Translate Spanish Book for Adults
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I have a complete Spanish-language book that I want to bring to an English-speaking, adult audience. Your task is to render the full manuscript into clear, engaging English while preserving the author’s tone, pacing, and intent. I will supply the original text as a Word document and expect the finished translation returned in the same format, mirroring chapter breaks and basic layout so that it is ready for copy-editing and design.
Because the readership is adult, nuance matters—subtle humor, complex sentence structures, and cultural references should all feel natural to a mature English reader. I’m happy to answer contextual questions along the way, and I can provide short excerpts for a quick test passage if that helps us confirm style before you move forward with the complete work.
Deliverables
• Full English manuscript in .docx, matching the source structure
• A brief translator’s note highlighting any culturally specific choices or terms that required adaptation
• Up to two revision passes after my review for fine-tuning tone or clarity
Acceptance criteria
The final file must read smoothly to a native English adult, capture the meaning and mood of the original chapters, and be free of machine-translation artifacts.
If you have a strong portfolio in literary or long-form nonfiction translation and can commit to an agreed timeline, I’d love to collaborate with you on this project.
