Question 1

How is the quality of AI translation compared to traditional translation?

Accepted Answer

Traditional "machine translation" is very rigid and mechanical, almost impossible to use for literary translation. But AI is completely different. AI doesn't just translate — it "understands" the original text and rewrites it in the target language as required. So any novel that AI can understand can be translated well. AI can also understand the emotions conveyed in the original text, making it very suitable for literary and novel translation.

Question 2

Is Novo Translator AI translation? Does it use ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

Novo Translator uses leading AI model capabilities, but its workflow is different from pasting isolated passages into a chat. It first profiles the novel, builds a whole-book glossary that users can review, and then keeps those references connected to translation and multi-stage quality checks. The actual model is selected by task strategy and availability.

Question 3

Can the translation of character names and place names be kept consistent throughout the book?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Novo Translator strives for a fully automatic translation experience. You just need to upload the file, click start, wait a few minutes, and a novel can be translated. To achieve this goal, it has a built-in terminology analysis mechanism that scans all character names, place names, factions, martial arts techniques, items and other terms throughout the entire novel (whether 10,000 or 2 million words), and maintains consistency of terms throughout the text. For users with higher requirements, you can also use the manual term extraction function to review terms before translation.

Question 4

What is the maximum length of novel that can be translated? Do I need to split chapters?

Accepted Answer

Novo Translator is designed for ultra-long tasks. It can stably process tasks of 2 million words. Currently, for service reliability, we temporarily limit to 30MB txt files. In fact, it's always recommended to upload the complete novel rather than splitting it. Because the built-in automatic terminology function ensures consistent terminology for this task — if split into different files, terminology between files may be inconsistent. Even manually exporting and importing terminology is very troublesome. Novo Translator can process a 2 million word novel with more than 3,000 terms at once, without quality loss due to length. Please feel free to upload.

Question 5

How long does it take to complete such a long task?

Accepted Answer

Tasks of several hundred thousand words are usually completed in a few to ten minutes, and million-word novels are usually completed within 20 minutes. However, depending on system load and queue status, it may take longer.

Question 6

How is the pricing? Can I get a refund if I'm not satisfied with the translation?

Accepted Answer

During the testing period, the first portion of each task is free as a preview, after which the base rate is $2 per 100,000 source characters. Because large language model calls are very expensive, refunds are not available unless there are significant errors. We recommend confirming the translation quality through the free quota first, and you can contact our admin email or Discord community for help.

Question 7

Which kinds of files are prone to translation errors?

Accepted Answer

There are generally two kinds. For txt: files copied directly from web pages that have many forced line breaks by character count within paragraphs (e.g. a forced break every 20 characters) may not be processed correctly. For epub: epub files converted from other formats, especially PDF, may fail to be processed correctly because the format is too complex. It's best to use well-formed txt and native epub files. If the translated file you receive is broken or corrupted, you can contact the admin for a refund. Before starting a task, we also recommend using the preview function first to check whether the file can be processed correctly.
