how to translate a whole book in linux??
 

how do i translate a document to english??

Hi,

I don't know, maybe word by word, sentence by sentence or page by page? Really, what do you mean? Automatic translation?

Kind regards,

Eric

This is commercial but comes recommended, Swordfish: http://www.maxprograms.com./ if it's the sort of thing you're looking for.

Google for Computer Aided Translation will turn up a bunch of stuff to look at. One in particular is a Wikipedia article that includes links to translation tools; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute...ed_translation.

Hope this helps some.

i mean translating whole document...book, in my case

Please be more specific:
- What kind of book (paper, ebook, if ebook, which format, ...)?
- Automatic translation, manual translation, ...?

Please post any information that may be relevant to your question.

For a small document or paragraph, you can translate it using Google Translate. It has options to choose translate between multiple languages. :)

i want to translate this book into English...

google translate translated whole book but i couldn't figure out how to save it.

Best of luck, but keep in mind that computer translators are often inaccurate when translating short passages, and you are talking about an entire book. It would be worthwhile to do some research to find out which translators are the better ones.

Online language translator translates word by word, that means they search for a word, finds it's meaning and replaces with the word in original language. So this could mess-up the meaning of a full sentence.

I think, you should better search for English version of this book, which will be more appropriate thing to do.

Ciao!

Computer Translations still have a long way to go.
They can often get a sort of readable translation that a very good reader of English can just about follow (though sometimes not), but its very painful.
Seriously though, get the English version or pay a proper translator to do it for you; forget computers, they're just not up to it.

You're most likely going to have the best translation with (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute...ed_translation)

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_memory for more information (and links to suppliers).

Hope this helps some.

It looks like the book was translated from English and then translated into Spanish. So it seems there have to be English copies out there somewhere:

From the copyright page:

Book was originally written in English only. Please help me if you can find the original copy somewhere.

It doesn't seem to be widely available, but Google might be helpful:

You might also find used copies through amazon.com or one of the other good book sites. Good luck!
