Novel Translator

Hi HN!! I'm a Chinese Translator, also a developer and I made this to solve my own problems. I got tired of waiting for official translations, so I built a tool that lets you read the original text and get a clean, consistent translation on the fly. I am not a translator by trade and that's probably why I have a different opinion than most translators for using clankers to translate, I have always felt that we should not be limited by language when it comes to wanting to read, this tool is mostly for people who do not want to wait for official translations and have a copy/purchase of…

What it does

Novel Translator is the perfect tool for translating your newest novel from ePUB, PDF or TXT with AI. We support translation for Adult Novels, NSFW Novels, Mature Theme Novels in a huge variety of languages including Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc

Translate your novel or manuscript with AI. Prepare EPUB files, build a glossary, and review a translation draft before you publish.

AI novel translation for authors. Turn your manuscript or EPUB into a translation draft, keep a glossary of names and terms, and review the result before publication. Start with one chapter. AI output needs human review for meaning, voice, and consistency. Novel Translator does not supply books, chapters, scans, or downloads. Upload files you own, wrote, licensed, or have permission to translate. Create drafts for reading, review, study, localization, or personal use. Prepare your source file, choose a model, and give recurring names and terms a consistent reference. Use the result as a draft for editorial review. Work from your own manuscript. Keep a source copy, test a chapter, and review…from noveltranslator.com

    Since I was young, I've loved anime, and over the years, manga has brought me joy, given me courage, and sparked excitement in my heart. However, as I read more, I realized that many of these manga weren't translated at all. I also came across some AI-based translation tools, but the results often fell short. So, I decided to create a tool that allows manga fans to read and enjoy their favorite manga, no matter the language or whether a translation team is available. This product has just been launched, and there are certainly areas that can be improved. However, with time, I'm confident it…

    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…

    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…

  • Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

  • Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

  • Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

  • Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
