AI Book Translate

Recently I launched BookTranslate.ai but at launch there wasn't really anything to see on the site. I should have thought about creating public demos before I launched, but now I added a few, including this one. I ran a blind analysis on the translation with Gemini: https://aistudio.google.com/app/prompts/1ZqeijNulqinp7D7wK1J... This is huge, in my opinion. I don't mean it to brag or sell, I mean it as a matter of fact that no other software can produce this level of quality right now and people thought machine translation will never be capable of this. I'm…

AI Book Translate launched on May 15, 2025 with 8 votes, #2,977 of 7,905 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

Multi-pass AI translation for small authors and indie publishers. Produces fluent, idiomatic, and glossary-accurate results - just one proofread away from publication.

The AI book translator built for literary work: multi-pass translation, whole-book consistency auditing, and an editing Studio. Used by publishers and authors to translate entire books with the voice intact.

Translate your book in hours, not weeks - for a fraction of the cost. Our high-fidelity, multi-pass, self-correcting AI translator produces fluent, idiomatic, glossary-accurate results that are ~98% ready for publication - all they need is a light final proofread. Built by an indie publisher - for creators and publishers who won't compromise on quality. BookTranslate.ai empowers authors, editors, and publishers with affordable, high-quality translation at scale - using a recursive refinement loop that mimics the way human translators work. A $10,000 , months-long black box gamble with a royalty clause , where your work's meaning is at constant risk of being hijacked by a translator's…from booktranslate.ai

    Hey HN, I'm an author and I spent 2+ years writing my first book and getting it published. After my experience, I realized that 99% of all business books follow the same structure. So, with the rise of AI solutions, we asked ourselves if we could simplify the process to help first-time authors achieve their dream of writing and publishing a book. Together with a friend, we created First Book ai. Now, we can create coherent, full-size books in hours, saving first-time authors years in the process. We hope this tool will be helpful for as many upcoming authors as possible. Would love your…

    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…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
