Story Translation to Swahili -- 2
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I have a narrative story that I would like rendered naturally and accurately in Swahili. The source text is already finalised; what I need from you is a polished Swahili version that preserves the tone, pacing and imagery of the original rather than a literal, word-for-word conversion.
A few specifics to keep in mind
• Audience: general readers, so the language should be vivid yet accessible.
• Nuance: please localise idioms and cultural references where appropriate while remaining faithful to the meaning.
• Format: deliver the final file in the same structure and paragraph breaks as the source (I’ll supply it in Word).
I will review the first few pages as an early milestone to make sure the voice matches what I’m after, then we can proceed with the rest. If you have experience translating fiction or creative writing into Swahili and can share a short sample, that will help me decide quickly.
Yes
