Biography Book Translation Needed
Budget: ₹750 – ₹1,250 INR
I need a complete, publication-ready translation of a non-fiction biography manuscript. The original text will be supplied as an editable Word file; I will expect the finished work returned in the same format with identical layout, headings, and page breaks preserved.
Accuracy and nuance are critical—dates, names, places, and the author’s voice must remain intact while still reading naturally in the target language. Please build in a light copy-edit as you translate so the result is free of spelling or grammatical slips.
Deliverables
• Fully translated manuscript in Word (.docx)
• A clean version and a tracked-changes version showing any clarifying notes you feel the author should review
• Short translator’s note (one page) highlighting terms or passages that required special attention
Acceptance criteria
• Every line of the original text is accounted for and faithfully rendered
• Tone remains consistent with the source biography style
• File structure matches the original for hassle-free typesetting
If you have proven experience translating long-form biographies or other narrative non-fiction, let me know the title(s) you worked on and the languages involved. A brief sample—around one page—may be requested before I award the job.
