Translate Spanish Short Stories
Budget: €6 – €12 EUR
I have a collection of Spanish-language short stories that I’d like to enjoy and share in English. I need clean, accurate translations that read smoothly while keeping the original’s formal narrative voice.
For cultural touches, please strike a balance: adapt references that would puzzle most English-speaking readers, yet leave key cultural markers intact so the stories still feel unmistakably Spanish. Think of it as guiding the reader rather than rewriting the setting.
You’ll receive the stories in Word files (each 1,500–3,000 words). Return each piece in a parallel document: Spanish on the left, English on the right, or clearly separated sections—whichever you prefer, as long as it’s easy to cross-check.
Quality matters more than speed. Literal, machine-style output won’t work; nuance, idiom, and consistency are essential. If a phrase feels ambiguous, flag it with a brief comment instead of guessing. I plan to review each story as it comes back, so feel free to deliver them one by one.
Looking forward to reading my favorite tales in English without losing their original elegance.
