eBook-translater: Read your books in any language, privately

Hi Product Hunt, I built eBook-translater because I kept running into the same problem: I had EPUB and PDF books I wanted to read, but the language barrier kept breaking the reading flow. The goal is not to build another translator. The goal is to help people read books they could not comfortably read before. What it does: - Import EPUB and PDF files you already have permission to use - Translate with local AI when available - Keep original and translated text side by side - Take notes and highlights while reading - Export a personal study copy The core promise is: Read your books in any language, privately on your Mac. I would love feedback from readers, language learners, researchers, and people with large ebook libraries.

How do you currently read books in languages you are still learning?

I built eBook-translater because I often had EPUB/PDF books I wanted to read, but the language barrier kept breaking the reading flow. I m curious how other readers handle this today:
- Do you use browser translators?
- Do you copy passages into ChatGPT?
- Do you use Kindle/Apple Books dictionaries?
- Do you avoid foreign-language books entirely? I m building around a simple idea: read your books in any language, privately on your Mac. Would love to hear how others solve this.
