Translate Spanish Story for Children
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
I have a delightful Spanish children’s tale that runs about 6-20 pages and is aimed squarely at readers aged 6-8. I need the full text rendered into clear, engaging English while keeping the rhythm, humour and age-appropriate vocabulary intact.
Whenever a cultural reference pops up that might puzzle an English-speaking child, please rework it so the meaning lands naturally without feeling forced—think swapping an unfamiliar idiom or holiday for something children in the US or UK would instantly recognise. If a direct swap would weaken the scene, I’d rather see a brief, child-friendly explanation woven into the line than a literal note outside the text.
Final file can be a clean Word or Google Doc with the English text only; any illustration captions that appear in the original should be translated in place. I’ll provide the Spanish manuscript as soon as we start, and I’m happy to answer quick context questions along the way so the tone stays playful and age-appropriate from cover to cover.
