Expected duration: 1 - 6 months I am seeking an experienced translator or someone building their portfolio to translate a rare Bulgarian book published in 1885 into high-quality academic English. A postgraduate student in history/languages is acceptable and uses AI tools but able to carefully review and correct output is acceptable.
The text is written in pre-1945 Bulgarian orthography and concerns historical and political themes relating to Macedonia in the late 19th century. Accuracy, nuance, and sensitivity to historical terminology are essential and will be reviewed and edited after.
Requirements: Strong command of both Bulgarian and English Ability to read older Bulgarian spelling Careful review for accuracy Consistent terminology Footnotes and formatting to be retained No unnecessary modernisation of terminology
Length: Approx. 133 pages Rough Estimated word count: 35,000–45,000 words Language: Bulgarian (19th-century orthography) → English Subject: Historical / Political / National Revival period Format: Scanned PDF (clear, readable)
Deliverables: Fully translated manuscript in Word format Clean, proofread English Consistent terminology throughout Optional: translator’s notes where clarification is necessary
This work is in the public domain. Upon completion and payment, full translation rights will transfer to me.
I am looking for quality and precision rather than just machine-assisted output. This project may lead to further collaboration if completed to a high standard.
I have attached two pages as a sample of the text that will need to be translated. If you are interested in doing this project, please translate one paragraph from the images with your credentials and other relevant information.
