English (American) to German
We are currently looking to translate a book from English into German. It is a book that deals heavily with the anatomy of yoga, so a strong understanding of anatomy and physiology is a requirement, but it will also have to be written with a certain sense of softness that you would find in a book about yoga. The approximate length is 120,000 words. I have attached a brief excerpt so you can get an idea of the content of the book. Please get back with us as soon as possible with a quote and a short translation sample of the attached document. Also please include your preferred payment method. Thank you. Recommended sample to translate: Anatomically the shoulder joints, hip joints and ankle joints should be aligned vertically, so that the lower legs are at right angles to the soles of the feet. Thus the weight of the body is transmitted to the feet in a straight line. As described later in this Chapter, for the purpose of making the body light we will change this angle. For the moment, however, we will base the rest of the description on this classical anatomical alignment. Keeping these three joints in line and keeping the knees straight, the next step is to assess the position of the pelvis. The pelvis is a bowl-like construction at the lower end of the spinal column. It is attached to the spinal column in the sacro-iliac joints, which connect the ileum part of the pelvis to the sacral part of the spine, and to the legs in the hip joints, which connect the ilea with the femurs. These are the two pair of joints where the pelvis moves in relation to the spine and legs. However, these joints are also heavily protected, the sacro-iliac joints by the irregularity of their joint surfaces, and the hip joints by their strong ligaments and muscles. As a result, the pelvis usually moves in relation to the rest of the trunk in the lumbo-sacral joint, where there is very little protection. This joint connects the sacrum with the lumbar spine and is already a stress point for most people. Eventually this joint and the rest of the lumbar spine weaken, which can lead to damage of its vertebrae and discs. The pelvis can assume three positions. The correct one is the neutral position, in which the pelvis is vertical and the buttock bones point straight down. When the hip joints, knees and ankles are in line, the hip joints are thus fully extended (a hundred and eighty degrees). This position is quite rare. Sometimes the pelvis is rotated too far backward, causing the lumbar spine to come too far back, and sometimes it is rotated too far forward, causing the lumbar spine to curve too far inward as the sacrum and coccyx are tilted up, in which case the abdominal muscles become slack as the angle between pelvis and femur is less than a hundred and eighty degrees.
