Description

I have 31 topics that I need someone to jot down ideas about in Portuguese and English. I need a "minimum" of 2 - 3 pages of info for each topic. One and a half pages is not 2 pages.

There are 31 topics but an example of ONE topic is: "food in Portuguese."
If the topic is "food in Portuguese" then I would need you to write about "food in Portuguese." To come up with the 2 - 3 pages of info, for the topic "food in Portuguese" you would give the Portuguese word for food, explain Portuguese culture and how food is viewed, cultural aspects of food in Portugal. Give some names of Portuguese food and explain what it is in English, talk about restaurants in Portugal, then translate the word restaurant into Portuguese then list the names of things found in a restaurant then translate those too. Write about relevant things about food as it relates to Portugal or the Portuguese language.

That's the general idea. Write down relevant information as it relates to the topic and give the Portuguese translation of the relevant words when necessary. Do this and you should have 2 - 3 pages easily. As previously stated: give translations words and expressions as it relates to the topic. I'm not looking for word for translations of what you write but the keywords and phrases that relate to 'food in Portuguese' should be translated.You will be writing down short phrases and ideas in bullet points. That's it. You are not writing a paper. You do not have to be an expert English writer but what you write should be readable and understandable.

You should be fluent in the Portuguese language.

When applying for this project, answer, the following questions using a full sentence, or sentences, so that I know exactly what you are referring to.

1. How long it will take to complete this translation project?

2. How much will you will charge (your bid) for completing the entire project?

3. I would like updates of the project, I would like updates so that I can add input and see the progress of the project. If you have an issue with this, let me know.

4. Let me know how many days a week and the number of hours on those days you plan to work on this project. Don't "disappear" then "reappear" (that's if you 'reappear') after being assigned the project, as stated, send me updates and let me know what's going on.

5. Let me know what country you are from and what country you are currently living in.

6. Let me know how many people will work on this project. If one person will work on this project, will that one person be you?

7. Can you and will you stick to the deadline, we agreed on, for completing this project?

8. Are you a native speaker of Portuguese? Do you have any relevant samples of your work? If so, send them.

9. You will be required to sign a contract before you are hired to work on this project. Is signing a contract a problem for you?

Skills required: Portuguese,English,creative thinking. Not looking for expert English writing ability. That's not what this is about. You should however be excellent in Portuguese.

I do not pay upfront. I pay when the project is complete.

Dear Employer, My wife and I work as a translation team.. I am fluent in English (from America) and well versed in Portuguese and she is fluent in Portuguese (a Native Brazilian) and English, we live in Brazil but have both traveled to Portugal before. I believe we could easily complete this project for you to your satisfaction. My estimate is it will take 21 working days to complete this project (31 topics 2-3 pages each) (62-93 pages) This estimate includes time needed for periodic submissions and feedbacks For such a large workload we hope you are not expecting to pay under 250.00 for the whole thing. We could complete the project for or $30.00 / article. or $930.00 or 10.00/page we believe this to be a realistic estimate of the work required. Please note we are glad to be paid at the end of the project but are only interested in this project if the total payment is to be in escrow through GAF while we are working on it. We have no problem with providing updates and working with your feedback. We would work 4-5 days a week (4 hrs/day)(not weekends) during normal working hours- with the exception of contacting should there be a large time difference from where you are. We would both work on the project as needed , probably with the larger workload being done by myself personally/with my wife editing and proofreading the Portuguese. I believe we could finish the project in the quoted amount of time. But of course we could reassess this hopefully to a shorter amount of time once 1-3 articles had been written. We are not professional writers and work largely with translation. But we both have masters degrees. One in art the other architecture. If samples are completely necessary for you I can send you samples of my wifes writing on architecture for instance. We have no problems signing a contract. Should you have any questions feel free to PM me. Sincerely, ArtilesStudios
