Do I need to know the target language?
No! Lexilit is designed to work even if you don't speak the target language. Our AI agents handle the translation with professional quality. However, we recommend working with a native speaker or professional editor for final review to ensure cultural nuances and idiomatic expressions are properly handled.
How to use Lexilit step by step?
Here's a step-by-step guide: 1) Sign up for a free account at lexilit.com, 2) Create a new project for your novel, 3) Upload your chapter files (TXT, DOCX, or PDF), 4) Create a translation agent for your target language, 5) Add key terms to your glossary, 6) Select chapters and start translating, 7) Review and edit translations, 8) Download your finished work.
Can I translate PDF files with Lexilit?
Yes, Lexilit supports PDF file uploads. Our system extracts text from PDF files while preserving paragraph structure. However, for best results with complex formatting, we recommend converting PDFs to DOCX format first, as this maintains more precise formatting during the translation process.

Features

What are translation agents?
Translation agents are customizable AI models that learn your specific writing style, preferences, and terminology. You can create multiple agents for different projects, genres, or target languages. Each agent maintains context across chapters, remembers character names, and applies consistent translation choices throughout your entire novel.
How does the glossary library work?
Our smart glossary system automatically detects and extracts key terms like character names, locations, and unique vocabulary from your text. You can then provide translations and context for each term. During translation, the system automatically applies these translations, ensuring consistency. You can manage terms manually or use our AI-powered detection to save time.
What file formats does Lexilit support?
Lexilit supports common document formats including TXT, DOCX, and PDF. You can upload individual chapters or entire novels. We maintain your original formatting and structure during the translation process, making it easy to export your work in the same format.
Can I translate into multiple languages at once?
Yes! You can create separate projects for each target language or manage multiple language versions within a single project. Our system allows you to switch between translation agents for different languages, making it efficient to produce multi-language editions of your work.
What languages does Lexilit support?
Lexilit supports translation into 50+ languages including major languages like English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, and many more. We continuously add new languages and improve translation quality based on user feedback.
How is Lexilit different from Google Translate?
Lexilit is specifically designed for novels and long-form content. Unlike general translation tools, we offer: custom AI agents that learn your style, character consistency tracking, glossary management for proper nouns, chapter-by-chapter context preservation, and professional editing features. Google Translate is great for short phrases, but Lexilit excels at maintaining story quality and narrative voice.

Pricing & Billing

How does the credit system work?
Lexilit operates on a credit-based system. Each word translated consumes one credit. Different actions have different costs: standard translation uses 1 credit per word, glossary detection uses a small credit fee per term, and creating custom agents has a one-time credit cost. Your credits rollover month to month if you're on a subscription plan.
What subscription plans do you offer?
We offer flexible plans to suit different needs: Free plan includes 5,000 words to get started.

Do unused credits roll over?
For subscription plans, unused credits roll over to the next month, up to a maximum of three months of your plan allowance. This ensures you don't lose value during less active periods. Credits from one-time purchases never expire. The Free plan credits do not roll over and must be used within the sign-up period.
