Telugu Fiction Translation
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I need a faithful, engaging English rendering of my Telugu fiction manuscript, roughly 50–200 pages (about 10k–50k words). The narrative is character-driven and relies on cultural nuance, so preserving tone, idiom, and rhythm is more important than word-for-word literalism. A strong literary voice in English, familiarity with contemporary Telugu prose, and sensitivity to regional references are essential.
Please work in Microsoft Word or Google Docs so I can leave inline comments. For any idioms or culture-specific phrases that resist direct translation, add a brief translator’s note so the flow stays clear to the general reader.
Deliverables:
• Complete English manuscript in the original layout (Word/Docs)
• Short glossary or footnotes for key cultural terms (if needed)
• One-page summary of any translation choices that significantly depart from the literal wording
I will review a short sample—about two pages—before we proceed with the full draft to make sure the voice matches my expectations. Let me know your estimated turnaround time and any questions about plot, dialect, or stylistic preferences so we can keep revisions to a minimum.
