US EditionAmazon Launches an AI-Powered Kindle Translate Service for Ebook Authors
Kindle Translate offers automatic book translations between English, Spanish, and German, aiming to increase multilingual availability beyond the current 5% of titles.
- On Thursday, Amazon announced the launch of Kindle Translate, an AI tool helping authors on the Kindle Direct Publishing portal reach wider audiences.
- Amazon data shows under 5% of titles on Amazon are multilingual, and major literary translations often take years, delaying access to authors like Japanese author Haruki Murakami.
- Initially, the service translates English and Spanish and German to English in beta, allowing authors who self-publish to preview and manage translations via the Kindle Direct Publishing portal.
- At present, the service is free in beta, praised by early testers as cost-effective for indie authors, but AI errors mean human translators may still be needed despite Amazon saying translations are automatically evaluated.
- Amazon plans to add more languages and expand rollout, with translated books carrying a clear Kindle Translate label visible to readers.
