Amazon introduces Kindle Translate for global eBook reach
Translated eBooks will be clearly labelled and available for KDP Select and Kindle Unlimited subscribers.
Amazon has introduced Kindle Translate, an AI-powered translation service designed to help Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) authors reach readers worldwide.
The beta service currently supports translations between English and Spanish, and from German to English, enabling authors to make their eBooks accessible in multiple languages.
Authors can manage translations, set prices, and publish fully formatted books within days, with automated accuracy checks ensuring seamless publication.
The service addresses the limited availability of multilingual titles on Amazon, where fewer than 5% of books are offered in multiple languages. Kindle Translate helps authors reach a wider audience and boost earnings with a cost-effective and reliable translation solution.
Early adopters, including independent authors Roxanne St Claire and Kristen Painter, praised the service for enabling wider international readership and boosting book revenue.
Translated eBooks will be available for purchase on Amazon, with clear labels and preview samples for readers. Titles are eligible for KDP Select and Kindle Unlimited, with more languages planned to expand the library of translated works.
