Booktranslator so my mom (and you) could read books

Hacker News

Hey HN, My mother does not read English, but there are many great books about health, longevity, and other important topics that are only in English. I am not ready to wait years for them to be translated. So, I created this booktranslator.ai so anyone could translate books and read them in their native language. The first users of my product also shared that they sometimes translate this book because it is easier for them to read in another language than when the book is released. A side story - I just learned to code and switched to Cursor to speed things up, so this is the first project I have created from scratch to launch. Here is the power of the Cursor. AMA. Maybe you can also find a use for such a tool.
