Ongoing support for literary content in several languages.

What this service involves

Ongoing support for literary content in several languages. This work sits within our translation & localization practice, and is shaped around the particular manuscript in front of us rather than a fixed template.

Literary translation is writing. We treat it that way: tone, register and rhythm are considered alongside meaning, and translated text is edited to the same standard as original work.

Questions

Before you begin.

How do we begin with multilingual content support?
You send us the work, or a description of it, through the manuscript submission form or by email. We read it, ask any questions we have, and come back with a proposed scope, timeline and fee before anything is committed.
How long does it take?
It depends on length, condition and the scale of the work involved. We give you a specific timeline once we have seen the material, and we hold to it.
Will the work still sound like me?
Yes. Translation work at InkStone is built around your intentions. We explain our reasoning, raise queries rather than quietly rewriting, and leave the final decisions with you.
What does it cost?
Fees are quoted per project rather than from a price list, because manuscripts differ enormously. Tell us about your work and we will give you a clear, itemised quote.
