Children’s Storybook Spanish Translation
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I have a lively children’s story aimed at readers aged 9-12 that now needs to shine just as brightly in Spanish. Because the prose is packed with playful word-choices, subtle humour, and a few educational references, every sentence has to feel natural to young native readers—no literal, flat renderings.
What I need from you:
• A line-by-line translation from the current manuscript (≈ 10,000 words) into polished Spanish.
• Careful preservation of voice, rhythm, and age-appropriate vocabulary.
• A brief comment on any cultural references that might confuse Spanish-speaking kids so we can tweak or localise them together.
• Delivery of a clean, proof-read Word or Google Docs file, laid out to mirror the original page breaks and dialogue tags.
I’m juggling several titles in this series, so meeting the agreed timeline is key; if this first book goes smoothly there will be follow-up assignments waiting. No specific dialect is mandatory—Castilian, Latin American, or a clear neutral register are all welcome provided the result reads smoothly for children across the Spanish-speaking world.
Native-level fluency, previous work in children’s literature, and an eye for narrative detail will move your proposal to the top of the pile. Let me know your turnaround time and a short sample of comparable work, and we’ll get started right away.
