Academic Translation: English-Afaan Oromoo
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Several academic papers currently written in English need to be rendered faithfully into Afaan Oromoo. Because the material is scholarly, every term, citation, and nuance must stay intact while reading naturally to an Afaan Oromoo academic audience.
The source files arrive in Microsoft Word and, in a few cases, LaTeX. I will share glossaries and reference papers that clarify discipline-specific terminology; feel free to suggest improvements where wording is ambiguous. Consistency across papers is crucial, so using a CAT tool such as Trados or memoQ is welcome, provided the final files remain clean and publication-ready.
Deliverables
• A polished Afaan Oromoo version of each paper in the same format as received
• A bilingual copy with either tracked changes or a side-by-side layout for quick spot-checks
• One revision round after I review the draft
Acceptance criteria: zero untranslated segments, terminology aligned with the supplied references, no grammatical errors, and page layout mirroring the original.
Turnaround is flexible for quality, yet I prefer an initial draft of the first paper within a week so we can align on style before you proceed with the remaining documents.
