Academic Story Translation to English
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I have a collection of short academic-style stories that need to be rendered into smooth, idiomatic English. Each text runs between 500 and 1,000 words and, while they follow scholarly themes, they rely on straightforward language rather than heavy jargon.
Your task is to carry the meaning, tone and subtle narrative flow into English, avoiding literal word-for-word output. I am happy for you to work with a preferred CAT tool or glossary, but the final copy must read as if it were originally written in English.
Acceptance criteria
• One clean, proofread Word or Google-Doc file per story
• No omissions or additions to the source content
• Natural academic register appropriate for international readers
Please include a brief note about your experience with literary or academic translation and your estimated turnaround per 1,000 words when you respond.
