About Pagera
Pagera is a free digital library of 24,450 public-domain world classics, readable in your native language. 390 Korean translations are currently available alongside the originals.
Mission
World literature, in your language, free for everyone. Public-domain classics are humanity's shared inheritance. Pagera uses AI translation — reviewed by humans — to revive works that language barriers had kept from readers.
What Pagera is
Pagera is two things: a modern library that curates public-domain texts from Project Gutenberg and Aozora Bunko, and a multilingual translation platform where AI translates on reader request with human-reviewed quality gates. Both originals and translations are free forever, funded by advertising.
How it works
A reader requests a translation. Duplicate requests accumulate and enter the queue ranked by (popularity × waiting time × demand). An AI produces a first draft, then a 5-axis review loop iterates until it scores 98/100 or higher. If it falls short, a targeted-fixer rewrites the weak spots — up to 5 iterations.
Translation quality standard
Every Korean translation on Pagera must pass a double-blind review by two independent LLM reviewers before publication. Publication thresholds:
- Adequacy (meaning preserved) ≥ 9.5 / 10
- Fluency (natural target-language prose) ≥ 9.5 / 10
- Style (era and tone match) ≥ 9.5 / 10
- Humanness (AI-tone removed) ≥ 9.5 / 10
- Polish (formatting, spelling, quotes) ≥ 9.5 / 10
- Overall ≥ 98 / 100
