Book Bible and narrative memory
Read what Libris Translate understood of your book, and correct it before it translates.
Steps
- After the analysis, open the Book Bible tab: editorial summary, tone, narrative style, point of view, tense, genre, honorifics, known wordplay and translation guidelines.
- Correct what the analysis got wrong. “Edit the structured Book Bible (JSON)” gives access to every field, and “Save and validate Book Bible” makes your version the reference.
- In the character list, “Edit profile” opens a sheet: canonical name, aliases, pronouns, description, relationships, speech style, register and translation notes. “Save and validate” makes it yours.
- Choose where the memory is looked up with “Context engine” in the book’s Settings tab: “Internal — recommended”, “Hybrid” or OpenViking. The OpenViking panel of the Book Bible tab shows whether the optional service is configured and synchronised.
What to know
What the analysis proposes is marked “AI analysis — review required” until someone validates it. A validated character sheet stops learning: the analysis no longer adds relations, aliases or description to it. Gender and pronouns can be decided on their own without freezing the sheet. When OpenViking cannot be reached, Libris Translate takes over with its own memory.
Fictional example
Before translating a scene that depends on it, correct Mara’s relationship to the fictional lighthouse keeper in her sheet and save it.
