How to Translate Your First Book
Step-by-step guide to signing up, uploading pages, choosing a language, and downloading your translated book.
Create Your Account
Head to translayer.app and click Get Started. Sign in with your Google account — no separate password needed. You’ll land on your dashboard immediately with 10 free pages to try.
Upload Your Pages
Go to /dashboard/translate and drag your page images into the upload area. Translayer accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP files. You can upload a single page or an entire book at once.
Tips for best results:
- Use clean, high-resolution scans (300 DPI or higher)
- Keep pages in reading order — Translayer uses neighboring pages for context
- Remove blank or separator pages to save credits
Choose Source and Target Languages
Select the language your pages are currently in and the language you want them translated to. Translayer supports 100+ languages, including Japanese, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, and all major European languages.
If you’re unsure about the source language, leave it on Auto-detect and the AI will figure it out.
Pick Your Translation Mode
Choose from three modes depending on your needs:
- Fast — quickest turnaround, good for previews and drafts
- Standard — balanced quality and speed, recommended for most projects
- Advanced — highest accuracy with extra refinement passes
Each mode uses a different number of credits per page. See How Credits Work for details.
Start the Translation
Click Translate and watch the progress in real time. Translayer streams results page by page, so you can preview early pages while the rest are still processing. Most pages complete in under 30 seconds.
Download Your Results
Once translation finishes, you have two options:
- Individual pages — click any page to download it separately
- Download ZIP — grab all translated pages in one file
Your files are available in your dashboard for the retention period included with your plan. After that, they’re automatically deleted for privacy.
What’s Next
- Try different resolution options to match your output needs
- Use custom prompts to guide terminology and tone
