Freelance Proof Reader Needed: Vietnamese to English
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
Project Overview
We have text that has already been translated between English and Vietnamese. Your role is to review and refine these translations to ensure wording, context, and meaning are correct, while preserving tone and natural flow. Accuracy and nuance are critical — we want the text to read as if it were originally written in the target language.
Deliverables
• Edited Word documents returned in the same layout provided.
• Corrections to grammar, phrasing, and idiomatic usage for natural readability.
• Clear flagging of any passages where meaning or tone may be ambiguous.
• Suggestions for improvements without altering the intended message.
Requirements
• Native-level fluency in Vietnamese and English
• Proven experience in translation editing/proofreading (not just translation).
• Strong grasp of idiomatic expressions, cultural context, and professional tone.
• A short sample of previous editing work or a brief test paragraph to demonstrate style consistency.
Turnaround
• Please specify:
o How many words can you comfortably handle per day?
o Your proposed delivery schedule for smaller batches.
Application
When applying, include:
• Your daily word capacity.
• Estimated turnaround time for 5,000 words.
• A short sample translation (or portfolio link).
