Indonesian Book Translation to English - 02/12/2025 10:57 EST
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I am preparing an Indonesian-language book for an international release and need it rendered into clear, natural English while preserving the original tone and style. The manuscript is already fully edited in Bahasa Indonesia; your task is to deliver an English version ready for publishing in both print and e-book formats.
You will work directly from the source file I supply (Word or Google Docs, your choice) and return a fluent, culturally accurate translation that keeps the author’s voice intact. Familiarity with long-form narrative flow, idiomatic nuance, and basic layout conventions for e-books will be highly valued. If you have handled Indonesian-to-English book projects before, please mention a title or two so I can gauge fit.
Deliverables:
• Complete English manuscript, matched chapter-for-chapter with the original
• Consistent terminology and character names throughout
• Formatting that mirrors the source (headings, footnotes, simple styles)
I will review each chapter as you progress, give feedback on tone or terminology, and release milestones accordingly. Let me know your estimated turnaround time for the full text and any supporting tools (Trados, MemoQ, or CAT of your choice) you intend to use. I look forward to collaborating on a smooth, faithful English edition of this work.
