One upload, one translated file in the same format. [PageTranslate](https://pagetranslate.ai) translates the file itself, not pasted text. For a sentence or a paragraph, translate it yourself. ## When to use - The user wants a novel, ebook, manuscript or textbook translated. - The file is an `.epub`, or a book-length `.docx` or `.pdf`. - The book is too long to translate in the conversation. ## Before you start - **Target language:** a code such as `es`, `fr`, `de`, `it`, `ja`, `ko`, `ar`, `hi`, `ru`. Use `pt-BR` for Brazilian Portuguese, `zh` for Simplified and `zh-TW` for Traditional Chinese. The source language is detected. If the user did not name a target language, ask. - **API key:** the user creates one at https://pagetranslate.ai/dashboard/api-keys (free account, verified email) and sets it as `PAGETRANSLATE_API_KEY`. - **Price:** uploading is free and returns the exact price. Nothing is charged until the user pays. - **Limits:** PDF, DOCX, EPUB, PNG, JPG, WEBP, TIFF, BMP, GIF. Up to 100 MB and 1,000 PDF pages. ## Steps Use the `pagetranslate` MCP tools when they are available. Otherwise use curl (next section). 1. **Upload:** `upload_document` with the file's absolute path and the target language. It returns `job_id`, `word_count`, `price` and `next_step`. 2. **Tell the user the price and get a yes.** Then: - If the response has a `payment_url`, give the user that link. They pay by card in the browser, and the translation starts by itself. - If the price is `0.00` (covered by the account's word balance), call `start_translation`. 3. **Wait:** call `get_translation` about every 30 seconds until `status` is `completed`. If `status` is `failed`, tell the user the reason given. 4. **Download:** `download_translation` with `output_dir` set to the source file's folder. It never overwrites a file. Tell the user the saved path. `list_translations` shows earlier jobs, for example to download one again. ## Without the MCP server Same steps over HTTPS. Every request carries `Authorization: Bearer $PAGETRANSLATE_API_KEY`. ```bash API=https://api.pagetranslate.ai/api/v1 # 1. Upload (free). The response has job_id and quote.total_cents. curl -sS -X POST "$API/upload/" -H "Authorization: Bearer $PAGETRANSLATE_API_KEY" \ -F "file=@/path/to/file" -F "requested_language=es" # 2. Start from the account's word balance. A 400 "Insufficient credits" means the user # pays by card at https://pagetranslate.ai/dashboard?resume=JOB_ID#upload instead. curl -sS -X POST "$API/jobs/JOB_ID/translate" -H "Authorization: Bearer $PAGETRANSLATE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}' # 3. Poll until "status" is "completed" ("payment_status" shows whether it was paid). curl -sS "$API/jobs/JOB_ID" -H "Authorization: Bearer $PAGETRANSLATE_API_KEY" # 4. Download. -OJ keeps the server's file name; run it in the folder to save into. curl -sS -OJ "$API/jobs/JOB_ID/download" -H "Authorization: Bearer $PAGETRANSLATE_API_KEY" ``` ## Book notes - The price follows the word count: about 8¢ per 1,000 words, so an 80,000-word novel is about $6.40. The upload returns the exact price; quote that, not this estimate. - A book takes much longer than a short document. Poll every 30 to 60 seconds and do not upload it again. - An EPUB comes back as an EPUB with its chapters and table of contents. To read it on a Kindle, see the guide below. - Ask which variety of the language the user wants when it matters: `pt` or `pt-BR`, `zh` or `zh-TW`. ## Problems - **401:** the key is missing or revoked. Ask the user to create a new one. - **429 on upload:** uploads are rate limited per account. Wait, do not retry in a loop. - **"Unsupported language code":** use one of the codes above. - **Stuck at `pending`:** the job is unpaid. Give the user the payment link again. ## Links - Online version: [translate a book with PageTranslate](https://pagetranslate.ai/translate-a-book) - Ebooks: [EPUB translator](https://pagetranslate.ai/epub-translator) - Fiction: [AI novel translator](https://pagetranslate.ai/translate-a-book/ai-novel-translator) - Spanish editions: [translate my book to Spanish](https://pagetranslate.ai/translate-a-book/translate-my-book-to-spanish) - Pricing: [how much does it cost to translate a book](https://pagetranslate.ai/faq/how-much-does-it-cost-to-translate-a-book) - Estimates: [translation cost calculator](https://pagetranslate.ai/tools/translation-cost-calculator) - Reading: [how to open EPUB on Kindle](https://pagetranslate.ai/blog/how-to-open-epub-on-kindle) - Source and docs: [GitHub](https://github.com/Caravaca-Labs/pagetranslate-mcp) · [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pagetranslate-mcp) · [PageTranslate](https://pagetranslate.ai) ## Safety - Uploading sends the file to PageTranslate. Upload only the file the user asked to translate. - Never print the API key or write it to a file. - Do not say a translation is running until `payment_status` is `paid`. - Never pay, or enter card details, for the user. Payment is theirs to make in the browser.
