Translify is an AI reading companion for foreign-language books. You upload a PDF or EPUB, Translify rebuilds it in your language with the original layout intact, then lets you chat with the whole book, highlight passages for AI explanations, and quiz yourself on what you read.

How is Translify different from Google Translate or DeepL?

Google Translate and DeepL translate text and return a file. Translify gives you a complete reading experience around the translation: chat with the whole book, AI-explained highlights, quiz mode, and side-by-side bilingual reading. It is a study tool, not a translation utility.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required. Translify also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on every paid plan, with no questions asked.

Which file types and languages does Translify support?

PDF and EPUB up to 200 MB per book. Translify supports 14 target languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Hindi, and Turkish — with correct rendering for right-to-left scripts and CJK characters.

Does the translation keep the book's layout?

Yes. Translify rebuilds every page with the same structure: paragraphs in the same place, images where they were, tables intact, headings preserved. A side-by-side mode lets you switch back to the source at any time.

How accurate are Translify's chat answers?

Every chat answer links back to the exact passage in the source — page number plus a highlighted excerpt. If a faithful citation cannot be found in the book, Translify says so rather than guessing. The underlying model is Anthropic's Claude.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes — one click in account settings. You keep access through the period you have already paid for, and Translify never auto-charges the day after cancellation.

Does Translify train AI models on my uploaded books?

No. Uploaded books are private to your account, encrypted at rest, and never used to train any AI model. You can delete a book and all its derivatives at any time from your library.

Is Translify an Amazon Kindle Translate alternative?

Yes, for any reading outside the Kindle Store or beyond Kindle Translate's three supported language pairs (EN↔ES, DE→EN). Translify works with any PDF or EPUB, in 56 language pairs across 8 languages.

Can I use Translify on my Kindle?

Not on the Kindle device itself, but Translify works in any browser on any device — including the Kindle's experimental browser, though we recommend a phone or tablet for a better reading experience.

Will Amazon's Kindle Translate eventually replace tools like Translify?

Unlikely for the next 2-3 years. Kindle Translate is restricted to Kindle Store catalog and a narrow set of language pairs. Independent reading tools that work with any file in any language pair will remain necessary for serious readers, researchers, and language learners.

Does Translify translate as well as Kindle Translate?

Translify uses Claude (Anthropic) and DeepL — both top-tier engines for European languages, often rated higher than Amazon's translation quality for nuance and long-context coherence.

What's the price difference?

Kindle Translate is bundled (effectively free) on eligible Kindle Store titles. Translify is €11–€27/month. The trade-off is breadth: Translify works with any book, any source, in any of 56 language pairs.
