I have written a short Indonesian story together with my own English translation. The piece is designed for adult learners and is meant to deliver practical, immediately usable knowledge rather than abstract theory or heavy historical context. What I now need is a substantive edit in both languages. I’m asking you to: • Strengthen structure and flow so the narrative stays engaging while teaching the intended practical lessons. • Verify that every technical or how-to detail is accurate and clearly explained for an adult reader. • Preserve the Indonesian cultural flavour but ensure idioms, humour, and references make equal sense in English. • Flag any passages that feel repetitive or off-tone and suggest concise rewrites. • Return two clean, publication-ready files—one Indonesian, one English—plus a tracked-changes version so I can see every adjustment. Fluency in both Indonesian and English and experience editing bilingual or educational texts for adults will be essential. A background in instructional writing or curriculum material would be a bonus. If this sounds like your expertise, let’s refine the story together.

Bonjour, You've done something unusual here: written the Indonesian and produced your own English translation, so this is editing rather than translation. My priority would be keeping both versions teaching the same lesson in the same voice, and making sure the Indonesian flavour still lands in English without flattening the humour or idioms. Two things would help me anchor the work: - Roughly how long is the story (word count), and what practical subject does it cover? The how-to accuracy check depends heavily on the domain. - For the tracked-changes file, do you work in Word or Google Docs? Given the scope, you're comfortably within your budget; I'd confirm a firm figure once I know the length and subject. Delivery would be three days: two clean, publication-ready files plus the tracked version. Happy to talk it through whenever suits you. Best regards, Eric
