I have an English spiritual manuscript that has already been translated into Nigerian Yoruba. Before I take it to print, I need a meticulous eye to compare the two versions side-by-side, correct any linguistic slips, and be certain the message still rings true in clear, uplifting Yoruba. Your focus will be on: • pin-pointing grammar, translation, spelling, and punctuation issues unique to Nigerian Yoruba • smoothing phrasing so the flow feels natural to native readers while preserving the original spiritual tone • spotting mistranslations or cultural nuances that could cloud meaning Please return: 1. the edited file with change-tracking on for every adjustment 2. a clean final version ready for typesetting If you are fluent in Nigerian Yoruba, experienced in literary or faith-based texts, and comfortable working against an English source document, I’d love to collaborate and get this book publication-ready.

Your biggest risk here probably isn’t missing typos—it’s losing the spiritual resonance when Yoruba reads like a mere translation. Yoruba’s rhythm and cultural layers aren’t just linguistic details; they shape how readers internalize faith and inspiration. I’ll approach this by auditing both texts simultaneously, catching subtle shifts in tone or meaning that typical proofreading overlooks. Expect grammar and spelling refined with an ear tuned to Nigerian Yoruba’s vernacular and spiritual cadence, ensuring fluidity that feels native, not forced. We’ll end with two polished files: one transparent with tracked edits, one clean and set for print. If you want to talk specifics before we start, I’m here.
