For more than a decade Babelcube brought authors and translators together and took thousands of books into languages they would never otherwise have reached. That happened because authors trusted strangers with their work, and because translators took a share of an uncertain royalty instead of a fee. We are grateful to every one of you.
Artificial Intelligence has changed what our service was for: authors who once needed a partner to reach a new language now often do not, and the market those translations competed in has filled up. We have therefore stopped accepting new books, new translation offers and new translating teams, and we have retired the public side of the site.
Books already published through Babelcube remain on sale at the retailers that carry them, and authors and translators continue to be paid their royalties exactly as before. Translations already under way can still be finished and published. Accounts, royalty statements and payment details all remain available.
We are not closing the doors on the work you have already done with us. It carries on.
