60-second summary
Quick answer
Review names, terminology, units, headings, idioms and cultural references in Book Editor, then use a fluent human reviewer for any edition you plan to sell.
Before you start
What you need
- Open the completed translation in Book Editor and keep the source edition available for comparison.
- Prepare a glossary for names, product terms, units and phrases that must remain consistent.
- Arrange a fluent reviewer for any translated edition intended for sale.
Procedure
Complete the task step by step
- 01
Open the translated draft
From the completed job, send the edition to Book Editor and keep the source available beside it.
Current app screen
AI translation creates the working edition; editorial review is still required before publication. - 02
Check names and terminology
Create and apply a short glossary for terms that must remain consistent.
- 03
Read headings separately
Headings often need natural rewriting rather than literal translation.
- 04
Review cultural references
Replace examples that do not make sense for the target reader.
- 05
Proof the DOCX
Download and inspect the translated DOCX because line length, page flow and images can differ from the browser editor.
- 06
Use a fluent reviewer
A fluent human reviewer should approve any translated edition intended for sale.
Success check
Confirm that it worked
- Names, terminology, headings, units and cultural references are consistent throughout the edited draft.
- Book Editor saves the corrections and the proofed DOCX opens with the expected chapter order and formatting.
Important notes
- Preserve formatting is a structure option, not a language-quality approval.
- Translated sentences can change line length and page breaks even when headings and lists are retained.
- The downloadable translation is DOCX, so proof that file separately from the browser view.
Troubleshooting
If it still does not work
Headings sound literal or unnatural
Rewrite them directly in Book Editor instead of retranslating the entire source.
A name or specialist term varies between chapters
Apply one glossary spelling throughout the draft and run a final search before export.
Images or page breaks moved after translation
Correct headings, spacing and image placement in Book Editor, then export a new proof.
