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.

Does Translify support flashcards like Readlang?

Flashcards are on the roadmap (Q3 2026). For now, Translify's quiz mode generates multiple-choice questions from the chapters you've actually read, with citations to the exact passage — a different study mechanism aimed at comprehension over vocabulary.

Can I import my Kindle library into Translify like I can in Readlang?

Not directly. You can upload any EPUB file (including DRM-free Kindle exports) up to 200 MB. We don't currently sync with your Amazon Kindle account.

How does Translify pricing compare to Readlang's $5/month?

Translify's Reader plan is €11/month — more than double Readlang's Premium. The trade-off: Translify includes whole-book AI chat, AI-explained highlights, quiz generation, and full layout preservation. If you only need word-level translation, Readlang is cheaper. If you need a study companion, Translify is purpose-built for it.

Which is better for university students?

Translify, for most cases. University reading involves dense PDFs (papers, textbooks) where layout matters and where 'what does this argument actually mean' questions are more useful than 'what does this word mean' lookups.

Can I try Translify before paying?

Yes — every plan starts with a 14-day trial, no card required. Every paid plan also includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.

Choose Readlang if…

• You're a casual language learner who wants to read web articles or Kindle books, not study PDFs in depth.
• Spaced-repetition flashcards are your primary learning mechanism.
• You want the cheapest possible option ($5/mo) and don't need AI chat or quizzes.
• You read primarily in your browser, not from uploaded files.

Choose Translify if…

• You read serious foreign-language material — university texts, business non-fiction, technical papers — and need to understand it, not just decode words.
• Layout matters: tables, figures, footnotes, equations. Readlang reflows; Translify preserves.
• You want to chat with the whole book — ask 'what's the author's argument about X' and get a cited answer from across the text.
• You want AI to explain a passage in your language, not just translate words.
• Self-tests via quizzes are part of how you study.
