Independent authors
Prepare a foreign-language working edition while keeping character and series terms under control.
Author workflow
Give authors control before the full translation runs
Author mode is for manuscripts where names, world-building, tone and terminology matter. Review the extracted book profile and guidance before committing the full translation.
- Glossary review before full run
- World-building notes supported
- Style guidance carried into translation
For books that need editorial control
Translators and editors
Create a structured draft that can be reviewed, revised and improved by humans.
Series owners
Keep recurring concepts and invented terms aligned across longer works.
What Author mode adds
Review the book profile
Inspect the pipeline's understanding of genre, world-building and translation constraints.
Adjust names and terms
Review extracted terminology before it is used in the full translation.
Send style notes into the run
Add translation guidance so tone and editorial preferences travel with the full book.
Controls authors usually ask for
Name handling
Decide how character names, honorifics or invented terms should appear.
Series vocabulary
Keep world-specific language consistent in long works and sequels.
Style direction
Guide the translation toward a natural reader-facing style.
Paid before costly steps
Author mode unlocks the workshop after payment, protecting the higher-cost preparation tasks.
Author mode questions
Is Author mode required?
No. Reader mode is the default for straightforward whole-book translation. Author mode is for extra control before the full run.
Why does Author mode cost more?
It adds reviewable preparation steps, including glossary, book profile and translation guidance work before the full translation.
Can I skip a preparation step?
Yes. The workflow is designed so authors can use the controls that matter and skip the rest.
Translate with the book's rules in view
Use Author mode when names, invented terms and style choices should be checked before the full edition is produced.
