FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers regarding TranslateMyLibro licensing, engines, and features.

Is there really no recurring subscription?
Yes! TranslateMyLibro believes in true software ownership. A single $24.99 purchase on the Mac App Store gives you lifetime access without any recurring monthly fees.
Will I get extra API charges when translating documents?
No. By using macOS built-in Apple Translation on-device engine or local LLMs (such as Ollama, LM Studio) running directly on your Mac, you can translate unlimited documents 100% free. All processing stays entirely on your local hardware with zero external API bills.
Can I use it on iPad in the future?
We are currently supporting macOS first, with the iPadOS version in active development and coming soon. When the iPad version launches, existing Mac App Store owners will receive it as a free update via Apple Universal Purchase.
Are my private books and documents sent to external cloud servers?
Never. When using on-device translation or local LLM modes, all text parsing and translation occurs 100% locally inside your Mac. Your library database is stored securely in an encrypted SQLite database on your local drive.
Can it translate text inside comics, manga, and illustrations?
Yes! Built-in intelligent text detection and background restoration algorithms cleanly erase foreign text from speech bubbles or illustrations and re-typeset high-quality translated text aligned to original dimensions.
