AI novel translation

Translate Japanese light novels to English

Light novels live on dialogue rhythm and character voice. 2Novel keeps your honorific and address conventions in the Book Bible so every chapter follows the same rules.

Where light novel to English translation goes wrong

Honorifics
Keeping or dropping -san, -kun, -sama or -senpai is your call. Record it once and every chapter follows.
First-person pronouns
Japanese has many ways to say I, tied to personality. A per-character rule keeps the voice stable in English.
Dropped subjects
Japanese often omits the subject, so the translation must infer the speaker. Review ambiguous lines beside the source.

How 2Novel handles it

  1. Create a book and paste or upload chapters (TXT, DOCX, PDF).
  2. Fill the Book Bible: character names, terms, places and address rules.
  3. Translate one chapter or run parallel batches.
  4. Read the translation beside the source, edit it and save style samples.
  5. Export DOCX, PDF or TXT, or share a reading link.

You are responsible for having the right to translate and use the content you upload.
