I have a fiction novella written entirely in Telugu—roughly between twenty and a hundred standard A4 pages—that I want rendered faithfully in English. The piece relies on a conversational, literary tone, so I’m looking for someone who can preserve voice, rhythm, and cultural nuance rather than provide a literal, word-for-word swap. You’ll be working from a clean, legible PDF and I can supply chapter summaries plus any clarifications you might need on idioms or regional references. Please translate directly into a DOCX file, mirroring the original structure (chapters, section breaks, any embedded quotes). Acceptance criteria: • Natural-sounding English that reads like an original work, not a translation • All plot points, dialogue subtleties, and stylistic devices retained • Consistent character names and terminology throughout the manuscript • Final file delivered in editable DOCX, accompanied by a brief translator’s note outlining any tricky passages or cultural concepts that required adaptation If you can share a short sample of comparable literary translation, that will help me gauge fit. I’m ready to start as soon as we agree on timeframe.

Before quoting a firm number: the page range (20 to 100 pages) makes a big difference in scope and timeline. Can you confirm the actual length? Also, a short sample page or the opening of the first chapter would help me assess the register and density of the prose before we start. Telugu literary fiction can range from lean dialogue-heavy narrative to dense descriptive passages, and that affects both the approach and turnaround. My focus will be on voice and readability, not word-for-word accuracy. Dialogue gets rendered for rhythm first, then meaning. Cultural markers that have no English equivalent get a brief inline gloss or a translator's note entry, whichever is less disruptive to the reading experience. Deliverable: DOCX mirroring original structure, plus translator's note flagging adaptation choices for passages where the Telugu idiom required creative handling. Rate: INR 1,500 for up to 20 pages. For the full range we can agree per-page after I see the sample. Valerii
