Translate job

English, Spanish — incorrectly specified categories?

Project description:

A translation of a book from Ukrainian to English in the genre of popular psychology is needed.

The text is written in a lively, understandable language, without complex scientific terminology.

I expect a translation that sounds natural to a native English speaker.

Volume:

About 147,000 characters with spaces (approximately 125,000 without spaces).

Approximately 25,000–27,000 words or 90–100 pages (Times New Roman, 11 pt, 1.15 spacing).

Translation requirements:

1. Preserve the author's style and psychological intonation of the text.

2. Correct, smooth English without calques and artificial constructions.

3. Using automatic tools (DeepL, ChatGPT, etc.) is allowed, but the translation must be carefully edited manually.

4. The text must be suitable for publication (Amazon Kindle, etc.).

5. File format – .docx or .txt.

Preferred:

– Experience in translating non-fiction or psychological literature.

– Availability of a portfolio or translation samples.

– Willingness to complete a test fragment (up to 1 page).

Deadline:

Approximately 2–4 weeks, can work in stages (for example, by chapters).

Budget:

Please indicate the price if it differs from mine.

What is needed from the performer:

– Examples of previous work (or a short test translation).

– Estimated deadlines.

– Final cost and method of calculation.

Good day! Thank you for the detailed project description — the task is clear.
I have experience in translating non-fiction texts, particularly in the field of psychology and self-help, focusing on natural sounding English for native speakers and preserving the author's intonation. I work with texts intended for publication (including for Amazon Kindle), with mandatory manual editing after using auxiliary tools.
🔹 Deadlines: realistically — 3–4 weeks, phased submission by chapters is possible.
🔹 Format: .docx / .txt — no problem.
🔹 Test fragment: I am ready to perform a test translation of up to 1 page.
🔹 Cost: 400 dollars.
The calculation method is per word / per 1,000 characters (I can adapt to your format).
I can send examples of previous translations or perform a test task — whichever is more convenient for you.
I look forward to collaborating!
Best regards,
Zhenya
