Description

This is a project of translating 634 062 words from English to French. The texts are related to travelling and can be seen at www.happytellus.com

When bidding, please indicate:

- the way you do the translation (phases in your translation process)
- your background / references
- your price per word for
a)over 100 000 words
b)over 200 000 words
c)over 300 000 words
d)over 400 000 words
e)over 500 000 words
- how quickly you could complete the job (with different word counts)

We aim to complete the project with a total cost of maximum $6000-7000. Your estimation of the time
schedule should be exact. The sanction for exceeding the promised time schedule is
-5% of the total payment if the translation is maximum one week late
-7% of the total payment if the translation is maximum two weeks late
-10% of the total payment if the translation is maximum three weeks late
-50% of the total payment if the translation is maximum four weeks late

This is not to be mean but to make sure that the offers are comparable with each other and that we will know when the project is ready.

The quality will also be checked before payment. If given to a single supplier, the project can be paid in several parts.

You may have seen a similar project in GAF in June. Now we have decided to go on with the project and start it. For technical reasons it had to be done under a different profile. Sorry for any inconvenience about making double offers!

Hi, After having read your advert, I would be interested in working with you on this project. Unlike other people already have however, i will not waste your time by providing a ridiculous bid. I would charge $0.02 per word which is very low anyway and offer 100% accuracy for the whole project which will be proofread afterwards. I can complete the translation in stages and send you these as they are completed. I use a speciaist word processor to translate and I can provide you with references for my previous work - also 100% accurate and on time. I am able to complete up to 7000 words per day and I can guaruntee that the deadline won't be missed. any bid under $10,000 is completely ludicrous and this is why people get bad translations with mistakes all the way through. I very much look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Steven Caller

Dear Madam, Sir, After my experience of working with different people worldwide in diverse professional settings and after having graduated a master degree in European and International Studies, I am seeking to leverage my experience in the translation field. For this reason, I was excited to learn that you currently need a English to French translator and I would very much like to be considered a strong candidate. Ideally, this position will give me the possibility to utilize my experience gained during my last academic year and my professional experience. In these capacities, I have conducted ample research developed in tight deadlines, several projects which ended with a research thesis in the communication field published into English. As well, during my last academic year, I have attended different lectures held in the fields of environment and climate, globalization, public affairs, energy and geopolitics, humanitarian actions, European Union’s future, European enlargement, lectures held in Berlin, Brussels, Geneva, Nice, Rome, Rostock, Strasbourg which have strongly enlarged my linguistic competences. My professional experience as a journalist – editor for a Romanian private TV news channel provided me with solid translation skills and computer competencies. To these abilities my experience in the field of procurement can be put into value as for my capacities in project managing and communication. Both my academic and professional experience demanded an excellent command of both French and English language and developed in a multi-cultural environment. Additional experience includes two scholarships in France, obtained during my academic studies which focused my interest on the international and communication area of activity. The translator position will get me engaged in the work I have been trained for, will underline my communication skills and will definitely have a higher imprint on my future career that I envisage within the linguistic area of activity. Thank you for your considerations! Sincerely, Gabriela Helstern For the whole project this is the payment i require 4500$

Hi! To start with the beginning, this is how I do my translations: - I take a quick look over the text, to know what dictionaries/glossaries/other materials I'll need for that specific text - I do the translations as it goes. If something is not very clear or I am not sure how to translate a word/phrase etc. I leave the text on a colored background for it to be easy to find - I go back and check the text (I don't read it all, just see if there's something I left not finisher). I always format the text as I write, so that I don't have to wast time with that at the end. My experience/background: my native language is Romanian, but I am a certified translator for English, French and Russian and I have over 4 years of experience (including English/French translations). I can translate texts in fields such as: general, legal technical, medical and others. I guarantee quality and on-time delivery. My rates start with 1.4 cents per source word for over 100.000 words and go down to 1 cent per word for over 500.000. The entire project would take me 6 months (a little bit over 100.000 words per month). Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you.
