German (5400 words) to English translations (check/improve/correct)
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
I am looking for an experienced translator from German to English.
The task is to check and eventually improve my translations. The original German texts are quotations from ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER (mainly from his letters) and from letters of his friends and relatives.
Quotations are generally short, from one line to a few lines. I enclose some examples in an attachment.
There are a total of 85 quotations with a grand total of 5400 words (all 85 quotations summed up).
I think that my translations are mostly correct, but there are three points to consider: (1) I am not a professional translator (just an amateur), (2) English is not my mother tongue, and (3) I look carefully for details, and I would like that the translations are as correct and well done as possible.
I will provide all German texts together with my translations in a single Word file. I expect that you will check them, make corrections when necessary, write comments or just suggestions for improvements (e.g. an alternative translation). Please add all your changes and comments using track and trace.
I think that this work will not take too much time for you, since the translations have already been made (I hope, in a proper manner); but anyhow, I am not in a rush, and you can take your time for reading the document in detail.
I hope you are interested in this work. Please contact me directly if you have any question.
