Book, Novel, and Literature Translations
Channeling the art of storytelling across languages through literature translations
Book and literature translations are as old as books themselves. In fact, the first book printed in English, “The Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye”, was a translation of a text first authored in French by Raoul Lefèvre. From ancient Greek and Roman epics to modern day fiction, interest in stories, myths, and histories from afar has always been an insatiable driver of their flow across languages, cultures, and scholarly institutions.
Thanks to the worldwide profusion of cultural media, stories and experiences from all corners of the globe not only enrich people’s lives literarily, but by spreading intercultural awareness. From fiction to genres across the non-fiction spectrum, CSOFT offers a full range of multilingual translation solutions for books and literature entering the global marketplace, including:
- Manuscript translations
- Biographical translations
- Novel and short story translations
- Poetry and verse translations
- Children’s book translations
- Textbook translations

Meeting the Demands of Global Readership
The average American reads an estimated five hours per day and 12 books per year – a rate closely matched by readers in countries including Brazil, Mexico, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Turkey. Many countries report even higher rates of readership, however, with Russia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, the Philippines, China, Thailand, and India averaging more than 7 hours per person per day. As well as domestic literature, much of this consumption reflects demand for titles originating in foreign languages, as populations worldwide share a growing overlap both in their cultural interests and their needs for information.
To help publishers meet global interest in their titles, CSOFT’s linguists and subject matter experts (SMEs) can translate and adapt literature of all kinds to suit the linguistic and cultural contexts of readers in specific countries and regions. In addition to translation and transcreation, we offer end-to-end content services supporting multilingual publication, including:
