Translate French Stories EN/ES
Budget: $30 – $60 NZD
I have a collection of French-language short stories that together run well past the 10,000-word mark. I need each story rendered into two fully polished versions—one in English, one in Spanish—ready for an adult readership. Nuance, idiomatic flow, and fidelity to the author’s intent are essential; these pieces explore mature themes and subtle humour, so literal, word-for-word conversion will not work.
You will receive the originals in DOCX. For every story, return:
• an English DOCX mirroring the original layout
• a Spanish DOCX mirroring the original layout
Please keep paragraph breaks, headings, and any embedded quotations exactly where they are so typesetting on my side stays painless. If you work with CAT tools such as Trados, memoQ, or Wordfast, great—just be sure the final files are clean and tag-free.
Before delivery, read through both versions once more for consistency, tone, and grammar; I won’t be running an extra proofreading stage, so final copy should be publication-ready.
I’m happy to answer stylistic questions as you translate and can send reference glossaries if helpful. Let me know your turnaround time for the full set and any experience you have with fiction or literary translation.
