Short Story Translation EN-ID
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I have a collection of short stories that need to move smoothly between English and Indonesian without losing their creative flair, voice, or cultural nuance. The total word count is moderate—think magazine-length pieces rather than full anthologies—and each story relies on vivid imagery and dialogue that must feel natural in the target language.
You’ll receive the originals as editable DOCX files; please return each translated story in the same format with the layout intact. I’ll be doing side-by-side reviews, so fidelity to tone is just as important as literal meaning. Idiomatic expressions, puns, or culturally specific references should be adapted, not merely converted word-for-word.
Deliverable checklist
• Complete translation of all short stories (English→Indonesian or Indonesian→English as provided)
• Consistent voice, character naming, and tense choices across the collection
• Clean formatting in DOCX, ready for immediate publication
I’ll provide an initial 1,200-word piece as a trial; once that’s approved, the remaining stories will follow in batches. Let me know your turnaround time per 1,500 words and any previous creative translation samples you can share.
