French Translation ‑ Youth Realist Novella
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
I have a concise, sub-100-page manuscript that blends straight-up realism with a touch of historical fiction, written expressly for young readers and purposefully steering clear of magical-realism devices. I now need the entire work rendered into natural, engaging French that feels as contemporary and grounded as the original.
A few details to guide the translation:
• Tone & Audience
The narrative uses plain, vivid language alongside bits of youth-culture slang. Those expressions must sound authentic to French teens without losing nuance or drifting into adult formality.
• Historical Elements
Real events and period references appear throughout the story. Please preserve factual accuracy while adapting any time-specific phrasing so it rings true in French.
Deliverables
1. A clean, publication-ready French manuscript in .docx (or Google Doc) format.
2. A short glossary noting any tricky youth-culture terms you adapted and why, so I can review choices easily.
3. One round of post-delivery tweaks based on my feedback.
If you love capturing voice and can switch effortlessly between contemporary teen slang and historically grounded passages, this project should be a great fit.
