Spanish Story Translation for Preschoolers
Budget: $2 – $8 AUD
I have a lovingly written long children’s story that needs to reach a Spanish-speaking audience of 3- to 5-year-olds. I’m looking for a translator who can do more than convert words: the finished text must feel as though it was originally crafted in Spanish, with age-appropriate vocabulary, rhythm, and a warm, playful tone.
Alongside an accurate translation, I need you to weave in specific cultural references so young readers recognise familiar foods, holidays, and customs. I’ll provide a short list of references I’d like included; your task is to work them in naturally while preserving the plot and pacing.
Deliverable: a polished, publication-ready Spanish manuscript delivered as an editable Word or Google Docs file, plus a brief note explaining where and why each cultural element was introduced. Accuracy, creativity, and sensitivity to both cultures are essential, so please cite any idiomatic choices that may need my review.
If you have experience translating early-childhood literature or have samples that show a lively, child-centred voice, that will help me choose quickly. Looking forward to hearing how you would bring this story to life for young Spanish readers.
