Arabic-French Literary Translation
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
I have between 10 and 50 pages of literary text that must be translated with great care between Arabic and French. This isn’t a straightforward word-for-word job; the imagery, rhythm, and subtle cultural references all need to flow naturally for the new readership while remaining faithful to the author’s intent.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
• A polished, publication-ready translation delivered in Word or PDF.
• Consistent voice and style that preserves metaphors, dialogue tone, and narrative pacing.
• Brief translator notes where wordplay or cultural nuance required creative adaptation.
Please send a detailed project proposal outlining:
• Your approach to literary translation (research methods, handling idioms, revision cycle).
• Estimated timeline for the full 10–50-page manuscript.
• Relevant samples or links that demonstrate similar work.
Native-level command of both Arabic and French and prior experience with novels, short stories, or poetry are strongly preferred.
