English-Indonesian Fiction Book Translation -- 2
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
A complete English-language fiction book needs to be rendered into Bahasa Indonesia with a polished, formal tone. Accuracy and natural flow are equally important: every plot twist, cultural reference, and piece of dialogue must feel as if it were originally written in Indonesian while still reflecting the author’s intent.
You will be working from the full manuscript (digital, editable format). I expect consistent terminology, correct punctuation, and layout that mirrors the source file so the publisher can drop the translation straight into production. CAT tools or glossary management software are welcome if they help maintain consistency, but the final voice must sound authentically human.
To keep momentum, please share periodic excerpts so we can fine-tune style choices early rather than after the whole draft is done. I’m committed to prompt feedback and will request revisions only when something is clearly off; turnaround on small fixes should be quick. Every chapter will be reviewed against the original to ensure nuance, pacing, and character voice remain intact.
Deliverables:
• Clean, fully translated manuscript in .docx
• A version with Track Changes showing your edits
• Optional glossary of key terms or character names
The schedule is negotiable but meeting agreed deadlines is essential. If this aligns with your experience in fiction translation and you enjoy bringing stories to a new audience, I look forward to seeing how you can elevate this work for Indonesian readers.
