• Names, dates and amounts double-checked
• A list of terms where the wording was ambiguous
• A second proofreading pass
• Delivery in Word and PDF

• Experience translating legal or official documents
• Extreme accuracy and attention to detail
• Strict confidentiality

Choosing a freelancer

We look at similar past projects, the quality of your proposal and whether you can meet the deadline. Price matters only within the fixed budget; reliability and quality matter more. We might contact two or three people for a short chat before deciding.

Price

We have set a fixed budget of USD $115 for the work described here. We cannot raise the budget, so please do not apply expecting us to negotiate a higher amount. Payment will go through the platform's secure system, and we release it promptly after the work is approved.

Project scope

Everything we need for the translation is listed in the deliverables above. We would rather agree on the details at the start than discover a misunderstanding halfway through. Additional work beyond this list is welcome to be quoted as an optional extra.

Who will be a great fit

We are happy to work with a motivated newer freelancer, as long as your samples show real care and quality. Honesty, curiosity and good manners matter to us as much as technical ability. Reliability, meaning answering messages and keeping promises, makes a big difference on a translation job.

Availability and working hours

We do not mind when you work, only that the deliverables arrive when promised. We do ask that you are reachable for quick questions at some point each day. Please let us know in advance about holidays or other commitments that could affect the schedule.

Suggested process

The first step is a quick discussion where we confirm the brief and any open questions. Next, please share an early version or plan of the translation so we can confirm you are on the right track. After final changes we will approve the result and pay straight away.

A note about applications

A great proposal talks about this translation job, not about your whole career. If you see a risk or a possible improvement in our plan, please share it politely. Long generic introductions are easy to spot, and we usually skip them.

Originality and checking

We care about quality more than speed. Please deliver only original work that does not infringe anyone's rights. Freelancers who find and fix their own small mistakes are the ones we want to hire again.

Possible future work

This job is a good chance to show us what you can do. We are happy to talk about regular work once the first project has been completed successfully. Honest, positive reviews are something we gladly give to people who do an excellent job.

Timeline

Our plan is for the translation to be delivered within 3 days. A realistic date is more useful to us than an optimistic one, so please be straightforward. Showing us an early version, even an unfinished one, helps us avoid surprises at the end.

Revisions

We include two revision rounds so the result matches what we need. Our feedback will come as one organised list instead of many separate messages. If something does not match the original brief, fixing it is not counted as one of the rounds.

Privacy of our information

Some of the files and business details we share for this translation are not public. Please do not show this material to other clients or in public places. After delivery, we are normally happy for you to display the final work once sensitive details are removed.

Notes on the deliverables

For 'the same layout and numbering as the original', please send the result in a clearly named file or link so that we can review it easily. 'a complete translation of all 12 pages' is one of our priorities, so please tell us early if you foresee any difficulty with it. We will check 'names, dates and amounts double-checked' carefully against the brief, so please double-check it before you deliver. Please confirm in your proposal that 'delivery in Word and PDF' is something you have done before. We will check 'a list of terms where the wording was ambiguous' carefully against the brief, so please double-check it before you deliver.

Keeping in contact

We reply to messages within one working day and expect the same from you. Please keep important decisions in the platform chat so both sides have a record. A short call is fine when something is complicated, at a time that suits you.

Applying for this job

A good proposal for this translation is brief and includes:

• Two or three relevant samples or links
• How you would handle the main deliverables
• Your start date and delivery date
• Anything in the brief that is unclear to you

Thank you for reading, and we look forward to your proposal.
