Zenòdot

Zenòdot maintains the largest actively maintained open catalogue of book translations in the world. It is not a meta-search engine and it does not translate anything: it maintains a canonical database of its own, built by correlating dozens of open bibliographic sources — national libraries on every continent, Wikidata, the historical record of UNESCO's Index Translationum — with a matching engine of its own, to answer one question: has this book been translated into this language?

It treats all languages equally, with special attention to languages minoritized in the publishing market: a reader of Basque, Welsh or Occitan gets the same quality of answer as a reader of English. Search any title, author or ISBN and see every catalogued edition grouped by language; author names resolve across writing systems (Dostoevsky, ??????????? and ???????? are the same author). Coverage is nonetheless incomplete and Zenòdot says so — no tool can claim totality.
