English to Indonesian
Translate an English book into Indonesian, and keep the English
Have an English novel, textbook or e-book you would like to read in Indonesian? Upload it and get it back with Indonesian beside every paragraph. Read the Indonesian, and look at the English when a sentence is unclear or you want to learn how it was put.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Sudah menjadi kebenaran yang diakui semua orang bahwa seorang pria lajang yang memiliki kekayaan besar pasti membutuhkan seorang istri.
“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?”
“Mr. Bennet yang terkasih,” kata istrinya kepadanya suatu hari, “sudahkah kau dengar bahwa Netherfield Park akhirnya disewa orang?”
How it works
Upload the book, choose Indonesian, and look at the free preview of the opening pages, side by side. If it reads well, translate the whole book and read it in the browser, or download it as a PDF, an EPUB, or a Kindle file. More about translating a book.
Reading English with Indonesian beside it
How English tenses come across
Indonesian does not change the verb for tense the way English does; it uses time words and markers such as sudah and akan. With the English paragraph beside the Indonesian one you can see exactly how a past perfect or a conditional was carried over, which is useful if you are learning English.
Written and spoken Indonesian
Book translations lean towards the standard written language. Dialogue in a novel may read more formally than people speak, so judge the free preview of the opening pages before you translate the whole book.
Questions
How do I translate an English book into Indonesian?
Upload the book as an EPUB, PDF, Word, text or HTML file and choose Indonesian. You see the opening pages translated for free; then translate the whole book and read it in the browser or download it. A free account starts with 50 pages.
What does it cost to translate a whole book into Indonesian?
The preview is free and needs no card. 50 pages free, then from $5 a month. A 200-page book: $3, in one piece.
Can I translate an English EPUB to Indonesian?
Yes, if the file has no DRM. An EPUB from Project Gutenberg or Standard Ebooks, or one you made yourself, works. Books bought from Kindle, Kobo or Apple Books are usually locked to the shop's app and cannot be opened.
Which files can I upload, and where do I get English books?
Any DRM-free file: an EPUB, a PDF, a Word document, a text file or an HTML page. Ebooks locked to a shop's app (most Kindle, Kobo and Apple Books purchases) cannot be opened. Public-domain English classics are free to download from Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks and Wikisource.
Is the Indonesian translation accurate?
It is made by machine: good for following a book and understanding it, not a polished literary translation. That is why the English stays beside it, so you can check any sentence against the author's own words.
What do I get at the end?
You read the book in the browser with both languages paragraph by paragraph, or download it as a PDF or EPUB, or as AZW3 or MOBI for Kindle. The translation is for your own reading; publishing one needs the rights to the book.
