A bilingual PDF you can actually read
A text-heavy PDF becomes a calmer bilingual document.
Rather than squeeze a translation into fixed page geometry, BilingualText rebuilds the readable structure so the source and translation stay together at a comfortable pace.

From your library to bilingual reading
How it Works
Skip the copy-paste loop. Sign in, add an EPUB or text-based PDF from your dashboard, review the estimate, and return for a finished bilingual file.
Add an EPUB or PDF
Upload a standard EPUB or a text-based PDF from the dashboard. PDFs are rebuilt into a reading layout rather than copied page-for-page.
Choose languages and review the scope
Select the source and target languages, then review the reading scope and credit estimate before full translation.
Read and download the finished file
Keep the original and translation together in a downloadable bilingual EPUB or PDF built for your reading workflow.
Bilingual reading, built around the file
Turn an EPUB or text-based PDF into a reading copy, not a pasted-text dump.
BilingualText keeps the source and translation together for readers who want to move through books, reports, and study material without losing their place.

Questions before you begin
Frequently Asked Questions
BilingualText is for people who want a clear preview, transparent credit estimate, and a bilingual EPUB or PDF they can download for reading or study.
How accurate is the translation?
BilingualText translates with book context in mind, so paragraphs stay readable across a chapter instead of feeling like isolated snippets. Literary nuance, idioms, and specialized terms should still be reviewed by the reader.
Which file formats and document types are supported?
You can add standard .epub files and text-based PDFs up to 50MB from your dashboard. BilingualText works best with reflowable EPUBs and text-heavy PDFs with selectable text, including novels, essays, reports, contracts, and academic material. Image-only scans are not supported yet.
How are uploaded files handled?
Uploaded EPUBs and PDFs are used only to prepare your translation and downloadable bilingual edition. Source files, previews, and completed files are retained for up to 14 days, then permanently deleted. Please download completed work promptly and add only material you have the right to process.

Hands-on file help
Need a larger book handled carefully?
For oversized EPUBs, text-heavy PDFs, unusual language pairs, or files that need a closer pass, send the file details first. I will confirm the scope and price before work starts, then return a clean bilingual reading copy when it is ready.
Custom work is arranged directly. Please only submit files you have the right to process.
Credits stay on your account and can be used whenever you are ready to translate another EPUB or text-based PDF.
