I’m looking to hire a professional English to Sinhala (EN > ) translator/editor to work on a literary document. The text is rich in tone and storytelling elements, and I require a translation that captures both the accuracy and emotional depth of the original.

Responsibilities:
- Translate written content from English to Sinhala with literal accuracy and natural fluency
- Preserve the original tone, context, and meaning of the source material
- Proofread and edit the translation to ensure grammatical consistency and stylistic clarity

- Communicate regularly and meet agreed-upon deadlines
