Spanish Translation: Personal Development Books
Budget: $2 – $8 AUD
I’m looking for a skilled Spanish translator to convert a collection of self-help books focused on personal development into smooth, engaging Spanish that resonates with adult readers aged 37 and above. The project is strictly for my own personal use, so faithfulness to the author’s voice, warmth and motivational tone is more important to me than meeting a commercial style guide.
What I need from you is a complete, polished Spanish manuscript for each title—cleanly formatted, proofread, and ready for me to enjoy on my e-reader. The original texts use everyday language, occasional anecdotes and a friendly, coach-like tone; I’d like all of that carried over naturally. Technical jargon is minimal, but nuanced word choice matters because these books lean heavily on mindset shifts and subtle emotional cues.
Please have solid experience translating self-help or related non-fiction, and feel comfortable matching the clarity and energy that personal development writing demands. If you have edited or localized similar material before, let me know; that insight is a definite plus.
Deliverables:
• A final Spanish version of each book in an editable file (DOCX or Google Docs)
• A proofed PDF mirroring the original layout for easy reading
• A short translator’s note (one page max) highlighting any concepts that required cultural adaptation
Turnaround is flexible, but let me know your realistic timeline per 10,000 words so I can plan the reading order.
