What is a Book Translation job?

A Book Translation job involves converting written content from one language to another while maintaining the original meaning, tone, and style. Translators must have strong language skills, cultural knowledge, and an understanding of the subject matter. This role may require working with authors, publishers, or literary agencies to ensure accuracy and readability. Book translators may also adapt idioms, expressions, and references to make the text more accessible to the target audience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Book Translation position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Book Translation, you need advanced proficiency in at least two languages, excellent writing and editing skills, and a solid understanding of literary styles and cultural nuances. Familiarity with CAT (computer-assisted translation) tools, glossary management software, and sometimes literary translation certifications are advantageous. Attention to detail, adaptability, and strong communication make someone stand out in this position. These abilities are essential for accurately and artfully conveying an author's intent, ensuring translated texts are both faithful and engaging to the new audience.

What are the main challenges book translators face in their daily work?

Book translators often encounter the challenge of accurately conveying not just the meaning, but also the tone, style, and cultural references of the original text. Adapting idioms or literary devices to suit the target audience while maintaining the author's voice requires creativity and deep cultural knowledge. They may also need to coordinate closely with editors, publishers, and sometimes authors to ensure translation quality. Managing deadlines across multiple projects and maintaining consistency in terminology add to the complexity, making strong organization and communication skills essential for success in this role.

Job description

Who We Are
We are an award-winning independent creative solutions company that aspires to be the most culturally-influential company in the world. We help ambitious brands harness the power of culture to solve their biggest challenges. As a unique mix of experts in culture, technology, and storytelling, we are united by a passion to grow brands in ways that advertising alone can never do.
We are an entrepreneurial business - not a traditional "ad agency." That means we value resourcefulness and tenacity just as much as we value creativity and intelligence. We're unapologetically ambitious.
We are looking for Creative talent - Art Directors and Copywriters - to join Translation.
What Translation+ Is
Translation+ is our pre-vetted bench of elite freelance talent - the people we call on first when our core team is at capacity or a project demands a very specific skill set. This isn't a cold roster of names we found on a platform. This is a curated circle of trusted collaborators who we know, whose work we believe in, and who we treat as a true extension of our team.
What being a part of Translation+ means:
→ You're first in line when opportunities open up - no cold pitching, no competing.
→ We already know your work - you get the brief and we get moving.
→ You're a true addition to our team, not a vendor we found in the 11th hour - making our work and our people better.
What You'll Do
Creative at Translation means making work that earns its place in culture - not just in the feed. Our Art Directors bring visual ideas to life with intention and craft, leading with a point of view and sweating every detail from concept through execution. Our Copywriters shape the language of brands, finding the line, the headline, and the story that makes people stop and feel something. Both disciplines work in close collaboration across campaigns, brand identity, social, experiential, and beyond. Whether you're a seasoned creative who's led campaigns for major brands, or an up-and-coming talent with a strong book and a sharper instinct, we're building a bench that reflects the full range of what great creative looks like. If you think in culture and make with craft, we want to know you.
How We Engage
We keep our process simple and intentional - because your time matters. Here's what to expect:
Step 1 - Screener Interview A conversation with someone from our Talent team to get to know you, understand your background, and make sure we're aligned on what you're looking for.
Step 2 - Department Interview A deeper conversation with a hiring manager in your area of expertise. This is where we really dig into your work, your experience, and how you operate.
Step 3 - The Decision Once both conversations are done, we make our call. If it's a fit, we bring you onto the bench - and that means something. You're in.
Step 4 - Getting Set Up If there's an immediate need, we'll have you complete the necessary paperwork right away to get you set up in our systems. If there isn't, we'll reach out when a project comes up and provide everything you need to get started at that time. This is a one-time process, and completing it upfront helps us move quickly when the right opportunity comes along.
Step 5 - We'll Be In Touch From there, we'll reach out when an opportunity aligned with your skills and experience becomes available. We'll share the details, and if the timing, availability, and rate work for you, we'll get to work!
On Rates
Rates vary based on the scope, duration, and complexity of each engagement, and are grounded in our full-time salary bands so you know we're coming to you seriously. We'll always be upfront about what we have - from there, it's yours to take if it makes sense for you. No pressure, no obligation. We just ask for a straight answer so we can keep things moving.
