Spanish Localisation — Elementary Chemistry Book

We are looking for a qualified Spanish translator to help us localise an elementary-level chemistry book from English into clear, accurate, and student-friendly Spanish.

The content is educational and foundational. The task is precise translation and localisation, not content creation. Translators must preserve scientific accuracy while adapting language so concepts remain easy to understand for beginners.

This is an open project with potential for multiple chapters and future editions.

CONTENT TYPE

Chapter titles and section headings

Short explanatory paragraphs

Definitions and key concepts

Simple examples and summaries

Diagrams captions and callouts

Review questions (non-problem-solving)

TOPICS INCLUDE

Matter and states of matter

Atoms, elements, and compounds

Basic chemical reactions

Acids, bases, and salts (introductory level)

Laboratory safety and everyday chemistry

LOCALISATION GUIDELINES

Neutral, international Spanish (LATAM preferred unless specified)

Age-appropriate, clear, and instructional tone

Maintain scientific accuracy and terminology

Use simple sentence structures for early learners

Avoid over-technical or university-level phrasing

Flag terms that differ by region and suggest standard alternatives

TARGET AUDIENCE

Spanish-speaking elementary or early secondary students

Beginner chemistry learners

Classroom and self-study readers

DELIVERABLES

Localised book content (Word / Google Docs / InDesign-compatible files)

Terminology consistency across chapters

Optional translator notes for terminology or pedagogical choices

Ideal candidates have experience translating STEM or educational materials and are comfortable adapting scientific content for young learners.
