Children’s Book Translation Needed
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I need my children’s book for readers aged 8–12 translated accurately while keeping its playful tone and age-appropriate vocabulary intact. The story relies on simple sentence structures, gentle humor, and clear moral lessons, so I’m counting on you to carry those nuances across cultures without sounding mechanical or overly formal.
You’ll receive the full manuscript in an editable file along with a brief author’s note that explains character names, puns, and cultural references. I’m happy to clarify anything along the way; collaboration is welcome because I want the final text to read as if it was originally written in the target language.
Deliverables – please supply:
• A fully translated manuscript in the same layout and paragraph breaks as the original (editable DOCX)
• A short, engaging back-cover blurb in the target language
• A glossary of any key terms or creative word choices you feel need explanation
I’ll review the translation chapter by chapter and provide quick feedback so you can adjust tone or vocabulary before moving on. If you’ve previously translated middle-grade fiction or comics, please mention it; examples help me gauge style. Let’s bring this story to a new audience together!
