Turn your book into a complete Quechua (Runasimi) edition — translated with one style sheet, typeset for Quechua, ready to print, publish, or narrate. Free preview of the opening.

## The short answer

Yes — your book can become a complete Quechua edition: the manuscript translated with one style sheet so names and terms stay consistent, typeset properly for Quechua (Runasimi), and delivered as its own book you can print, publish, or narrate beside the original. You see the opening translated **free** first, and the full edition's price is quoted up front in AI credits. Quechua is one of 110 languages on the translation shelf.

## Why a Quechua edition

Quechua — Runasimi, "the people's tongue" — is still spoken by some eight million people across the Andes, the living language of the Inca road.

For most self-published authors, a second language has been out of reach: literary translators charge (deservedly) thousands per book, and raw machine translation produces text no Quechua reader would finish — with the names drifting, the idioms literal, and the typography wrong. A real edition needs consistency, register, and typesetting. That's the gap this closes.

## Typeset for Quechua, not just translated

A translation pasted into the original's layout looks wrong to native readers in ways they can feel before they can name. Quechua editions use “curly quotes” and the standard three-vowel orthography, set cleanly with Quechua hyphenation.

Line-breaking, hyphenation, and quotation conventions follow Quechua's rules, and the edition's page count is its own — so its printed spine is recalculated, not borrowed from the original.

## How it works

**1. Open (or upload) the book**: Start from your Bindery book, or upload the manuscript (Word, PDF, or EPUB) and it converts into an editable book on arrival.

**2. See the opening in Quechua — free**: Translate shows the opening pages rendered in Quechua before you commit, and quotes the full edition's price in AI credits up front.

**3. One style sheet, whole book**: The manuscript is translated with a single style sheet, so character names, invented terms, and recurring phrases stay consistent from first chapter to last — the thing chapter-by-chapter machine translation always breaks.

**4. Typeset for Quechua**: Quechua editions use “curly quotes” and the standard three-vowel orthography, set cleanly with Quechua hyphenation.

**5. Print, publish, or narrate the edition**: The Quechua edition stands as its own book beside the original — print it in any format, sell it from the same storefront, or narrate it (narration supports 74 languages).

## A second book, not a second file

The Quechua edition stands beside the original as its own book: printable in every format (hardcover, paperback, lie-flat coil, and saddle stitch), publishable to the same free storefront, exportable as clean files, narratable. Fix something in the original later and you decide when editions update — they're siblings, not mirrors.

## What it costs

Free to start — no account needed to try, no credit card, and a monthly allowance of AI credits on the free tier. The typeset, watermarked proof of your book is **always free**. Metered work (like transcription, translation, or narration) shows its price in credits **before you confirm**, so there are no surprise charges.

When you want clean files — press-ready PDF, EPUB, Word — that's a $49 one-time per book unlock, or free with Bindery Pro ($39/month (or $390/year)). One-time credit packs start at $12. Printed copies are priced per copy at order time, printed and shipped by Lulu.

## FAQ

### How good is the Quechua translation?

It's a literary translation pass built for books, not a sentence-by-sentence machine job: one style sheet governs names, invented terms, and recurring phrases across the whole manuscript, and the register is matched to the book rather than reset per paragraph. You can preview the opening in Quechua free before committing — judge it on your own pages.

### What does a translation cost?

It's quoted up front in AI credits based on your book's actual length, before anything runs — and the opening preview is free. No subscriptions required to translate a single book.

### Can the Quechua edition be printed and sold?

Yes — it's a complete book: print it in any format (hardcover, paperback, lie-flat coil, and saddle stitch), sell it from your free storefront beside the original, export clean files.

### Do I need to speak the language to publish in it?

No — though if you know a native reader, the free opening preview is the perfect thing to show them. The style sheet keeps the book internally consistent either way, and you control when (and whether) the edition goes on sale.

### Do I keep the rights to my book?

Yes — authors keep ownership of their work. Publish it anywhere, sell it from your free Infinite Library storefront, or keep it entirely private. The platform never takes your copyright.
