I have an entire book in Indonesian that now has to reach an English-speaking audience. The task is strictly penerjemahan bahasa, covering approximately 55,000 words (about 200 pages). You will work from the original, fully-edited Indonesian manuscript and deliver a fluent, idiomatic English version ready for layout.
Scope
• Translate every chapter, table, and footnote from Indonesian to English.
• Preserve tone, style, and any cultural nuances that matter to the narrative.
• Supply the final file in both editable Word (.docx) and clean PDF for review.
Acceptance criteria
1. Page-by-page accuracy: meaning retained, no machine-translation artefacts.
2. Consistent terminology across the entire manuscript.
3. Zero spelling or grammar errors in the English copy.
4. Delivery meets the agreed milestones—typically by chapter.
If you have a strong record translating books or long-form texts from Indonesia into English, I look forward to reading your proposal that outlines past work, timeline, and your approach to quality control.
