Territory-aware register
The project defines address, vocabulary, punctuation, and market-sensitive expressions early, including where broadly legible Spanish is appropriate and where specificity is valuable.
English to Spanish book localization
Define the Spanish readership before choosing the Spanish on the page.
Maquine scopes Spanish for Latin America or Spain, records the chosen register, and carries that decision through manuscript editing, metadata, QA, and delivery.
Edition definition
Language pair is the beginning of scope, not the whole scope.
This route is built for english-language rightsholders who need a controlled spanish edition rather than a vague, all-markets translation claim. The automatic calculator also requires a target-market variant, genre, source-word count, and material-complexity answers before it can issue an exact eligible-project price.

Eligible automatic range
USD 0.08-0.12 per approved source word
The exact rate is calculated from the approved pair, market, genre, length, and scope. Complex layouts, specialist content, verse, extensive notes, or other material risks move to human review before a price is locked.
Editorial control
Three decisions that materially shape this edition.
These are reviewed as connected editorial choices. A clean sentence is not enough if the register, target reader, and market-facing edition point in different directions.
Dialogue and pace
Commercial fiction and narrative nonfiction need spoken language that reads naturally without importing English sentence movement into every exchange.
Discoverability choices
Search terms, title options, categories, and sales copy are reviewed as publishing assets, not treated as leftover strings after the manuscript is complete.
Base delivery
The localized manuscript arrives with its editorial record.
Spanish-market title directions, neutral or territory-specific sales copy, search language, categories, series metadata, and edition identifiers. Publication packages are optional and remain visibly separate from the base localization.

Rights boundary
The target edition is defined without taking control away from the rightsholder.
Spanish-language rights remain with the rightsholder in a standard fee-based Studio project. Territory and format licenses require separate written terms.
Authority first
The submitting party confirms authority for Spanish-language production in the selected territory and format.
Versioned scope
The accepted words, rate, market, package, payment split, and rights statement become immutable. Material changes use a separately accepted change order.
Automatic declared-scope quote
Price the edition before sharing the manuscript.
Calculate the exact eligible-project price, choose one optional publication tier, and lock the proposal after email verification. The private manuscript enters only after agreement and deposit.
