Translating Text-Based Products
Updated Nov 6, 2026
Master Library products are written in English, and your private label rights let you translate them and sell the translation. The easiest route is to translate the Word file from the product's ZIP with DeepL, Google Docs or an AI assistant such as ChatGPT or Claude, have it reviewed, then rebrand it and export a PDF.
Which file to start from
Use the .docx in the ZIP, not the PDF. Word files keep the text, headings and tables editable, so the translation keeps its structure. Every ebook, guide, workbook, checklist, listicle, prompt pack, toolstack and email mini-course includes one.
Three ways to translate
DeepL (document upload) Upload the .docx at deepl.com and download the translated file with its formatting. Very good quality for European languages. The free plan limits how many documents you can translate.
Google Docs Upload the .docx to Google Drive, open it with Google Docs, then Tools > Translate document. Google creates a translated copy. Free; quality is good, but review it closely.
ChatGPT or Claude Paste a chapter at a time and ask for a natural translation for your audience, not a word-for-word one. Good for adapting tone, idioms and examples. Paste the result back into the Word file so the layout stays.
If you have the AI Skill Pack, your AI can open any Library product as text through the Entrepedia connector, which saves copying and pasting.
Review and localise
Machine translation is a first draft. Before you sell:
- Have a native speaker read it, or at least read it aloud yourself.
- Replace idioms and jokes that don't work in the new language.
- Change currencies, measurements, dates and examples to local ones.
- Check legal, tax or health statements apply in that country.
- Translate the title, subtitle, cover text, calls to action and your bio.
Keep the layout tidy
Translated text is often longer than English. After translating:
- Check every page for text that overflows boxes or tables.
- Shorten headings that wrap onto three lines.
- Use fonts that include the accents and letters of your language.
Rebrand and publish
- Export the translated Word file as PDF.
- Open the PDF in the PDF Rebrander to add your logo, links and a new cover, or make the cover in the Cover Generator with the translated title.
- Check the cover spelling carefully.
Choosing a language
Pick a language you speak, or one where you already have an audience or a reliable reviewer. One language done well beats five done quickly: translate several products into it, build a brand there, then expand.
