Spanish Children’s Story Translation
Budget: $10 – $20 NZD
I have a small collection of original Spanish stories written for readers aged 9-12 that I now want to share with an English-speaking audience. Your task is to turn the existing manuscripts into clear, lively English while keeping the tone, humor, and reading level appropriate for middle-grade kids.
You’ll work directly from the Spanish text I supply (Word files), returning each story in a matching Word document with all headings, paragraph breaks, and dialogue formatting preserved. Cultural references that might puzzle an English reader should be adapted or briefly explained in-line so the flow never feels interrupted.
Accuracy matters, but I don’t want a word-for-word rendition; the goal is a natural story that sounds as though it were originally written in English, still faithful to the original intent and plot. I will start by sending one short story so we can confirm style, then move on to the rest. If you enjoy creative translation and understand what captivates pre-teens, I’d love to work together.
