Context
Right now, in the read-aloud feature, the books are read in the language in which the book already is. However, the translation of the book text in other languages can be automated. This will help millions of people around the world whose first language might not be the same as the book's original language.
Proposal & Constraints
The book's text can first be translated with the use of various freely available libraries (for eg. googletrans It can then be fed to a text-to-speech API.

The rate of increase in views can also serve as a secondary indicator of the success of the project.
