Spanish Translation for Children’s Book
Budget: $30 – $250 CAD
I have written a children’s book aimed at readers aged 8-12 and now need the entire manuscript rendered into clear, engaging Spanish. The English version is roughly 12,000 words spread across twelve chapters, with plenty of dialogue, humor, and a few word-plays that need thoughtful, culturally appropriate adaptation so young Spanish-speaking readers enjoy the same experience.
The job is straightforward: produce a polished Spanish manuscript that mirrors the original structure—chapter breaks, headings, and any short call-outs—while preserving the lively tone and reading level suitable for pre-teens. No poems or rhymes appear in the text, so the focus is purely on prose.
Deliverables
• A fully translated Word document matching the original layout
• A brief translator’s note flagging any unavoidable changes or cultural tweaks
Completion of a short sample (one page) will help ensure voice consistency before moving through the full translation. If you have previously translated middle-grade fiction, please mention it and, if possible, share a short excerpt.
Once the final file passes a quick language-quality check, the project is complete. I’m ready to send the manuscript as soon as we confirm timelines.
