AI book translation, ready to publish

Not a machine translation pasted page by page. Tarjum reads your whole book, learns its author, subject and earlier translations, then translates it chapter by chapter with one glossary and one voice, and hands it back print-ready.

Why the usual translation tools fall short

Paste a chapter into a translator or an AI chat and you get a decent paragraph. Then the real work starts:

Terms driftA term changes from one chapter to the next, and one name is spelled three ways.
Parts go missingFootnotes, tables and equations are lost or broken.
The voice changesThe style turns into translated Arabic instead of Arabic that was written.
The work isn’t doneIn the end you still have to typeset the book and get it ready for the printer.

Tarjum was built for a whole book, not a paragraph.

What Tarjum does with your book

Knows the book before translating itIt prepares a file on the author, the book, its published translations and the words that could trip a translator.
Fixes the termsOne glossary for every name and term, held steady from the first chapter to the last.
Translates in the author’s voiceText that reads as if it was written in Arabic, or in English when the translation goes that way.
Keeps everything in placeFootnotes, tables, equations and figures, with the figures redrawn in the language of the translation.
Hands back a book, not a fileA typeset book, a print-ready PDF, EPUB and Word.

Better than AI alone

In our tests on passages from real books in both directions, Tarjum’s translation read more smoothly than the strongest AI models working alone. The gap grows with the length of the book, because Tarjum remembers what it has translated.

And the last word is yours

Your reviewer, proofreader and author open the book through a private link with no account, and each records a decision in their own name before publication, while your team confirms every sentence in the platform. Translation memory carries your earlier work into each new book.

How review works

Scanned books and PDFs?

Upload the book as it is, as a file or as page photographs. Tarjum reads the Arabic and English text from the images and turns it into editable text before translating.

Questions about AI book translation

Can AI translate a whole PDF book?

Yes. Upload the file as it is, whether it has a text layer or is made of page images, and Tarjum translates all of it with its footnotes and tables, then hands it back print-ready.

How long does it take to translate a book?

A full draft takes hours, not months. Then your team takes the time it needs to review and approve.

Does it translate from Arabic into English too?

Yes, in both directions, with the same glossary and the same translation memory.

How much does it cost?

A free 14-day trial covers the first 10,000 words, no card needed. Then monthly plans or a plan for a single book. Details are on the pricing page.

Who keeps the rights to the translation?

You do. You keep all your rights in the books you upload and in the translations you make, and we do not use your book or its translation to serve any other customer.
