Translate Islamic Book (Fatawa Razawiya by Ala Hazrat) from Urdu to English
Budget: $5,000 – $10,000 USD
I'm seeking a translator to convert an Islamic book from Urdu into English. There are at least three books I need translated. This project is for the first one which is a large voluminous work called Fatawa Razawiya by Ala Hazrat. The translation needs to embody a spiritual and contemplative tone. This requires not just language skills, but also a deep understanding of the spiritual nuances of the text.
It is a large project. It consists of 30 volumes each of at least 500 pages.
