I have a collection of software-focused technical manuals in Kriolu that must be translated accurately into both Portuguese and English. Additionally, I require someone to translate from English to Kriolu and then create a voiceover of the translated text using text-to-speech in Kriolu. Consistency of terminology, preservation of code snippets, command-line examples, and any embedded UI strings is critical. This project requires a hybrid approach. The person should be available to meet physically at the headquarters in Cotonou (with remote work as well). You’ll be working directly from the original Kriolu source files (mostly Word and PDF). Reference glossaries and, where available, screenshots of the software interface will be provided to keep wording aligned with what users see onscreen. Deliverables: • Portuguese translations of each manual in the same layout and file format as the source. • English translations of each manual, also mirroring the original formatting. • A brief terminology sheet highlighting key software terms standardized across all languages. • Text-to-text translation for English to Kriolu with text-to-speech voice-overs delivered in high-quality audio files. Before starting the full project, a short sample passage needs to be translated for tone and terminology review. Once approved, we move on to the entire set. Accuracy, attention to detail, and an ability to meet timelines are key for success on this project.
