Book translation for Amazon KDP

You have written a book and you want it read beyond your own country? Publishing it on an international platform is an excellent decision, and Amazon KDP is the place to do it. It is the largest self publishing service for books, and thousands of authors have already chosen to publish there on their own. To sell successfully, however, you need a good literary translation of your book for Amazon KDP.

Why translate a book for Amazon

Selling books on Amazon is a chance to reach a global market. Every day millions of people look for new books in English, German, Spanish and other languages. If you want your book to take part in that race, it has to be adapted. Machine translation will not do: it makes the text unnatural, and the result is negative reviews and no sales. A professional translator takes the style, the genre and the cultural context into account. They keep the voice of the author and make the text readable for a native speaker.

Who the translation service suits:

• authors who want to widen their audience;
• those who have already printed a book in Ukraine but want to sell it abroad;
• experts, coaches and bloggers who work at an international level;
• writers who have chosen to self publish their book through Amazon KDP.

If you want your book to be read in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom or Australia, this is the solution for you.

The stages of translating a book for Amazon

Preparing a book for publication on Amazon KDP is more than a translation. It is work that calls for attention to detail, an understanding of the literary context and a grasp of the technical requirements. We stay with you at every stage, and the result is not just a translation but a book that is completely ready to sell.

Publishing a translated book on Amazon

Publishing a book on Amazon KDP after the translation is fairly simple, especially if you work with professionals who know every detail of the platform and are ready to stay with you at each stage. Here is how it goes:

1. First we receive the original text or an already translated manuscript from you.
2. Then we translate it into the language you need, most often English.
3. After that we edit and proofread the text, removing inaccuracies and improving the style.
4. Next we prepare the file in the required format (PDF, ePub or DOCX, for example) and set up the metadata.
5. Finally you receive detailed instructions, or our help, for uploading the book to Amazon KDP.

As a result your book goes on sale on the largest book marketplace in the world. We help those who are self publishing a book for the first time, so you are not left alone with the technical details. We will tell you how to prepare the cover properly, how to choose the right categories and how to set the price.

It is worth remembering that your book is your face on the international stage. Even a strong idea can be spoiled by a poor translation. A good translation is more than replacing words. It is a piece of creative work in its own right, and it requires:

• deep knowledge of both languages;
• an understanding of the genre and of literary technique;
• stylistically accurate editing;
• the ability to carry across the emotion and the rhythm of the original.

A quality translation is therefore the foundation of successful book sales on Amazon. It affects the reviews, the ranking and, in the end, the income of the author. Do not economise on the first step towards global success.
