Translate an EPUB book into Spanish, chapters and cover kept
Upload a DRM-free EPUB and get it back in Spanish as an EPUB: every chapter translated in reading order, the title and table of contents in Spanish, the cover, images and styles unchanged. Download a bilingual English and Spanish edition too. The first part is free without an account; a book of up to about 160,000 words is $5, paid once.
- Italics, scene breaks and footnote links kept in place
- Formal or informal address in dialogue, or follow the original
- Book title, chapter titles and table of contents translated
- Bilingual EPUB: English paragraph, then Spanish
- Book language set to Spanish so e-readers use the right dictionary
Whole books, not chapters
A 90,000-word novel is far longer than one chat reply. Translated piece by piece, it loses consistency and you still have to put the text back into an EPUB yourself. This tool opens the EPUB, translates every paragraph of every chapter in order, and writes the Spanish text back into the same files. Chapter breaks, italics, scene breaks and footnote links stay where they were.
The book's language is set to Spanish inside the EPUB, so e-readers offer the Spanish dictionary and hyphenation. The cover image is copied as it is; if the title is printed on the cover picture, it stays in the original language.
For authors, teachers and learners
Self-published authors use it to prepare a Spanish edition for review by an editor. Teachers and learners use the bilingual EPUB, where each paragraph is followed by its Spanish translation in a slightly lighter color, to read a book in both languages at once.
Set the tone before you start: formal for older or literary texts, informal for contemporary dialogue, or "Like the original" to let the text decide. Character names, place names and invented words go in the glossary or the "Never translate" list.

Questions and answers
Latin American or Castilian Spanish?
Neutral Spanish by default. Add regional words to the glossary if your readers expect them, for example "car = carro" or "car = coche".
Will the cover be translated?
The cover is an image and stays as it is. The book title in the EPUB's information and table of contents is translated.
What does a full novel cost?
$5, paid once, for up to about 160,000 words, with both the Spanish and the bilingual EPUB.
Can I edit before downloading?
Yes. Every paragraph is shown next to the original, chapter by chapter, and edits go into both downloads.
