“Today, we launch the very first foreign-language version of my audiobook, beginning with Espanol, built with artificial intelligence,” the first lady told Digital. “This release is inspired directly by the Spanish-speaking community, whose enthusiasm and heartfelt requests encouraged me to make my story accessible to Spanish speakers everywhere.”
The Spanish language edition features an AI-generated voice of Mrs. Trump—expertly created by ElevenLabs—to deliver the audiobook in a way that maintains the first lady’s “mannerism, purpose, and authenticity,” while bringing her story to millions of Spanish-speaking listeners.
Meanwhile, billboards to promote the audiobook will be up in Times Square in New York City.
Upon the release of the English audiobook, the first lady told Digital she was “proud to be at the forefront of publishing’s new frontier – the intersection of artificial intelligence technology and audio.”

“Each story shaped me into who I am today,” she said. “Although daunting at times, the process has been incredibly rewarding, reminding me of my strength, and the beauty of sharing my truth.”
“Melania” is the first lady’s first book. She released the original book along with a special collector’s edition that includes photos hand-selected by the first lady, many of which she photographed herself of her home and of various trips she has taken around the world.
Meanwhile, MELANIA, the film, will debut exclusively in theaters worldwide on January 30th, 2026.
The first lady will be the subject of the upcoming documentary.
