I have a 100-page literary / creative PDF in English that I’d like rendered into natural, flowing French. This is strictly for my own reading pleasure, so I’m not looking for publishing-grade localization; please keep the original cultural references intact rather than adapting them to French equivalents. What matters most is that the style, tone, imagery, and rhythm feel as engaging in French as they do in English.

The source file is a single, well-formatted PDF that mixes short prose passages with a handful of poems and a few black-and-white illustrations (no complex layouts). I need every word translated—title page, chapter headings, captions—while preserving basic formatting so I can follow along page by page.

Deliverables
• Complete French translation in an editable DOCX (or ODT) that mirrors the original structure
• A matching print-ready PDF export for effortless side-by-side reading
• A short translator’s note (one page max) highlighting any unavoidable nuances or wordplays that required clarification

Acceptance criteria
• Consistent literary voice across all chapters
• No omissions or machine-translation artefacts
• Pagination within ±1 page of the original

If you’re experienced with creative texts and comfortable handling a 100-page workload, I’d love to hear how quickly you can turn this around and any prior samples you can share.
