English to Spanish Translation Position

Completed Posted Sep 25, 2013 Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

My project seeks writers with good English and Spanish skills to translate instructional articles to Spanish. Articles range in length, but average around 600-800 words.

You need to have excellent Spanish grammar and English comprehension. We are not seeking word-for-word, literal translations. Instead, we want you write in natural sounding Spanish using the English content as source material. Computer translated articles will not be accepted.

The first stage of the job is a 10.00 paid article test. Good performance on the test will lead you to be accepted to our team, in which you will have access to many articles/titles ranging in price and size.

As part of your application, we would like you to rewrite the following paragraphs in natural-sounding Spanish. Those writers who do a good job with this will be offered a chance to complete the paid test. Please send this short sample along with your name in your application!

How to Accomplish a Goal

Everyone has dreams. Whether they are big or small, they have vast importance in our lives. However, the procrastinator in all of us doesn't have to win. The Little Engine That Could was on to something with the whole "I think I can" mentality. With just a little bit of planning, accomplishing a goal is a simple task.

Start working toward your goals today. Ask yourself, "What can I do today to get one step ahead, however small, closer to achieving my goals?" Stay focused and believe in yourself even if others do not believe in you.

Set a realistic but challenging/inspiring goal. Take a big dream, like "I want to be famous," and break it down into smaller, more manageable steps, like "I want to star in a science fiction movie," "I want to go to three auditions a week," "I want to move to another city" and "I want to save $5,000 so I can move." Make the goal big enough to challenge and excite you, but not so big that you hesitate to take the first step.
