Summary

Doppeltext was created by Igor Kogan and Tatiana Zelenska.
We are based in Munich, Germany.
The idea was born in November 2010 while Igor was reading Charles Dickens on the iPod Touch.
We have spent six months developing the alignment algorithm.
The German website, featuring more than 100 bilingual ebooks, was launched in October 2011.
The English website was launched in January 2012.
The bilingual books can be read in a browser or downloaded in multiple formats.
Currently supported languages are English, German, French, Spanish and Russian.
We would like to offer contemporary literature as well, and are going to contact publishers in the next months.
We finance Doppeltext from our own resources.
Igor is an independent developer and designer: www.nowrap.de

Available book formats

The dual language books can be downloaded as interactive ePub files for Apple Books. When you click on a text fragment, the literary translation is displayed directly above the text. If you would like to try it on your iPad or iPhone, download a dual language short story by Guy de Maupassant. On the Kindle and other e-readers, click on the text to switch between the dual language version and the original.
