Bilingual Reader Maker

Produce polished bilingual reading materials from English source PDFs or long articles.

Default output:

• Real-text HTML for editing, copying, searching, parsing, and mobile reading.
• PDF exported from that HTML for sharing.
• English source paragraph first, Simplified Chinese translation immediately below.

Workspace

Create one project folder per source:

<workspace>/<semantic-slug>/
├── source/          # source PDF/article/assets, preserve originals
├── intermediate/    # extracted text, translation cache, page samples
├── output/          # final HTML/PDF and copied assets
├── qa/              # screenshots/thumbnails/render checks
└── scripts/         # project-specific generation scripts

If the user already has a project folder, work inside it. Do not create duplicates.

Production Standard

• Preserve the source's visual identity where appropriate: cover, chapter art, color palette, logos, icons, and typographic mood.
• Do not force the original layout if it hurts learning. For phone-friendly reading, prefer normal single-column flow.
• Structure each reading unit as:
  1. English source paragraph
  2. Chinese translation
  3. Light divider
• Use real text HTML, not a screenshot-only artifact.
• Export PDF from the HTML using Chrome headless when available.
• Add attribution only if the user wants it. Keep it subtle and place it in a final colophon, not on the cover.

Suggested colophon pattern:

This bilingual study edition was prepared for learning, reading, and discussion.
Prepared by: <name or organization>

For Chinese-facing editions:

Avoid aggressive calls to follow, QR codes, sales language, or cover branding unless explicitly requested.

Workflow

1. Bootstrap:

   • Locate source file(s) and project folder.
   • Preserve the original source file.
   • Check for local project instructions such as AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.

2. Extract and inspect:

   • Extract text with pypdf first.
   • If text extraction is poor, render pages and consider OCR.
   • Render representative original pages into qa/original/ to inspect real colors, cover, chapter art, icons, and layout.

3. Translate:

   • Translate by coherent paragraph/segment, not whole-page blobs.
   • Preserve the English source text.
   • Keep a translation cache in intermediate/translation_cache.json.
   • Verify there are no missing translations, empty translations, or placeholder strings.

4. Design HTML:

   • Use original visual assets for cover/chapter pages when possible and legally appropriate.
   • Use single-column mobile-readable body layout by default.
   • Use calm editorial typography: serif for English headings/body when it fits; readable Chinese fonts for translation.
   • Keep the HTML source clear enough to modify later.

5. Export and QA:

   • Export PDF from HTML.
   • Capture screenshots for cover, table of contents, a chapter/section page, a body page, and one narrow mobile viewport.
   • Check for horizontal overflow, clipped text, missing assets, old copy, missing translations, and unreadable density.
   • Open/reveal final artifacts or provide direct paths/links.
