Market-specific English
Orthography and punctuation are the visible layer. Register, idiom, cultural assumptions, and sales language also follow the selected English market.
Italian to English book localization
Shape an English edition that preserves Italian character and meets its chosen readership.
MAQUINE uses EN-US by default or an explicit EN-GB alternative and joins manuscript localization with voice documentation, editorial review, QA, and optional market-facing assets.
Edition definition
Language pair is the beginning of scope, not the whole scope.
This route is built for italian authors, publishers, agents, and estates preparing an english edition, sample, or publication-ready package. The public planning calculator considers target-market variant, genre, source-word count, and material complexity, but MAQUINE must review the scope before any proposal.

The planning result responds to pair, market, genre, length, and scope. It is non-contractual. Complex layouts, specialist content, verse, extensive notes, and other material risks require human review.
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.
Style before smoothness
Editorial review distinguishes productive strangeness from accidental stiffness so the English text remains readable without becoming generic.
Edition coherence
Names, terms, titles, historical references, and recurring motifs are logged for consistency across the manuscript and publication materials.
Base delivery
The localized manuscript arrives with its editorial record.
English title and subtitle routes, hook, descriptions, keywords, categories, contributor biography, and rights-conversation materials. Publication packages are optional and remain visibly separate from the base localization.
- Human-led manuscript localization for the contracted language and target market
- Bilingual editorial revision and target-language reading pass
- Project terminology and voice record
- Document-level linguistic and consistency QA
- Consolidated rightsholder review round
- Final clean manuscript, approval log, and delivery manifest
Optional publication system
Add market-facing assets only where the edition needs them.
The three listed tiers are cumulative planning options. No tier is preselected, accepted, or payable until an approved proposal exists.

Rights boundary
The target edition is defined without taking control away from the rightsholder.
MAQUINE's fee-based English edition service leaves publication and licensing control with the rightsholder unless a separate signed agreement states otherwise.
Authority first
The submitting party confirms authority for English-language production in the selected territory and format.
Versioned scope
A planning estimate does not lock terms. Any future approved proposal must version the words, rate, market, package, payment split, and rights statement.
