Style bible

One brief for every translator and editor of an edition: names, terms, register and typography.

The style bible is drafted from your text: the names and terms that recur, the lines that repeat, the passages in other languages, and the target language's usual typography (how dialogue opens, which quotation marks).

Check it before translation starts, and change anything: how a name is rendered, how characters address each other, whether dialogue opens with a dash or quotation marks. The translation, the editor pass and the checks all follow it.

On any plan, paid from Studio credit: each job shows its price before it runs.
