English to Portuguese
Translate an English book into Portuguese, and keep the English
Have an English novel, textbook or e-book you want in Portuguese? Upload it and get it back with Portuguese beside every paragraph, so you can read in Portuguese and check the author's English whenever a sentence reads oddly.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
É uma verdade universalmente reconhecida que um homem solteiro, dono de uma boa fortuna, deve estar precisando de uma esposa.
“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?”
— Meu caro Sr. Bennet — disse-lhe a esposa certo dia —, você soube que Netherfield Park finalmente foi alugada?
How it works
Upload the book, choose Portuguese, 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 Portuguese beside it
Brazilian or European Portuguese
Portuguese is written in two main standards, with different spellings and many different words. Look at the free preview of the opening pages to see which one you get, and whether it is the one you expect, before you translate the whole book.
Reading to learn English
If you are learning English, the parallel layout is the point: Portuguese you read easily on one side, the author's own English beside it, paragraph by paragraph. Many readers move from reading mostly the Portuguese to mostly the English over a few books.
Questions
How do I translate an English book into Portuguese?
Upload the book as an EPUB, PDF, Word, text or HTML file and choose Portuguese. 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 Portuguese?
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 a PDF book from English to Portuguese?
Yes. A PDF with selectable text works best; scans are read with text recognition and the result depends on the scan. The page layout is not copied: the text, headings and chapters come back paragraph by paragraph, with the Portuguese beside the English.
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 Portuguese 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.
