AI TRANSLATIONS
FOR AUTHORS

Translating a book the old-fashioned way costs thousands of dollars — something that's kept indie authors out of foreign markets for over a decade. But even with AI, simply throwing a whole novel at an LLM gets highly inconsistent results; obvious errors like grammar, tense and voice, but also subtler changes you'll probably never notice, such as revealing the gender of a mystery character, or a clunky idiom that shifts the meaning of your original.

That's because an AI isn't a person. It has no idea that a dark interrogation scene needs different pronoun choices than a love scene. It can't distinguish a deliberate storytelling choice from a mistake it needs to correct.

Fortunately, there's a solution — one built specifically for indie authors willing to put in a little work.

Preparation is the Key to Translating Success

That’s right – the bulk of the work required to achieve a professional-quality end result happens before a single word gets translated.

The approach inside AI Translations for Authors focuses on a “multi-pass” system, starting with a Global Style Sheet – a comprehensive language bible built for each individual book, covering grammar rules, speech marks, voice, formal and informal address, character relationship dynamics, idioms, and long-running subtleties such as recurring jokes.

Yes, this sounds like a lot. But by giving the AI a detailed roadmap up front, it can work in smaller, manageable chunks while retaining the full picture of the novel. The result is consistency and quality across the entire translation – something notoriously difficult to achieve even with human translators.

I’ll show you which prompts to use to set up your own high-quality translation production line. And once it’s set up, you won’t have just one translated title – you’ll have the means to produce books suitable for multiple languages and foreign markets.

why translate now?

Massive Revenue Growth: Reach 13 new markets simultaneously with each new release.

Less Competition: Markets like Germany, Spain and Italy are less saturated and offer easier paths to profit than the UK and USA.

Proven Results: Hear from authors who grossed nearly $17,000 in a single year from just a few translated titles.

Kindle Unlimited Opportunities: We prioritise highly lucrative markets where KU is already established.

what will you learn?

Anyone can run a prompt and get AI to spit out a bunch of garbage. This course will teach you an approach that ensures your brand is protected by high-quality prose.

The Global Strategy: How to prioritise the top nine non-English markets, starting with the “Big Three” – Germany, France and Spain.

The Tools of the Trade: Deep dives into the best AI engines for fiction (Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini) and specialised author tools like ScribeShadow and GlobeScribe.

The Global Style Sheet Secret: How to create a “bespoke owner’s manual” for your book to ensure AI remains consistent with your characters, technical terms, and world-building.

Cultural Nuance: Expert guidance of language-specific formatting, from French narrative styles to proper dialogue punctuation (em-dashes vs. guillemets).

Beyond the Manuscript: Step by step tutorials on translating titles and blurbs. Not just a literal translation but work with the AI to recognise what's working in your target market and to create a title and book description that will appeal to readers in that country.

A WORD FROM THE CREATOR JAMES BLATCH

This course began with the first reviews I received after I used the same AI translation tools that every other indie author used. 'Great story, shame about the AI translation;'.

I don't want my readers drawn out of the story by clunky phrasing and improper forms of address. When I ran my translation through a review process, I found the story was more or less faithful, but the manuscript was littered with errors that stood out to native readers.

But I also knew AI is powerful. Powerful enough that when used correctly, it can produce the goods.

The system we developed, over the next six months, requires more time, with multiple passes, but the results were extraordinary. Translations that didn't feel like translations!

I couldn't wait to develop what we learned into a step-by-step course. AI Translations for Authors is the result.

"Excellent course with clear practical value...Would confidently recommend to other indie authors looking to break into translation. Loved it."
