Multilingual Story Proofreading New freelancers
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I have a completed story that has already been translated into several languages. Before I move on to publication, I want each version read line-by-line to catch spelling slips, grammar missteps, and any inconsistencies that may have crept in during translation. Your job is to polish every sentence so the narrative feels natural to native readers while preserving the voice and nuance of the original text.
Here is what I will provide:
• A clean digital copy of the manuscript in each language.
• A short list of recurring character names, places, and stylistic choices to maintain.
Here is what I need back from you:
• A fully marked-up document (Track Changes or equivalent) showing every correction.
• A final, clean version ready for publication.
• A brief note highlighting any translation issues that required more than simple proofreading.
If you are confident working across multiple languages and have a keen eye for consistency, let’s talk. Please mention the languages you are comfortable proofreading and include a short example of similar work you have completed.
