Three optional production packages

A foreign edition needs more than a translated file.

Plan localization on its own, or compare the metadata, production, and market-entry assets an edition may require. These packages are cumulative planning scopes—not competing localization prices or currently purchasable offers.

Production editor reviewing a finished book against its publishing metadata

Localization remains its own planned base service. No production package is mandatory or preselected. Higher packages are cumulative, so there is no hidden dependency or duplicate charge.

Base service

Professional localization only

The MAQUINE Studio planning formula uses USD 0.06, USD 0.08, or USD 0.10 per verified source word, with a USD 299 minimum. The production packages below remain separate and never alter ownership.

Commercial clarity

One selected package. One explicit scope. No blurred boundaries.

The listed package prices are planning amounts. This public artifact cannot select, accept, or sell a package.

No package is mandatory, preselected, or presented as another localization rate.

Cover design, ISBN purchase, printing, advertising spend, retailer approval, and sales guarantees are excluded unless expressly added.

Any future approved project record must identify every selected deliverable, exclusion, revision, and price before payment.
