We are a team of 2 people busy translating the Freelancer.com website into Afrikaans. This is an ongoing project that started in April 2013 and we have an excellent working relationship with our employer. We are both native Afrikaans speakers with other smaller translation projects also completed on Freelancer.com. (Please view our ratings on the review page). We are currently only maintaining the Afrikaans section of the site which requires only a few hours of our time per week. This means that we have more than enough time available to spend on your project. We placed a fixed amount bid on the project, but please feel free to contact us to discuss any further details or fees (price per word). You can at all times be assured of our utmost commitment and professionalism.

Hallo ElveraStrydom Ek's 'n Suid-Afrikaner wat tans in Guatemala woon. Ek het in 2001 in die Suid-Afrikaanse uitgewersbedryf begin werk (eers voltyds by Maskew Miller Longman en daarna vryskut) en is nie net 'n vertaler nie, maar doen ook redigering en proefleeswerk. Ek het al soveel boeke vertaal dat ek hulle nie eens meer almal kan onthou nie. Dit was meestal handboeke. Een waaraan ek wel so vinnig kan dink is 'Themba', 'n jeugboek deur Lutz van Dijk, wat ek vir Shuters vertaal het. Daar was ook 'n reeks boekies vir Pearson Education: 'Ontdek Strande', 'Ontdek Spinnekoppe', ens. In my Freelancer-portefeulje is daar 'n uittreksel uit 'n Boereoorlogdagboek wat ek uit die ou Transvaalse Hollands in Afrikaans vertaal het. Ek brand om weer vertaalwerk te doen en sal verskriklik graag aan hierdie projek wil werk. (My bod is gebaseer op 40c per woord vir 20 000 woorde en dan rofweg in dollar omgeskakel. Ons kan natuurlik oor die fooi onderhandel.) Ek sal met graagte 'n vertaaltoets aflê, sou jy dit verkies. (Ongelukkig kry mens op Freelancer heelwat 'vertalers' wat nie eens basiese spelreëls ken nie; wat nog te sê kan vertaal.) O, en ek is natuurlik ook beskikbaar om vertaalde tekste te redigeer en te proeflees. (Ek het o.m. die Afrikaanse vertaling van Paulo Coelho se 'The Alchemist' geredigeer.) Ek hoop om gou van jou te hoor! Groete Linell van Hoepen

Would love to discuss. 1st language Afrikaans speakers (my wife and I). She would be interested in doing this. She is a former qualified Speech Therapist, but I supply more detail about her and her extensive Language skills. When you find your candidates it will be advisable to rather work on a "time based" project payment bases, calculated back to the amount of words, as Freelancer's commission is less on that. Per word, in American cents, we will probably be looking in the region of 4c Academic, 3c Adult Fiction and 2c Children Fiction translation. This is however subject to our further negotiations, should you be interested in our offer. Best regards Charl du Plessis PS Please see my extensive Freelancer Profile and employer feedback, which can be viewed here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Snap2Art.html You may also noticed that I have passed American English Level 3 (top level) and British Level 1 on Freelancer.com myself.

I am in the final stages of sorting between screenplays, manuscripts and even poetry which I have compiled over the years but chose not to publish until recently. I am taking a break from my travels and contracts currently which means I have spare time on hand. You are welcome to submit a sample which I will translate to showcase my skills. I am looking forward to be involved in your project.
