A real sample, unedited

A Madman's Diary (狂人日記) — Lu Xun · From the first two sections · Chinese → English · unedited output

今天晚上,很好的月光。

Tonight, the moonlight is very fine.

我不見他,已是三十多年;今天見了,精神分外爽快。纔知道以前的三十多年,全是發昏;然而須十分小心。不然,那趙家的狗,何以看我兩眼呢?

I had not seen him for more than thirty years; seeing him today, I felt exceptionally refreshed. Only then did I realize that all those previous thirty years had been spent in a daze. Yet I must be extremely careful. Otherwise, why would that dog of the Zhao family look at me twice?

我怕得有理。

I have every reason to be afraid.

我可不怕,仍舊走我的路。前面一夥小孩子,也在那里議論我;眼色也同趙貴翁一樣,臉色也都鐵靑。我想我同小孩子有什麽讎,他也這樣。忍不住大聲說:『你吿訴我!』他們可就跑了。

But I was not afraid, and continued on my way. A group of children ahead were also discussing me; their looks were the same as Old Mr. Zhao’s, and all their faces were iron-blue. I wondered what grudge I had with the children that they should act this way too. Unable to restrain myself, I shouted, “Tell me!” But they ran away.

What the translation reads like

  • This 1918 story, printed in traditional characters, comes out as plain modern English that stays close to each sentence.
  • Names are written in pinyin and keep a form of address that fits them, such as Old Mr. Zhao for 趙貴翁. The glossary pass fixes each name once, so it reads the same in every chapter.
  • Chinese quotation brackets 『』 become ordinary English quotation marks.
  • Short lines stay short. The English follows the rhythm of the original, so you can check each line against the Chinese above it.

See it before you try it

Pride and Prejudice — Jane Austen · Chapters 1–2, sample · English → Simplified Chinese

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

凡是有钱的单身汉,总想娶位太太,这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

尽管这样的男人第一次来到一个地区时,他的感情或看法如何,人们知道得很少,但这条真理在邻近的各个家庭中却是如此根深蒂固,以致于他被视为他们某个女儿理所当然的财产。

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?”

“亲爱的班纳特先生,”他的太太有一天对他说,“你听说尼日斐花园终于出租了吗?”

Built for whole books

Names stay themselves

Before translating, we read through your book and build a glossary of people, places and special terms. Every request carries it, so “Mr. Darcy” is the same person on page 3 and page 300, and you can edit the glossary yourself.

Questions, answered

How are Chinese names translated?

Names are written in pinyin, and titles or family terms are put into English, such as Old Mr. Zhao or my elder brother. Before translating, the AI reads the book and makes a glossary, so every name is written the same way in every chapter. You can review and edit the glossary too.

Does it work with simplified and traditional Chinese?

Yes. Both work, and you do not need to tell us which one the book uses. The sample above is printed in traditional characters.

Can I translate web novels with this?

You can translate any ePub file you have the right to use, such as your own writing, books you bought without DRM, or public domain classics. We do not provide books, and files with DRM cannot be opened.

Can I change the style of the English?

Yes. Write an instruction such as “keep the English close to the Chinese” in the optional Translation style box in your account settings before you upload.
