Academic PhD Thesis Translation
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
My PhD thesis is finished in English—approximately 80,000 words, inclusive of a quantitative study with data tables, figures, and numerous citations. What I now need is a precise German version that shadows the original in every respect: chapter sequence, sub-headings, tables, statistical terminology, references, even pagination where possible.
You will be working from an approved style guide that I already have in both English and German. It covers tone, referencing format, permissible abbreviations, and preferred terminology. Please keep absolutely faithful to these rules while still producing a text that reads naturally to German-speaking academics.
Key elements I will look for:
• Complete, line-by-line German translation of the manuscript, maintaining all formatting of headings, tables, and figures.
• Consistent rendering of technical vocabulary, formulae, and variable names—no improvisation outside the glossary built into the guide.
• Clear, scholarly language that feels as though the thesis were originally written in German.
I will supply:
– The finalized English Word document.
– The bilingual style guide.
– Original LaTeX files for tables if you prefer to lift them directly.
Please let me know your estimated turnaround time and any specialised CAT tools or academic translation software you plan to use. A short test passage (≈250 words) may be requested so we can confirm alignment with the guide before you proceed with the full manuscript.
