Hi, We are looking for a British translator from French to English. (This is due to our customer's requirement as they complained about bad translations etc... So we won't consider bidders who weren't raised and educated in the UK.) You will need to translate on a daily basis French property descriptions into English. Each description is about 2-3 lines of text as you can see them here: [login to view URL] The translated properties will appear here: [login to view URL] You will have access to our CMS and will need to gather info to translate the ads in English with add a mini guide (already written, there is 1 guide per area). On average it takes about 10mn to translate one ad. We have 10-20 new ads per working day to translate. We require up to 20 new translated ads per day so about 2-3 hours work/day and this is a long term job. We have a budget of up to $350/month depending on the profile and we will short-list candidates with an example ad to translate. Thanks for your bids!

Hello, Though I am not a native British person, but I am a native French person; my Mum is French from Vierzon, in the North East of France. I did all my studies in French, including a Degree in Political and Commercial Sciences. Later I went to the Sultanate of Oman to work as Sales Rep. for Cathay Pacific Airways, and became their sales Manager, for 10 years. I then moved on to work for KLM/Northwest as their Sales Manager for another 15 years. During my profession, English was the Language I used as Oman is an English speaking country when it comes to business. I also have a TEFL Diploma from the British Council in Muscat, and a Montessori Teaching Diploma. I am an excellent translator and proof-reader, and quickly climbed the ladder here on Freelancer. I have been on Freelancer for little over a year now. I can translate/proofread perfectly all your texts, only human translation, no Google or any other tool, in both the English and the French languages. Please have a look at my profile and how satisfied were the Freelancers who gave me projects. I can guarantee it is all my own work, no Google and no sub-hire. Both my French and my English Language are perfect. Try me, and you will be highly satisfied. My rates are 16$ for every 1000 words to be tranbslated. I do hope to hear from you soon. With best regards, Hoda.

I am a highly efficient and accurate worker; in addition to translation I also work in transcription and proofreading/editing, both of which require these attributes. I am fluent in French, having studied to a university degree level, and also spent a significant part of my life living in France. As a TEFL-certified English teacher I have a very strong understanding of correct (British) English, including grammar, syntax, vocabulary and spelling. I have experience of translating texts of a wide variety of types and topics, including financial (tax returns), medical (medicinal review) and legal documents. Currently I have no other commitments; therefore your project would be my number one priority. I was born, raised, educated, and still live in the UK.

Hello, Good morning. I am a professional and i know i am the right person for the job. I am a Cameroonian by nationality and have studied French and English for about 8years now. I will translate the text for you with the best of my ability an on time. I thing i know about translation is; Never translate a text word for word for it will make no sense. Rather, do a literal translation of the text. I will be very happy working with you. The biding price can be further negotiated for the first five projects so you can test my work quality. Sir, considering your humane understanding i hope my bid for this job will be looked into Best regards, Sarah

I read your request about a daily translation of real estate ads. I browsed the website in French and in English earlier today. As a native French speaker and English speaker for many years, who has lived abroad for years and attended university in English, I think I would be able to fulfill your request. As for the work load, I have currently enough free time to ensure you a quick response. I have an engineer education, which taught me the rigor I put into my work. I tend to work towards perfection as I hate half-done work. Thank you for considering my application. Best regards, Mathilde. (This is my first bid on Freelancer.com.)

Thank you for providing details of the websites. I see the problem with the translations: they often use direct translations which do not get across the subtlety of the concept. Necessarily these descriptions use few words, and so the words used in any language need to be exact. I currently live in France, and am very familiar with the descriptions used here to sell property and what they really mean. Having bought property in both France and the UK, and indeed having developed properties in the UK for sale, I am cognisant of the need to have a snappy - but accurate - description that will make the right customers click through for the right property. As a solicitor, I am used to writing clear, concise English to get across an idea as simply and precisely as possible. Working from home gives me the flexibility to respond to your requirements, time-wise: if the work comes regularly at the same time every day, I will process it promptly each day; but if your needs vary from day to day, I can factor that easily into my work-plan. My work is accurate, fast and of the highest quality. I will always put needs of my client first. I very much look forward to discussing this opportunity with you, and helping you improve your offering.

I’ve been a teacher for 3 years now. I’m currently on holiday which allows me to give my up-most attention to the work that I acquire on Freelancer. I understand that you mentioned mistakes were made on your last translating task which I can honestly say, without arrogance, will not occur if I am chosen for this job. Keep me up to date if you’re interested. Thank you
