Translate. Format. Publish. Globalize.

Expert Translation Details

Our core strength lies in high-quality, human-powered translation that respects the author's original voice and intent. We don't rely solely on machine translation.

Process:

• Translator Selection: We match your book's genre (sci-fi, fantasy, romance, thriller, non-fiction, etc.) with native-speaking translators who have proven experience in literary translation for that genre.
• Initial Translation: The selected translator carefully translates the manuscript, focusing on capturing not just the words, but the tone, style, and cultural nuances.
• Editing & Proofreading: A second linguist, also a native speaker, edits and proofreads the translation for accuracy, fluency, grammar, and consistency. This ensures a polished final text.
• Glossary & Style Guide (Optional): For series or complex worlds, we can develop glossaries and style guides to maintain consistency across multiple books or languages.
• Author Feedback Loop (Optional): Depending on the package, we can incorporate stages for author review or clarification on specific passages.

We understand that nuance is key in fiction and compelling non-fiction. Our goal is to produce a translated version that reads naturally and engages readers in the target language as effectively as the original.

Professional Layout Details

A professionally formatted book enhances the reader's experience and signals quality. We create clean, readable, and platform-compliant files for both digital and print editions.

Ebook Formatting (Kindle):

• Reflowable Layout: We create dynamic .epub or .mobi files that adapt to different screen sizes and user font settings on Kindle devices and apps.
• Clickable Table of Contents: Easy navigation is crucial for ebooks.
• Optimized Images: Ensuring images display correctly and don't inflate file size unnecessarily.
• Clean Code: Validated markup for compatibility and future-proofing.
• Metadata Inclusion: Embedding essential book information.

Print Formatting (KDP Paperback):

• Typesetting: Careful attention to fonts, margins, line spacing, justification, and hyphenation for optimal readability in print.
• Page Numbering & Headers/Footers: Professional placement of page numbers, book titles, and author names.
• Chapter Starts: Consistent and aesthetically pleasing chapter headings and drop caps (if desired).
• Print-Ready PDF: Delivering a high-resolution PDF file perfectly sized and prepared according to KDP's specifications, including bleed and trim marks if required by the cover design.

We ensure your translated book looks just as professional as the original, regardless of the format.

Market-Ready Cover Details

Your cover is often the first impression. We adapt your existing cover or create variations suitable for each target market.

Cover Adaptation Process:

• Text Replacement: Professionally replacing the English title, author name, and any taglines with their translated equivalents, ensuring font choices and placement match the original design's aesthetic or are adjusted for readability in the new language.
• Cultural Sensitivity Review: Assessing if the existing imagery might be misinterpreted or less effective in the target culture. Minor adjustments might be suggested.
• Format Creation: Generating correctly sized and formatted cover files for both KDP Ebook (JPEG) and KDP Print (PDF with spine calculation based on final page count).
• Typography Considerations: Selecting appropriate fonts that support the target language's characters and feel natural within the genre conventions of that market.

Optional Full Redesign:

In some cases, especially if the original cover relies heavily on culturally specific imagery or tropes, a more significant redesign might be beneficial. We can offer full cover design services tailored to specific international markets as an additional option, focusing on genre conventions and visual appeal for local readers.

Our goal is a cover that looks professional, is culturally appropriate, and effectively attracts readers browsing Amazon in their native language.
