Translation

Select text in a PDF or EPUB and tap Translate (or long-press a word). eBook Pro detects the language of the selection and translates it into your chosen language; pick a different source or target in the pop-up. If the text is already in your language, it translates the other way, so Hindi becomes English and English becomes Hindi.

Android: translation uses Google ML Kit on your device. The first time you use a language, its pack downloads (tens of MB), so use Wi-Fi if you are on a limited data plan; afterwards it works offline and your text is not sent anywhere.

Web app: on-device models are not available in a browser, so the text you translate is sent to the MyMemory online translation service. It has a free daily limit; when it is reached the pop-up says so.

Long selections are split automatically; very long ones are shortened and the pop-up tells you. Use Copy to copy the translation.
