Enca$h the power of translation WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME Remember Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist”? Could it be setting a Guinness World Record if it had not sold more than 65 million copies in 67 different languages? Would you be aware of The Bible, if it were not translated from Hebrew in which it was originally written, to first Greek, then into Latin, and now into more than 450 different languages? History has proven the power of the written word, but translations of those powerful works can be equally significant. So if you could translate your bestseller FROM ENGLISH INTO DIFFERENT WORLD LANGUAGES, it could mean reaching such newer, untapped, unexplored markets whose existence you were blissfully unaware of. This could also be, as experts advise, an excellent way to “repurpose your hard work” and get the most out of the content that you have already written. BUT BEWARE, DOING THIS COULD COST YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. * Now if you can afford it, it may be alright. But the riskiest part of this endeavour is that your book sales in all those exotic languages may never help recover even the cost of translation. That would make this venture a doomed effort ab initio, won’t it? * And if you are a newbie, struggling, unknown author, then this totally unaffordable and expensive route is definitely NOT for you. * There is another problem. You may not be able to reach experienced translators if you are not a “known” author in the English market. * But, in the alternative, if you then contact someone less established, how do you ensure that the translation is of a good quality? Quite a Catch-22 situation, isn’t it? That’s why you need “How to Translate Your Books WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME”.
