[Open Project] Chinese Culture Translation Specialist – Multilingual Localization

We need native translators to localize a 250-slide Chinese cultural guide into multiple languages. Your role: ensure nuanced concepts (guanxi, mianzi) resonate authentically abroad.

Flexible Tracks (Choose Your Specialty):
Business Localization

Adapt etiquette guides (e.g., "How to decline politely" → Spanish for Mexico)

Glossary: "关系" → "networking" (EN) / "relations influentes" (FR)

Traditional Arts Translation

Explain tea ceremonies/folk arts for foreign readers

Challenge: "功夫茶" → Keep "Gongfu tea" or localize?

Modern Hybrids

Localize case studies (e.g., Alibaba’s Lunar New Year campaigns)

Ideal Candidate:
Native fluency in target language (not Chinese) + business English
Cultural translation experience:

Worked with idioms/proverbs

Adapted metaphors (e.g., "同舟共济" → "all in the same boat")
Tools: CAT tools (Trados), glossaries, PPT/Google Slides
