I have 40 topics that I need someone to write down information about in Japanese and English. I need a "minimum" of 2.5 pages of info for each topic. As stated, there are 40 topics but an example of ONE topic is: "food in Japanese" I would need you to write about "food in Japanese." You would give the names of Japanese food in English then translate them to Japanese and comment about them in English. Here is an explanation of how you couple approach the topic "food in Japanese" to come up with the 2 - 3 pages of information: Give words and short phrases related to the topic "food in Japanese." Words related to the topic might include the Japanese word for food, other Japanese words related to food, explanations of Japanese culture and how food is viewed, mention the cultural aspects of food in Japan. Give some names of Japanese food and explain what these food are in English, talk about restaurants in Japan, then translate the word "restaurant" into Japanese, give the names of things found in a restaurant then translate those too. Write about relevant things about food as it relates to Japan or the Japanese language. That's the general idea. Write down relevant information in English and give the Japanese translation as described above for the key words and phrases. Explanations of Japanese culture and insight into Japanese culture and ideas as it relates to the topic should be written in English. When the Japanese words and short phrases related to the topic are given then the English translations of those words and short phrases should be given (translate the phrases word for word and tell what each word means). Do this and you should have 2 - 3 pages easily. Here is another example: If the topic is: "paper in Japanese" Write down ideas and comments about "paper in Japanese" as it relates to Japan, Japanese tradition, Japanese culture, Japanese language and comment on it. Then you should come up with as many examples as possible using the word "paper." Then translate those examples into Japanese. Remember that the examples you translate should be 3 - 4 word phrases related to the keyword which is 'paper' in this example. You can and should also give vocabulary words related to "paper" and translate those too. Vocabulary words can be just one word. Examples: Paper is cheap -translate this to Japanese Paper is used for writing -translate this to Japanese Children make toys from paper - translate this Note: if Japanese children or adults or if people in Japan make toys or products from paper then you should comment about it. Give examples of the toys they make from paper. Let's say they make paper airplanes, paper cars, paper bracelets then you should give all the toys they make from paper then you would translate those toy names and related words into Japanese (see below). Comments about the topics that give insight into the culture and language are also important. You should explain things fully. You could comment on the time of year or the reason why they make paper toys in Japan. Maybe they do it on a holiday, or because of a tradition. Perhaps they make paper products for tourists. Perhaps they do it for business. You would comment on this in your own words using your knowledge of the Japanese culture, traditions. Then translate the important words and phrases related to the topic. If you can think of any other interesting things about paper related to the culture, traditions, custom, language in Japan you would write about them in a similar way. airplane -translate this to Japanese paper airplane -translate this to Japanese cars - translate this to Japanese paper cars- translate this to Japanese toy - translate this to Japanese bracelet - translate this paper bracelet - translate this You will be writing down short phrases and ideas in bullet points. That's it. You are not writing a paper. You do not have to be an expert English writer but what you write should be readable and understandable. You should be fluent in the Japanese language and a native speaker of the Japanese language. When applying for this project, answer, the following questions using a full sentence, or sentences, so that I know exactly what you are referring to. 1. How long it will take to complete this translation project? 2. How much you will charge (your bid) for completing the entire project? Does this bid include all fees? 3. I would like updates of the project, I would like updates so that I can add input and see the progress of the project. If you have an issue with this, let me know. 4. Let me know how many days a week and the number of hours on those days you plan to work on this project. Don't "disappear" then "reappear" (that's if you 'reappear') after being assigned the project, as stated, send me updates and let me know what's going on. 5. Let me know what country you are from and what country you are currently living in. 6. Let me know how many people will work on this project. If one person will work on this project, will that one person be you? 7. Can you and will you stick to the deadline, we agreed on, for completing this project? 8. Are you a native speaker of Japanese? Do you have any relevant samples of your work? If so, send them. 9. You will be required to sign a contract before you are hired to work on this project. Is that a problem for you? 10. What is your reason for applying for this position? And, why should I hire you? I do not pay upfront. I pay when the project is complete.
