 "title": "Read a foreign-language book with translation on each paragraph",
 "page_title": "How to read a foreign-language book with translation on each paragraph with Modureader",
 "summary": "Show the original and translated text side by side on the reading page, or switch to translation only.",
 "who": "A reader working through an ebook in a language they are still learning, who wants to check meaning paragraph by paragraph without leaving the page.",
 "problem": "Looking up one sentence at a time in a pop-up breaks reading flow, and a full book export is not practical.",
 "outcome": "The current reading area shows the translation inline, in 原文 + 译文 or 仅译文 mode.",
 "steps": [
  "Open a book in the reader and open the translation panel.",
  "Choose an engine: Google translate, AI translate, or DeepL / DeepLX.",
  "Set the target language and choose 原文 + 译文 for side-by-side view or 仅译文 for translation only.",
  "Read on. Translation loads with the reading position rather than exporting the whole book.",
  "Use the stop control in the toolbar to end translation at any time."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the Modu Reader repo (sobranie2406/modureader), configure whole-page translation for <book title> into <target language> in side-by-side mode. Report the engine chosen and confirm that the translation appears next to the original paragraph on the current page.",

 "requirements": [
  "A device on a supported platform: Windows, Linux, Android, macOS, iOS (ARM64 real device, iOS 16+) or HarmonyOS, with the installer from the Releases page",
  "Local reading needs no AI account. AI, online translation and online voice need their own provider settings and may cost money",
  "For sync: your own WebDAV server",
  "For vector search: a few hundred MB of disk space is not stated in the README, so check model sizes in the settings before downloading"
