Checking, polishing and exporting the translation

The chapters are translated — what’s left is to make sure nothing got lost, hand the translation to the critic if you like, and download the finished file. You don’t have to read the whole book from cover to cover: the machine gathers the places where it had doubts, and the rest can be read selectively.

What to check after the automation

1. Open “Automation summary” or click “What to check” on the automation bar. It gathers every place where the machine had doubts while it translated and accepted chapters on its own.
2. “Glossary doubts” are words whose translation the model chose on its own. Open an entry and change the translation if you wish: the affected blocks are retranslated with a button.
3. “Places to check in chapters ⚑” are blocks where a paragraph is missing, the model broke the answer form or new words appeared. Each place leads to a block of the chapter.
4. “Chapters that grew unlike the rest” are chapters where the translation is noticeably longer or shorter than the original compared with the rest of the book. Check there whether any text was lost.

Polishing: the critic reads the translation

1. Polishing is optional. The critic — another model — reads an accepted chapter and marks places where the translation loses the meaning or the author’s voice, departs from the glossary or does not read like native text. Open “Polishing” or click Open polishing in the review section.
2. In the “How the critic reads” block, choose “Checks against the original” or “Reads as native text — without the original”. Click Critic: all accepted chapters, or select a chapter and click Critic: this chapter.
3. The notes are grouped by kind: meaning, glossary, language norm, style, not native. Tick the ones you agree with (Tick all open notes ticks them all at once) and click Give to the assistant. Remove the rest with Dismiss.
4. The assistant suggests edits only in those paragraphs — accept the ones you need. If a chapter was edited after the critic read it, it is marked “edited”: some notes may be out of date, so have the critic read it again.

Exporting as a file

1. The finished translation downloads as a single file — with the chapters and with the original’s italics and bold. Open “Export”: at the top you see how many chapters are accepted, how many are drafts and how many are not translated yet.
2. In the “File format” block, choose docx, epub, fb2, md or txt. Italics and bold are kept in every format except txt.
3. In the “Chapters you have not accepted yet” block, choose “Leave out” or “Include the draft with a note”. Chapters marked “Do not translate” and “Bibliography” go in as in the original.
4. If you like, fill in the “File name” field — when it is empty, the file is named after the translation — and click Download file.
