How It Works

1. Send your materials

You’ll send both documents:

• The original English version

• The AI-translated Spanish version

Word documents only please (Times New Roman, 12-pt. font, double-spaced).

​

2. I review the project

I’ll look at the length, quality of the English manuscript and of the AI translation, complexity of the material, and level of editing needed. If requested, I'll provide a sample edit (see above for fee).

​

3. You receive a quote

I’ll send a custom quote based on word count, service level, and turnaround time.

​

4. I line edit the Spanish draft 

I’ll work through the Spanish version carefully, verifying against the English version and smoothing the language for real readers.

​

5. You receive the edited file

You’ll receive the edited Spanish version with suggested changes applied with Track Changes and comments where appropriate.

​

6. You return the draft 

After accepting or rejecting recommended edits, you return the draft for a second-pass edit.

​

7. I proofread the Spanish draft

Using the tidied copy of the manuscript, I edit with a closer eye, looking for anything missed in the first pass.​

A Note About AI Translation

AI can be a helpful tool, but it often produces Spanish that is technically understandable yet stiff, overly literal, or unnatural. It may also flatten your voice, mishandle Christian language or theology, skip entire sentences, or miss the warmth and nuance your readers need. A human editor helps bridge that gap. Your message matters. The Spanish version should carry that message with clarity, care, and dignity.

​​

A Note About the English Original

The quality of the Spanish version depends heavily on the quality of the English source text. If the original contains unclear wording, grammatical errors, confusing structure, or undeveloped ideas, those issues often carry over into the translation process.

​

For that reason, my goal is not to produce a word-for-word Spanish equivalent of every sentence. Instead, I work to preserve the author's intended meaning while creating a Spanish version that reads naturally and clearly. This may require adjusting sentence structure, rephrasing awkward passages, or resolving ambiguities present in the English text.

​

In cases where the English manuscript requires substantial editing before a reliable Spanish version can be produced, I may recommend an English edit first or suggest revisions to the source text before proceeding.
