Job Title: Translator for Sci-Fi Fanzine

About the Role

We are publishing a free sci-fi fanzine in Spanish and English and are seeking a translator for the English version. The project is a manual for a time machine, which serves as a companion piece to our Travelmaster 100 Time Machine poster.

Requirements

Tone/Style: We are looking for a specific "old-fashioned" feel, written as if narrated by an American from the 18th or 19th century.
Exclusions: Please do not use AI for the translation.
Scope: The text is approximately 5 pages long (a very short story).

Compensation

Payment: A physical A1-sized custom poster (valued at $50).

Example Text

"Los seres humanos del siglo XXIV nos superan en inteligencia. Han creado la Máquina Travelmaster 100 Y2K Edition y la comprenden.

No hace mucho leí que al ritmo actual de progreso, el cerebro humano tardará, a lo sumo, treinta o cuarenta años en agotar su capacidad y que a partir de ahí entraremos en una especie de 'demencia por ofuscación'.

Puede que más adelante descubran como agrandar el cráneo y dejar espacio a tanta información. Es cuestión de tiempo."
