  • What is inside
  • Active Projects Board: every manuscript in flight with source language, target language, stage, and current standing at a glance
  • Daily Word Count Log: translated output day by day so you can see your real pace, not your hoped-for pace
  • Glossary & Term Bank: locked-in equivalents for recurring terms, so chapter forty matches chapter three
  • Untranslatables Workbench: a working space for words with no equivalent, where you list candidate renderings, weigh what each one loses, and commit to a choice
  • Voice Fidelity Ratings: rate register, rhythm, humor, and tone against the original so drift gets caught early

About this tool

This interactive HTML dashboard for literary translators keeps your active projects board, daily word count log, glossary and term bank, untranslatables workbench, and rate and invoice calculator in one offline file you open in any browser.

Most planners treat translation like typing. This one treats it like the interpretive craft it is: a place to argue with yourself about a single untranslatable word, rate how faithfully a chapter holds the author's voice, and log why you finally chose one rendering of a character name over three others. Your reasoning stops living in scattered notes and margin comments.
