Spanish-to-English Science Book Translation
Budget: $15 – $25 AUD
I have several non-fiction science titles written in Spanish that need to be rendered into clear, engaging English for a general-public readership. Each manuscript is laid out like a popular-science “story,” mixing factual explanation with narrative flair, so the tone must stay accessible while every technical term remains accurate.
What I need from you is the full translation of each book—front matter to index—delivered as an editable Word file that mirrors the original structure (headings, sub-headings, figure captions, footnotes, references). A native-level command of both languages and demonstrable experience translating science content are essential; I will ask for a short sample on the first chapter to confirm style and precision.
Key deliverables
• Complete English manuscript for the first title (≈45,000 words)
• Consistent glossary of technical terms
• Chapter-level files so I can review in stages
I handle layout and design in-house, so focus solely on language. Turnaround for the initial book is four weeks from project start, with more titles to follow if we work well together.
