These books ship in parallel editions — Afrikaans, isiZulu, Spanish, French, and the regional languages of each story's setting. The first pass is machine translation, guarded by faithfulness rules but still blind to the living speech of the street, the kitchen, and the prayer room. If that is your language, you can hear what we cannot.
What to send
Read a translated edition — every book with Other languages on its page. When a
colloquialism, idiom, or register feels wrong, tell us: which book, which language, the passage as it
stands, and how you would say it. A sentence is enough; a paragraph is fine. We are not asking for a
full retranslation — only the places where the machine missed the living language.

What happens next
Every submission is read. Accepted fixes are folded into the next edition export, credited
in the book, and listed below. Top contributors in each language are named on this
page and receive a printed copy, free, of any Arjuna Badger Press book they
choose — in the language they helped fix.
The terms, plainly
By submitting you agree that your suggested wording may be published in the book and on
this site, with credit, if we accept it — and that accepted wording may be
licensed for income like any other part of the edition (print, digital, audio).
Not every submission will be accepted. Editorial judgement applies; we may use your
fix without taking every suggestion you send. Entry is free; we will never ask you for money.
