Bilingual Book Maker
This project is an AI-powered bilingual book generator that translates EPUB, TXT, and SRT files into side-by-side bilingual editions while preserving the original formatting and structure. It functions as a translation workflow manager, orchestrating the process from file input to bilingual output with support for customizable prompts and resumable pipelines.
The tool distinguishes itself through its multi-model AI backend abstraction, allowing users to select from various AI models to balance translation cost and quality for book content. It includes a resumable translation pipeline that saves progress to checkpoint files, enabling continuation after interruptions without restarting. The system also offers template-based prompt customization, where editable system and user role templates control the AI model's translation style and behavior for each request.
The tool supports translation of EPUB, TXT, and SRT files, preserving the original format through careful parsing of internal XML structures for EPUB files. It provides a containerized execution environment via Docker, packaging the tool and its dependencies for consistent, environment-agnostic operation. The project is implemented in Python and is available as a command-line tool.
Features
- Bilingual Ebook Generators - Translates epub, txt, and srt files into bilingual editions using AI models while preserving original formatting.
- AI-Powered Translations - Translates book content by sending text segments to an AI model and inserting translations alongside the original.
- Bilingual Book Generators - Creates EPUB books with side-by-side original and translated text using AI models for language learners.
- EPUB and Subtitle Translation - Translates epub, txt, and srt files into bilingual versions while preserving the original format using a chosen AI model.
- Bilingual EPUB Generators - Reads and writes epub files by parsing internal XML, translating text nodes, and reassembling the archive without breaking formatting.
- EPUB Translation Pipelines - Translates ebook content into another language while preserving the original formatting and structure.
- Translation Workflow Orchestrators - Orchestrates book translation from file input to bilingual output with customizable prompts and resume support.
- Model Selection Policies - Chooses from multiple AI models with different cost and quality profiles to perform the translation.
- Translation Job Resumers - Continues a translation from where it stopped after an interruption to avoid restarting the entire process.
- Multi-Model AI Interfaces - Selects among various AI models to balance translation cost and quality for book content.
- Resumable - Saves translation progress to a checkpoint file, allowing continuation from the last completed segment after interruption.
- AI Backend Abstractions - Provides a unified interface to switch between different AI translation models with varying cost and quality.
- Automated Translation Workflows - Runs batch translations of book files with support for resuming interrupted jobs and customizing AI prompts.
