## What it is
Wenyi is a Python CLI tool that translates EPUB books into Chinese using LLMs, with whole-book context analysis, real-time glossary extraction, and multi-stage translation review. It preserves the original EPUB structure and supports resumable batch translation across multiple LLM providers.

## Use cases
- translate an epub novel to chinese
- machine translate a long book with llm
- create bilingual epub editions
- translate a novel keeping character names consistent
- resume an interrupted book translation
- translate epub while preserving formatting and images
- batch translate long-form texts with glossary support

## When to choose
- you need whole-book context and consistent terminology for long-form translation
- you want EPUB structure, styles, and images preserved
- you need resumable, checkpointed translation runs
- you want to use various LLM providers including local models via Ollama or vLLM

## When to avoid
- you need translation to languages other than Chinese
- you need real-time or interactive translation of short texts
- you cannot access any LLM provider or local model
- you need a GUI-based translation workflow
