Sri Sinharaja
Translation service

Translate your book

We translate your book from Sinhala to English or from English to Sinhala, from Rs. 30,000. For longer books we give you the exact price by page count before we start, so you always know the cost first. Tamil and other languages are available on request.

Price
From LKR 30,000

Per book, set by page count. The exact figure is in your quote before anything is paid.

How you pay
50% + 50%

How it works

  1. 1

    Send us your book

    Fill in the form below. A link to your file is enough; we keep it confidential.

  2. 2

    Get the exact price

    Within one working day we email you the fee, set by page count, and a delivery date. Nothing is charged until you agree.

  3. 3

    Pay the first half

    50% of the fee starts the work. Pay securely by card through PayHere.

  4. 4

    We translate, you review

    A first draft is made with translation software, then every page is checked and corrected by a bilingual editor. You get 21 days to read it, and one round of corrections is included.

  5. 5

    Approve and pay the second half

    When you are happy, approve it on your page and pay the remaining 50%. The files are released at once, and the translation is yours.

Who owns the translation?

You do. Once the full fee is paid we assign the translation to you in writing, and your name stays on the book. You may publish it anywhere. If you also list it on Sri Sinharaja, it earns royalties like your other books.

Prefer not to pay? For some books we translate at our own cost and publish the edition ourselves for a fixed term, paying you on every copy. Ask about it in the message box.

Ask for your quote

You keep the copyright. We only publish what you approve.
