Educational Case Study on Cannabis (History, Culture, Effects, Public Health)
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m creating a neutral, documentary-style case study about cannabis—how it emerged socially and historically, why some people use it to “unwind,” what benefits are commonly claimed, and what risks / trade-offs show up over time (health, habits, productivity, social outcomes).
This is not promotional content and not “how-to” material. The final German version must feel natural, modern, and readable, like it was originally written in German—while staying accurate and responsible.
What You’ll Translate
Case-study narrative sections (short essays / mini chapters)
Program-note / editorial paragraphs
Web-copy style summaries
Occasional niche references (terms, institutions, cultural context)
Tone: clear, neutral, non-sensational, non-judgmental.
Style: smooth German prose (no “translated English” feel).
Expected Deliverables
German translation of the provided text (editable doc)
Consistency check (key terms translated consistently across the whole piece)
Translator notes (brief): flag any cultural references, idioms, or sensitive phrasing that doesn’t carry 1-to-1 into German and suggest alternatives
(Optional but preferred) Mini glossary of recurring terms (e.g., policy/health terminology)
Quantity & Quality Requirements
First batch: ~2,000–4,000 words (more to follow if successful)
Must read like native German editorial writing
Keep proper nouns and niche references intact
Creative idiom adaptation encouraged as long as meaning stays correct
If something sounds risky or misleading in German context, flag it in notes
Deadline / Workflow
First batch turnaround: 3–7 days (depending on your availability)
1–2 revision rounds max (minor polishing, consistency, tone)
Outcome: If we work well together, this becomes an ongoing series with additional case studies and regular batches.
Compliance & Safety (Important)
This project must remain educational and legal:
No instructions on obtaining, producing, hiding, or consuming substances
No illegal content, facilitation, or evasion guidance
No discrimination, hate, or harmful expressions
Neutral public-health framing is preferred
Who Should Apply
German native (or near-native) translators with strong writing instincts
People who enjoy reading and shaping prose, not just literal translation
Experience with journalism, non-fiction, public health, sociology, or documentary-style text is a plus
Comfortable handling sensitive topics responsibly and without slang-heavy tone
