English-Spanish Storybook Translation
Budget: $250 – $750 NZD
I have a short, 24-page picture book for preschoolers (ages 3-5) that teaches basic shapes and colours through a friendly classroom adventure. The text is in English, and I need it rendered into Spanish that feels natural, musical, and instantly understandable to native-speaking toddlers while preserving the gentle educational tone.
Because the lines are brief and rhythmic, you’ll need to carry over the cadence and any playful word choices that support early learning. When a literal translation sounds stiff, please adapt the phrase so the meaning stays clear and engaging for little ears.
Timing is critical—I’d like the finished draft back within the next 48 hours so the illustrator can drop the Spanish copy straight into the layout.
Deliverables
• Editable Word or Google Docs file with English lines followed by their Spanish equivalents.
• A short note flagging any cultural tweaks or wording choices you made.
I’ll review your work with a native Spanish-speaking teacher for accuracy, age appropriateness, and flow; quick revisions may be requested before sign-off. Experienced children’s-book translators will have an edge, and a smooth collaboration here could turn into a whole series.
