Bilingual English-Somali Content Editing -- 2
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have an educational manuscript that needs to resonate with a broad, non-specialist Somali audience. I’m looking for someone who can:
• Refine my original English text so it reads smoothly and engagingly.
• Translate that polished English into accurate, culturally adapted Somali.
• Perform a true bilingual edit—cross-checking both languages line by line to ensure meaning, tone, and style stay consistent.
• Lay out the final copy as camera-ready printed material, delivering a clean, professional document (Word and print-ready PDF).
The piece is educational in nature—think clear explanations, relatable examples, and a friendly tone suitable for the general public. I’ll supply the current English draft, any reference glossaries I have, and preferred style guidelines. You’ll return:
1. Revised English manuscript.
2. Fully translated Somali version.
3. Bilingual proof with tracked changes.
4. Print-ready layout with proper fonts, headings, and pagination.
Experience in Somali cultural adaptation and prior work on printed educational resources will make the collaboration smooth. If you can also suggest subtle visuals or layout improvements, that’s a plus, though not mandatory. Let me know your approach and estimated timeline for the full package.
