Spanish Children’s Story Translation
Budget: $10 – $30 CAD
I have several short Spanish stories written for young children that I need rendered into clear, engaging English. Each piece should read naturally to an English-speaking child while preserving every cultural element—festivals, foods, sayings and character names must remain intact rather than localised. The overall voice should be educational: simple sentences, precise vocabulary and a gentle explanatory tone that helps a child learn new concepts without turning the text into a lesson plan.
For every story I will supply the Spanish original in a Word document. Please return:
• An English version in the same file format, paragraph-aligned with the source so I can review your choices easily.
• Brief translator’s notes only where a cultural reference might puzzle a young reader, offering a one-line gloss rather than substituting or omitting it.
Accuracy, consistency and a fluent child-friendly flow are the priorities. If this first batch goes smoothly there will be more stories to follow.
