Lean Publishing Tip of the Day: Use TranslateAI to Reach New Audiences
As Arthur C. Clarke once said, “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” and TranslateAI certainly seems that way.
If you’ve written a non-fiction book on Leanpub, we highly recommend you consider our TranslateAI service.

How Does TranslateAI Work?
With the click of a button, you can set in motion a process that can translate your manuscript into up to 31 languages.
And with that same click of the button, you’ll get your book published in up to 31 languages on Leanpub, each on their own unique, dedicated landing page in the book’s language.
If you’d like to learn more about the underlying technology, watch Len Epp talking about it during a Book Industry Study Group webinar here.
How Good Are the Translations?
We’ve heard various reports from readers, and adapted TranslateAI over time in response to feedback.
Our general claim is that for straightforward non-fiction books, the quality is good enough that you would prefer to read the translation in your own first language, than to read the book in the original language, if the original language is your second language.
How Much Does TranslateAI cost?
Here is our current pricing:
“When you buy a TranslateAI translation into 1 language for just $249, we give you TranslateAI translations into 2 additional languages for free!. TranslateAI is only $249 for 1-3 languages, $499 for 4-6 languages, $749 for 7-9 languages, $999 for 10-12 languages, and so on. Also, if you choose to translate into all 31 supported languages, we only charge you $2499 – we include the 31st language for free as well.”

Should I Get TranslateAI for My Book?
This is a bit of a difficult question for us to answer, because TranslateAI really is such a revolutionary development in the history of book publishing.
Our instinctive answer is: of course!!!
Getting your book translated into other languages expands your reach to readers who will otherwise never be able to read your book.
So, if you can afford to make it part of the budget for your book project, we definitely recommend it.
Think of all the hours you put into writing your manuscript - and now imagine multiplying that effort by dozens of languages.
