What was actually said

“Is it possible, via some supported mechanism, to apply automated translation to Google Play books — so people can read any book in their native language?”

Background and pain

The pain

No translation, no reading: DRM blocks every tool while MT quality sits ready but unreachable inside licensed readers.

A buildable angle

The opening

A licensed 'instant translation' reader layer for publishers: rights-cleared content with quality tiers, sold per book or subscription.

How to validate it

  1. Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
  2. Search existing tools around "ebooks / machine translation" and check which single step they actually cover.
  3. Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to Stack Exchange, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
