Adult Romance Story Translation
Budget: $2 – $8 AUD
I have a collection of Spanish-language romance short stories, each running no more than five pages, and I need them rendered into natural, engaging English. The tone is mature but tasteful, so the final text must feel fluid to adult readers while respecting the original passion and nuance.
Accuracy comes first, yet I do want cultural references handled with care: some should stay intact to preserve atmosphere, others will need a light adaptation when the original context would confuse an English-speaking audience. I’ll rely on your judgment scene by scene, so proven experience translating fiction—or better still, romance—will help you make those calls confidently.
For each story I’ll supply a clean Word file; you’ll return an English version in the same format, keeping paragraph breaks and any dialogue punctuation intact. Please flag any idioms or wordplays that required creative rewriting so I can see how you approached them.
A polished, idiomatic result, free of grammatical slips, is what will mark the job complete. If this first batch goes smoothly, I have plenty more stories waiting in the wings.
