Foreign-edition localization
Review the edition model. Keep your rights.
Create a free account, confirm your email and set up your authenticator to plan a book or series in your private workspace. Project review, quotes, agreements and payments remain separate.
Eligible books use one of three exact rates—USD 0.06, USD 0.08, or USD 0.10 per verified source word—with a USD 299 minimum project price and a 50% + 50% payment schedule.

Human-led by Default
The workflow connects localization, bilingual revision, terminology, target-language reading, quality assurance, rightsholder review, and final delivery instead of treating the manuscript as an anonymous file in a queue.
The Private Workflow
Create your account, confirm your email and choose optional authenticator protection, then manage each book separately inside Studio. Public price previews do not create projects, agreements or payments.
Create a free account, confirm your email and choose optional authenticator protection. Account creation does not order services or create a payment obligation.
Name your book and choose its edition direction inside your private workspace. MAQUINE reviews rights, scope and capacity before accepting the project.
In your private book record, the source file is verified and the applicable Standard, Editorial or Specialist classification is reviewed.
A public planning result is not a binding quote. Review the verified scope, agreement, total and exact installment amounts before commissioning work.
The agreed scope, readiness checks and payment milestones govern production and final release. Keep manuscripts and private correspondence inside Studio.

Your Rights Stay Yours

Review Submission CriteriaStudio FAQ
Pricing, ownership, manuscript privacy, verified source counts, and the currently closed payment boundary stay explicit.
No. Localization is a project-fee services relationship. You retain the original copyright, publishing rights, royalties, and creative control unless a separate written agreement explicitly says otherwise. The project agreement states the limited authorization needed for the work. Creating an account does not accept an agreement.
No. The public preview creates no payable amount. Registered clients use the private Studio workspace for source verification and an approved proposal. Eligible planning examples use USD 0.06, USD 0.08, or USD 0.10 per verified source word, subject to the USD 299 minimum.
The sample delivery page shows an illustrative localization and its supporting editorial documentation. It is not client work or a title-specific service. Prepare a non-confidential inquiry for the MAQUINE desk to discuss your project. The public site does not accept purchases or manuscript uploads, and full localization does not require a paid sample.
You can preview the planning formula without uploading. A verified proposal requires the source file in your authorized private Studio workspace. New clients can create a free account and confirm their email. Authenticator protection is optional for general workspace access; once enabled, it is required. Payment actions always require authenticator verification. Account creation does not order services. Do not send manuscripts through the public website or ordinary email.
The product policy keeps manuscript localization separate from optional Metadata Essentials, Publication-Ready Edition, and Market Launch packages. The public artifact accepts no purchase, and the packages are planning items that remain separately scoped and never preselected.
