I have a 300-page entrepreneurship book in English that needs to be rendered into fluent Brazilian Portuguese and delivered no later than 26 September. The original text is written for an academic audience—think peer-reviewed journal thoroughness rather than a light airport read—so the translation must preserve that formal, rigorous tone while still reading naturally to Portuguese-speaking scholars, MBA students, and executives. Because the manuscript weaves together established management theory with fresh research findings, I need someone who can comfortably shift between precise, discipline-specific jargon and clear, accessible explanations. In practice, that means maintaining key technical terms exactly where needed yet opting for polished everyday language when the source text does the same. If you hold a PhD, have conducted management research, or have translated academic work before, you will find the material familiar and the expectations straightforward. Scope of work and hand-off expectations: • Translate the full 300 pages, mirroring structure, headings, and citations. • Supply a concise bilingual glossary highlighting terms you chose to keep in English or adapted with footnotes. • Return the final manuscript in Microsoft Word, ready for copy-editing, with tracked changes turned off and pagination matching the source. I will be available throughout the project to clarify concepts or approve terminology choices. Accuracy, consistency, and on-time delivery on 26 September are critical—successful completion will likely lead to additional volumes already in the pipeline.

Hello, My husband and I are interested in translating your 300-page entrepreneurship manuscript into fluent Brazilian Portuguese. Working as a two-person team allows us to divide the workload while maintaining consistent terminology, style, and formatting throughout the document. I am a Senior Quality Analyst with over four years of experience reviewing detailed documentation, identifying inconsistencies, following structured requirements, and performing thorough quality checks. I will coordinate the project and conduct the final review. We will preserve the manuscript’s formal academic tone, headings, citations, footnotes, technical terminology, structure, and pagination. We will also provide the requested bilingual glossary and deliver the final document in Microsoft Word, ready for copy-editing. We are available to begin immediately, and our proposed price is €750. Before confirming delivery by 26 September, could you please provide the total word count and a short sample? This will allow us to assess the complexity and confirm the schedule. We can provide progress updates and deliver completed sections in milestones. We would also be happy to translate a short sample before being hired. Best regards, Rafaela Monteiro
