Chinese transliteration of Modern Manuscripts
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I am working with a set of modern-era manuscripts and need them rendered into precise, publication-ready Chinese to support ongoing academic research. Faithfully conveying tone, terminology, and any original annotations is critical, as scholars will rely on the translation for citation and analysis.
Source files arrive as clear PDFs; most pages are typed, though a few include marginal handwritten notes. Please mirror the original pagination and formatting conventions so that future cross-referencing remains effortless. Where the source uses specialized terminology, supply an unobtrusive translator’s note or bracketed clarification rather than paraphrasing.
Deliverables
• A fully translated Word document for each manuscript, matching original page breaks
• A parallel bilingual PDF (source on left, Chinese on right) to aid researchers
• A short glossary compiling repeated key terms and any disputed renderings
I appreciate accuracy over speed but will phase the work by manuscript; we can review one batch, confirm style, then proceed. Let me know about relevant experience with academic or archival translation and your estimated turnaround for the first 10,000 words.
