Your literary work is the result of your dedication and creative effort. With ALTA’s book translation services, you can translate your work into as many foreign languages as you’d like, ensuring it reaches audiences around the world. Our expert translators are skilled in retaining the nuances of your work and your writing style so readers can experience your writing as intended. We can handle fiction and non-fiction literary works, as well as children’s books. For those in need of only excerpt translations, ALTA is also capable of translating individual pages of a book instead of whole works.
Languages
When your book undergoes a literary translation, it becomes available to readers of different cultures. As part of our services, ALTA is mindful of the cultural adaptations necessary for successful literary translation. We use native speakers of the target language who reside in the country for which the works are written, ensuring the translators can alert you to any red flags that would not be appropriate in the target culture. ALTA’s roster of skilled translators covers many languages. View our languages page to see a selection of our language offerings.
Nuance
At ALTA, we understand that literary translation has the potential to be difficult because of the specific nature of language. We know some words do not translate accurately, or that others simply do not exist in the translated language. A literary translation should not mean a literal translation. When we perform a professional literary translation, we retain the unique tone and original message of your work. Translating literary works is an art form in and of itself, and we take great care to employ professionals who are capable of understanding the complex nature of literature translation. We work with great care to maintain the same literary concepts and effectsthat you put forth in your work.
Style
An author’s style is often his or her trademark. When it comes to book translation, some authors fear their style will be sacrificed in order to deliver a readable copy of their work to foreign language speakers. At ALTA, we offer high-quality literature translation. You deserve the peace of mind that your particular literary style will not be forfeited in the translation process. Maintaining your personal style and vision is part our language solution services.
