Translation support for real reading
Read English books with translation and vocabulary help
When a sentence blocks your reading, TeakReader keeps translation and vocabulary support close to the page. Tap words, translate difficult sentences, track what you know, and review vocabulary from the book you are actually reading.

The translation problem
Switching between a book, dictionary, and translator breaks the story.
English learners often understand most of a page, then lose the flow when one word or sentence becomes too hard. Jumping to a separate translator can solve the moment, but it pulls attention away from the book.
TeakReader keeps reading support close to the page, so translation helps you continue instead of replacing the original text.
Word lookup
Tap one word when one word is the problem.
Use dictionary lookup for unfamiliar words without leaving the book. TeakReader can show meanings, examples, related forms, and controls for marking vocabulary as Known, Learning, or Ignored.
That keeps the word tied to the sentence where it actually mattered.

Sentence translation
Translate the full sentence when the whole line is hard.
Some passages are difficult because of grammar, idiom, or older writing style. In those moments, word-by-word lookup is not enough. TeakReader supports sentence translation for tricky lines.
Use it as reading support: check the sentence, return to the original English, and keep building vocabulary from the book.
How it works
Use translation as a bridge back into the book.
The goal is not to replace reading with machine translation. It is to help you stay with the original English long enough for vocabulary to grow.
Tap the hard word
Use dictionary lookup when one word is blocking the sentence.
Translate the hard line
Use sentence translation when the whole passage is difficult.
Keep the vocabulary
Mark words and review them later with flashcards from the book.
Vocabulary memory
Turn translated moments into words you remember.
When a lookup or translation reveals a useful word, TeakReader can keep it in your vocabulary system. Review it later with flashcards, then let future reading and subtitle stats use the same memory.

Real books
Use EPUBs and Project Gutenberg classics.
TeakReader supports personal EPUB imports and Project Gutenberg search for public-domain classics. Once a book is processed, it can feed the same lookup, translation, vocabulary stats, and flashcard workflow.
For file-format details, see the EPUB reader with dictionary page.
Reading support
This is reading support, not a full-book translation service.
TeakReader helps you read the original English text with word lookup, sentence translation, vocabulary tracking, and review. It does not turn an entire copyrighted book into a translated edition, and it is not a PDF, Kindle, MOBI, AZW, or DRM reader.
