Question 1

Why use TranslationAI instead of ChatGPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT and Claude have no glossary enforcement, no systematic translation strategy, and lose terminology consistency across long documents. TranslationAI uses 8 academic translation frameworks with Register Theory analysis and enforces an AI-extracted glossary across every page — ensuring zero terminology drift from the first chapter to the last.

Question 2

How does TranslationAI maintain terminology consistency across a full book?

Accepted Answer

Before translation begins, AI analyzes your document and extracts a glossary of character names, technical terms, and cultural references. This glossary is then enforced during translation with dual-layer verification (Standard) or triple-layer verification (Premium), ensuring every term appears identically throughout your entire document.

Question 3

What are the 8 academic translation frameworks?

Accepted Answer

Skopos Theory (Vermeer, 1978), Newmark Semantic and Communicative (1988), Venuti Foreignization and Domestication (1995), Nord Functional (1997), House Overt/Covert (1977/1997), and Koller Equivalence (1979). Each framework optimizes translation for a different document type and purpose — from literary voice preservation to technical accuracy.

Question 4

How much does it cost to translate a full novel?

Accepted Answer

A 50,000-word novel costs $2.50 (Budget tier), $5.00 (Standard tier), or $12.50 (Premium tier). Pay-as-you-go or Pro subscription ($19.90/month with 200,000 word credits). Compare this to $4,000–$7,500 for a human translator.

Question 5

What file formats does TranslationAI support?

Accepted Answer

Upload PDF (text-based and scanned with OCR), EPUB (e-books with chapter structure), or TXT/MD (plain text and Markdown) — up to 21 MB per file. Download your completed translation as DOCX, TXT, or MD.
