Translate Children’s Stories Into English -- 2
Budget: $8 – $15 CAD
I have a collection of short children’s stories that I want rendered into clear, engaging English while preserving their original charm and rhythm. Each text is concise—only a few pages—and written in a playful, age-appropriate tone. Your task is to deliver polished English versions that read naturally for young readers, keep any simple rhymes intact, and offer gentle adjustments when cultural references need re-imagining for an English-speaking audience.
I’ll share the stories as soon as we start. Along with the translated text, please include brief translator’s notes whenever you adapt a phrase or idiom so I can see how meaning was maintained. Finished documents can be returned in either Google Docs or MS Word, whichever you prefer. If you have experience working with children’s literature, that will be a bonus, but what matters most is an ear for lively language and careful attention to detail.
Let me know your turnaround time for the first story, and we can set milestones for the rest.
