I have several English-language articles that need to be rendered into clear, natural Indonesian. The texts are general-interest pieces—no specialised medical, legal, or highly technical terminology—so the focus is on accuracy, fluid reading, and preserving the original tone. Scope • Source length: a few articles totalling roughly 8,000–10,000 words (exact word count will be shared once we start). • I will supply editable Word documents; please return translated files in the same layout and format. • A short, 150-word sample translation will be required so we can confirm style and consistency before moving to the full batch. Acceptance criteria • Faithful meaning with smooth Indonesian phrasing. • No machine-translation tell-tales; I will review for idiomatic flow. • Delivery in two milestones: first half, then final half, each proof-read by you. If you have experience translating books or articles and can keep the voice engaging for Indonesian readers, I’m ready to get started right away.

Hello, I’m interested in translating your English general-interest articles into clear, natural, and engaging Indonesian while preserving the original meaning and tone. For transparency, I will use AI-assisted translation tools during the process. However, I will personally review, refine, and proofread every section to improve accuracy, remove unnatural machine-translation phrasing, and maintain consistent terminology and style. I will also preserve the layout and formatting of the original Word documents. I can provide the requested 150-word sample first and complete the project in two carefully proofread milestones. I’m ready to begin as soon as you share the source files.
