Retyping & Translation Specialist - $1,700
Budget: $1,699 – $1,700 USD
Budget: USD $1,700
I have a batch of documents that first need to be retyped with absolute fidelity and then translated into the target language. Source files arrive in mixed formats—some are clean PDFs, others are legacy Word files, and a few are scans that will require light OCR cleanup—so you should be equally comfortable reconstructing layout and catching typographical nuances before you ever begin translating.
Because the subject matter ranges from straightforward correspondence to sections that lean toward legal, marketing, and technical language, I need someone who can recognise tone shifts and adapt accordingly. Cultural nuance is critical; I’m not looking for word-for-word output but for text that feels as if it were originally written in the target language. If you routinely work in major European pairs such as English-Spanish, English-French, or English-German, that will be ideal, yet I remain open to other combinations you can confidently support.
Your workflow might involve OCR tools, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, or a preferred CAT solution—whatever helps you deliver transparent accuracy and consistent terminology is fine by me, provided the final files return to me in an editable, publication-ready state.
Deliverables
• Clean, fully retyped source text that mirrors original formatting
• Professionally translated version, proof-checked and culturally adapted
• A brief glossary or comment file explaining any critical terminology choices
I’m ready to start as soon as you are, and I’m happy to break the job into milestones so we can review quality early on. Let me know which language pair(s) you cover best and share a concise sample of similar work so I can gauge fit.
