$25-50 USD / hour

I have a 288-page Word manuscript that explains exciting new ways to heal depression. The text is meant to educate the general public, so I need a translation that stays literal to the author’s intent yet reads in a warm, conversational French—no stiff medical jargon, no machine output. Because accuracy is critical, I will invite you into the original document so you can work with Track Changes and comments. I meet weekly in French and would like the same level of fluency from you; we’ll speak regularly to clarify nuances, metaphors, cultural references, and any spots where English idioms need an equivalent French feel. You will be credited in the front matter as “French Translation Consultant” (or “Advisor,” if you prefer). I’m open to your suggestions on phrasing, formatting, or even small structural tweaks that improve readability for Francophone readers. Deliverables • The fully translated Word file, with all edits accepted and a clean final version. • A second copy showing Track Changes for my review. • Brief end-of-chapter notes when you feel extra explanation benefits the lay reader. Please confirm that you translate entirely by hand—no AI, CAT tools, or online engines—and that you can begin promptly. I look forward to collaborating and bringing this resource to French-speaking readers in the most natural, engaging way possible.

Your project stands out because it requires not only linguistic accuracy, but also emotional sensitivity and cultural nuance—especially for a subject as important as depression and healing. I understand the need for a translation that remains faithful to the author’s intent while sounding warm, natural, and conversational for French-speaking audiences. I am comfortable working directly in Word with Track Changes and comments, and I value active collaboration to ensure metaphors, idioms, and deeper meanings are preserved effectively. I can confirm that I work carefully and thoughtfully on each text, prioritizing quality and readability. I am available to begin promptly and can provide both a clean final version and a marked-up review copy, along with end-of-chapter notes where useful. I would be glad to contribute to making this manuscript impactful for Francophone readers. Best regards
