Hindi Literary Article Translation

I have a Hindi literary article that falls between 500 – 1,000 words and I need it translated into polished, idiomatic English for academic use. The original text relies on nuance, imagery, and a distinct narrative voice, so I’m looking for someone who can carry those literary devices across languages without losing subtle cultural references or stylistic flair.

Accuracy is important, but so is readability; the English version will be cited in an academic paper, so the tone must remain faithful to the original while meeting scholarly standards. If the Hindi contains wordplay, metaphors, or historical references, please provide a brief translator’s note in parentheses or as footnotes so readers can grasp the context.

Deliverables:
• A clean English translation in .docx or Google Doc format
• Optional footnotes or marginal notes explaining culturally specific phrases or imagery
• A short statement (2-3 sentences) confirming your translation approach and any adaptation choices you made

I’ll supply the source text as soon as we agree to proceed and will be available for quick clarifications during the job.
