I have a 10,000-word English romance manuscript that needs to be rendered faithfully into Simplified Chinese. The story is contemporary, light-hearted, and dialogue-driven; I want readers in Mainland China to feel as though the novel was originally written for them. Expect idiomatic phrasing, culturally appropriate references, and natural-sounding conversations rather than a literal, word-for-word conversion.

You will receive the complete English file in Word. Return the finished Simplified Chinese version in the same format, keeping all chapter headings and paragraph breaks intact so I can drop it straight into layout.

Deliverables
• One Word document containing the full 10,000-word translation in Simplified Chinese
• A brief translator’s note flagging any passages that required localisation choices or cultural adaptation

Acceptance criteria
• Smooth, error-free prose that reads like native fiction
• Consistent character voices and romantic tone preserved
• No machine-translation residue; I will run spot checks for style consistency

Please let me know your estimated turnaround time and any relevant romance or literary samples you have translated before we begin.
