Museum Brochure Translator (English → Spanish) – Open Art History Project

We’re building a flexible, open translation team to convert English museum brochures (exhibition guides, visitor info) into natural, engaging Spanish for global audiences. No specialized art expertise needed—just a sharp eye for clear, culturally adapted text!

Why This Stands Out on Freelancer.com:
Open Project = Flexible Work – Claim 1 brochure or 10+ (your choice!).
Low Pressure – Basic art history terms only (no PhD required).
Portfolio Boost – Perfect for translators entering cultural/localization fields.

Your Role:
✔ Adapt & Translate:

Convert informational texts (e.g., "Opening hours" → "Horario de visita").

Simplify art terms (e.g., "impressionist brushwork" → "pincelada impresionista").

✔ Cultural Tweaks:

Localize humor/tone (Spanish-speaking visitors ≠ direct translations).

Flag sensitive content (e.g., colonial-era artifacts).

✔ Formatting:

Maintain clean layouts (headings, bullet points).

Use LatAm/Spain variants (specify preference).

Ideal Candidate:
Native Spanish + C1+ English (tested on museum/gallery texts).

Basic art familiarity (submit 1 sample translation).

Detail-oriented – Catch false friends like "actual" (EN) ≠ "actual" (ES).

Bonus:

Experience with Canva/InDesign (to match brochure designs).

Knowledge of pre-Columbian/Renaissance art (for niche projects).
