English-Spanish Academic Book Translation
Budget: $250 – $750 CAD
My humanities research monograph—currently ±70,000 words in English—needs to be rendered into clear, publication-ready Spanish. The text is an academic research publication, so precision, faithfulness to scholarly tone, and consistent terminology are critical. Footnotes, citations, tables, and any embedded figures’ captions must remain intact and properly localized.
Here is how I picture the workflow and final hand-off:
• Complete translation of the full manuscript in Microsoft Word, preserving the original formatting and heading hierarchy.
• A bilingual terminology sheet created while you work, so I can verify key concepts before final delivery.
• All edits tracked for easy review, with a clean version supplied once revisions are approved.
Acceptance criteria
1. Terminology aligns with standard humanities scholarship in Spanish-speaking academia.
2. Citations match the original style guide (Chicago author-date) without introducing errors.
3. Readability is peer-review level; machine-translation artifacts will be rejected.
If you have previous experience translating peer-reviewed humanities works—or can point me to published samples—that will make evaluation straightforward. Please let me know your estimated timeline for the full draft and for a subsequent revision round once I provide feedback.
