English to Spanish
Translate an English book into Spanish, and keep the English
Have an English novel, textbook or e-book you want in Spanish? Upload it and get it back with Spanish beside every paragraph, so you can read in Spanish and check the author's English whenever a sentence stops you.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Es una verdad universalmente reconocida que un hombre soltero, dueño de una buena fortuna, necesita una esposa.
“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?”
—Querido señor Bennet —le dijo un día su esposa—, ¿te has enterado de que por fin han alquilado Netherfield Park?
How it works
Upload the book, choose Spanish, 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 Spanish beside it
Spain and Latin America
Spanish differs between regions, in vocabulary and in how you address a reader (vosotros or ustedes). Look at the free preview of the opening pages to see whether the result suits the Spanish you read before translating the whole book.
Cognates, and the traps among them
English and Spanish share thousands of related words, and a few that mislead: embarazada does not mean embarrassed, and actualmente does not mean actually. With both languages on the page you notice them as you read.
Questions
How do I translate an English book into Spanish?
Upload the book as an EPUB, PDF, Word, text or HTML file and choose Spanish. 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 Spanish?
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 Spanish?
Yes, if the file has no DRM. You can also do it with Calibre and a translation plugin, which you set up yourself and which usually needs access to a translation service, and you do not easily get a view with the English beside the Spanish. Here you upload the file and read it beside the original, in the browser or on your e-reader.
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 Spanish 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.
