Show HN: I built a tool to translate Chinese, Japanese, & Korean Novels

https://noveltranslator.com
1•yamii•2h ago
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 the ebook in its original language.

How it works

1) Upload your own EPUB/TXT you have access to

2) Batch translate chapters with glossary support so names/terms stay consistent

3) Wait for the completion email and then download the completed translation for your personal use.

Works well for fiction, but also handles non-fiction books, I am working with a team and other translators to constantly improve the output.

Happy to share details: architecture, how I keep terms consistent, formatting fixes for EPUB, limits, pricing, and what’s next (IOS app + better batch flows). If you hit an edge case, send me a DM and I’ll reproduce and fix right away.

Arigathanks :)
