This is a cool idea, and something I would consider using. Two questions: - How are you sourcing your translations, and what is your technology solution for matching them up? - Do you have plans to make a native app for tablets that can store the books locally, or are you going to move ahead with improving your web tool for now? |

The new books we're adding come from Project Gutenberg. We parse the ebooks, and using our tool and a combination of open source technologies (http://mokk.bme.hu/en/resources/hunalign/ for instance) we do the matching and then manually review the result, if necessary.
We started building an app, but then realised that the interface would basically be the same, and a lot can be accomplished with modern web technologies. We plan to leverage local storage and to make it feel as native as possible for now, since we have fairly limited resources and a lot of work in front of us.
