Overview
- The AI tool currently supports English to Spanish and Spanish to English, plus German to English, with additional language pairs planned.

- Translated ebooks are clearly labeled as “Kindle Translate,” appear in the Amazon store with preview samples, and can be enrolled in KDP Select and Kindle Unlimited.
- Amazon says translations are automatically evaluated for accuracy and can be previewed, while industry coverage warns that human review may still be necessary for quality and nuance.
- The service is free during the beta period, and some reporting highlights unresolved questions about royalties, ownership, and future pricing.
