I have a set of academic materials in Afaan Oromo that must be rendered into clear, precise English while retaining all scholarly nuance and citation details. The texts include lecture notes, research excerpts, and a handful of survey responses; altogether they total roughly 8,000 words. Accuracy is the priority: terminology, names, and any discipline-specific phrasing need to be transferred faithfully so the English version can be referenced in upcoming coursework and journal submissions. I will provide the source files in Word and PDF; please return the completed translation in an editable Word document, mirroring the original structure (headings, footnotes, page numbers). A short glossary of key terms would be appreciated for future reference, though not mandatory. Ideal turnaround is seven days from the date you receive the files. If you hold experience with academic or technical translation—especially in the social sciences—let me know; that background will weigh heavily in my selection. I look forward to collaborating and am ready to answer any clarifying questions before we begin.
