Translation of an online travel agency website.

Source language: English

Target language: Afrikaans

Volume: 22.000 words

Immediate start

Offers from native speakers of the target language will be accepted only.

The project will consist of two stages:

- translation (1st translator),

- proofreading: check and corrections of the live version of the website (2nd translator).

We would like to receive:

1) your best quote - cost/per word rate and time frames - for translation only (22.000 words),

2) your best quote - cost/per word rate and time frames - for proofreading only - checks and corrections (22.000 words).

3) a brief description of your experience.

Please specify whether you include Elance fee and VAT in your offer.

Project details:

We use an online platform called Transifex for organising our translations. Both the first and the second translator (first the translator and after that the proofreader) will perform translations and corrections directly through this platform.

Please bear in mind that some strings (separate words/phrases/sentences/paragraphs) contain parts of html code which should remain untranslated (e.g. %{distance} km from destination - in this case you do not translate the part of the code (%{distance}) and only translate the rest of the phrase). You will receive a comprehensive guide describing the usage of the platform in detail and will be provided with constant support during the translation process.

The possibility of future cooperation is highly likely - we would appreciate a long-term fruitful relationship on support and ad-hoc projects.
