Translate English Musical Drama Script (with Lyrics) into Japanese

Job ID: 39792191

Budget: £750 – £1,500 GBP

I am looking for a translator to work on an English musical drama script that includes both dialogue and song lyrics. The goal is to produce a natural, clear, and emotionally resonant Japanese version that captures the meaning and feeling of the original text.

Project Details:

Source: English script (with lyrics)

Target: Japanese (for readability and performance reference)

Tone: Natural, expressive, and faithful to the original

Special Focus: Lyrics should be translated in a way that keeps rhythm and poetic flow whenever possible (not just literal translation).


Who Can Apply:

New freelancers are welcome to bid — enthusiasm and a good sense of language are valued.

Strong knowledge of English-to-Japanese translation required.

Familiarity with musical/theatrical language is a plus but not mandatory.


Deliverables:

Complete translated script in Japanese (Word or PDF format).

Notes/explanations for lyric choices, if necessary.


If you’re passionate about language and enjoy working with creative content, I’d love to see your bid. Please share a short sample of previous translation work (if available) or briefly explain your approach.
