At Book Creator, we believe in empowering every student and family to connect and learn. That's why we've integrated robust translation capabilities, allowing you to seamlessly translate content into 100+ languages. This feature is designed to break down language barriers and foster truly inclusive learning environments.

Translations are a core feature for teachers utilizing Book Creator Premium through a School or District purchase, or for those with an individual Premium subscription. We also want everyone to experience the power of translation, so teachers on our free plan can explore this feature with three complementary uses.

With translation, you can transform:

Teachers, whether on a free or premium plan, have the flexibility to enable student access to translation features directly from their library settings. This means students can independently translate text (including comments), audio transcripts, video captions, and even full books. For student use, translation is defaulted to 'off' in library settings, giving you full control.

Translating text is incredibly intuitive from within Book Creator.

Step 1: Select the plus (+) button and under the Tools menu, select Text.

Step 2: The Text editor will automatically open on your screen or, if you have created a Comic style book, you may need to choose one of the text style options to open the editor.

Step 3: From within the text editor, there are a few different ways to access translations.

Ensure that feedback is always understood! Both teachers and students can translate comments on a book. Just click the 3-dot menu next to any comment and select "Translate" to ensure your valuable insights and student responses are clear to everyone.

Captions are essential for video accessibility. You can easily add subtitles or captions to a video by right-click or using the video's inspector (i) button.

Step 1: After recording a video in Book Creator using the Camera feature, right-click on an video and select Add captions. You can also access this feature by selecting on the video and then selecting the inspector (i) button and choosing Add captions.

Step 2: Once captions are added, an item will appear in the right-click and inspector (i) button menus to Translate captions. If using the right-click, it will automatically open the inspector menu, to select the language for the captions.

Step 3: In the inspector (i) options, the languages for captions will appear, and using the 3-dot menu options, you can select which language to use as default captions on the video.

Imagine recorded audio instantly spoken in another language! Book Creator can generate a new audio file using a realistic voice in your chosen language. T

Step 1: After recording audio in Book Creator using the Record feature, right-click on an audio icon and select Translate. You can also access this feature by selecting on the audio icon and then selecting the inspector (i) button and choosing Translate.

Step 2: If you haven't already added a Transcript to the original audio file, it will prompt you to generate the transcript first.
​

Step 3: Once the transcript is generated, select Next: Choose language to select the language and voice for your audio and select Translate. A new audio icon will appear with the translate icon indicating a different language and voice.

For a complete translation experience, you can translate entire books in Book Creator. There are two library views to be aware of, but in both scenarios, you simply choose Translate book from the book menu within your library.

We always recommend reviewing your newly translated book once the process is complete. Minor adjustments to layout may be needed as sentence lengths can sometimes change during translation.

We use the same technology as Google Translate for translations but rest assured that no data sent for translation is retained by Google or used for any other purpose by them. We use the translations services within Google Cloud which operate under a different terms of service to the consumer facing Google Translate at translate.google.com.
