Formal English Translation of Children’s Stories
Budget: $8 – $15 CAD
I have a collection of short Spanish stories written for readers aged 9-12, and I need them rendered into precise, elegant English while preserving every cultural reference exactly as it appears in the originals. The tone must stay very formal—think textbook-quality prose rather than conversational narration—so vocabulary choice and sentence structure should reflect a refined register suitable for advanced young readers.
Each story is only a few pages long, yet accuracy is paramount: wording, rhythm, and any idiomatic turns must match the source text faithfully, without softening, localizing, or annotating cultural details. I’ll supply clean PDF versions; you can return the translations in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, formatted to mirror the original layout.
Before final hand-off, please proofread thoroughly for grammar, punctuation, and consistency. If you have experience translating children’s literature or academic texts for younger audiences, mention it along with a brief sample of similar work.
Accepted delivery:
• A separate, fully proofread Word or Google Doc for each story, ready for print or digital release.
