English-Sinhalese Translation
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have a plain UTF-8 text file of general-interest content that runs well past the 5,000-word mark and I need it rendered accurately into natural, contemporary Sinhalese. Because the material is not technical or legal, tone and readability matter more than jargon; idiomatic flow is key.
You will work directly in the supplied text file, keeping all paragraph breaks and any inline markers exactly where they sit so I can drop the finished document straight back into our system without extra formatting. I am happy if you use CAT tools such as Trados or MemoQ on your side for consistency, but please do not rely on raw machine output—the final copy must read as if originally written in Sinhalese.
Deliverable
• Fully translated Sinhalese text file, encoded in UTF-8, mirroring the structure of the source.
Acceptance criteria
• Every English segment replaced with fluent Sinhalese while preserving meaning and nuance.
• No untranslated text or formatting anomalies.
• Final file passes a quick spot check for common MT tell-tales.
If you are a native speaker with proven experience on projects of this size, I would love to see a short portfolio snippet or link when you place your bid.
