In this episode, I sit down with translator and publisher Maxwell Zachs to unpack how authors can use AI plus human review to translate their books into languages like German, French, Spanish, Italian, Catalan, and more—at a fraction of traditional costs. We talk about what AI is great at, where it totally falls down, how his team at Word Count uses “translation review” to fix it, and why this new hybrid model is opening up foreign markets (and real jobs) instead of killing them. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing your stories on virtual shelves around the world—but thought translation was too expensive or risky—this conversation will change how you think about going global.
