Arabic-English Translation with Localization
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have a body of general text that exceeds 5,000 words and needs to flow naturally in both Arabic and English. Beyond a straightforward translation, I want each version adapted to specific regional audiences, taking into account idiomatic usage, spelling variations, and any cultural references that might feel off-key in the wrong locale.
The source files are ready in editable format, and I can supply them as Word documents or Google Docs—whichever you prefer. I will indicate the target regions (e.g., Gulf, Levant, Egypt) once we start so you can fine-tune vocabulary, register, and examples for each. Consistency in tone and messaging across languages is essential; it should read as if originally written for the audience, not as a literal back-and-forth translation.
Please keep me updated on progress and flag any phrases that may need clarification. Final delivery should include:
• A clean, region-neutral master file in Arabic and English
• Separate localized versions for the specified regions, with all changes tracked or clearly highlighted
• A brief notes file explaining any culturally significant adaptations
If you have questions about style, dialect, or regional nuances, let’s discuss them up front so the first draft already feels right.
