew/Greek source packets -> verse JSON with notes rolling up to chapters, books, and testaments. Final texts compiled with metrics (TTR, n-grams). This is the first full-text example as far as I know (Gen Z bible doesn't count). There are hallucinations and issues, but the overall quality surprised me. LLMs have a lot of promise translating and rendering 'accessible' more ancient texts. The technology has a lot of benefit for the faithful, that I think is only beginning to be explored.

    I'm a multilingual reader (Catalan/Spanish/English/Italian), and I kept hitting the same wall: I'd hear about a book and have no way to know if it existed in my language. Turns out this is a genuinely unsolved problem. There's no single database that tracks which books have been translated into which languages. ISBN registries are fragmented by country. Open Library has great English coverage but gaps elsewhere. Wikidata has surprisingly rich translation data but it's locked behind SPARQL. Google Books is inconsistent across regions. So I built Zenòdot to cross all four and…

    Hi HN! I built *BookTranslator.app* (https://www.booktranslator.app/) initially to help myself read English books in my native language. Later on as I shared on twitter, more and more people were finding it useful. So I thought it might also be helpful to share it here. You can drag-and-drop an *EPUB or PDF (≤ 50 MB)*, pick one of *76 target languages*, and ~60 seconds later you get a layout-preserving translation plus a side-by-side bilingual reader. The whole pipeline runs on the gpt-4o API with a bit of prompt-engineering to keep chapter structure, images and footnotes…
