German Translation: Pilates Student Manuals
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have a set of highly detailed Pilates student manuals, rich with anatomy explanations and instructional diagrams, that must be translated from English into flawless, natural-sounding German. These books are used for trainee preparation, so every cue, safety note, and step-by-step illustration has to read as if it were written natively, with all captions, labels and call-outs correctly localised and matched to the artwork.
Source files are already laid out; I can supply both the editable originals (InDesign/Word) and reference PDFs. I need you to:
• Translate the full text, including diagram captions and any embedded terminology tables, preserving formatting.
• Keep all technical Pilates terms consistent—ideally by creating a mini glossary as you go.
• Return a clean German InDesign/Word file plus a ready-to-share PDF for each manual.
I am on a tight timetable, so let me know how quickly you can handle an initial batch of pages and your suggested workflow (e.g., Trados, memoQ, or direct in InDesign). Accuracy, tone and respect for existing page design are the priorities; speed is a close second. If this first round goes smoothly, I have more supplementary materials waiting.
