Looking for an English to Mandarin Translator

23 Feb 2007

Posted by J. Angelo Racoma as Problogging, Work, Writing

I’m looking for a person who can translate English to Mandarin. Online tools are cool, but they tend to spew out crappy translations. Human translations are still the best.

This is for the translation of several dozens of existing articles on a high-profile blog, and then a regular undertaking henceforth. Expected output is about 3 to 4 articles per day. We’ll have to discuss compensation privately.

I’ve already contacted people I know who can speak and write Mandarin, but while I await responses, perhaps some of you dear readers are interested in a full-time, work-from-home (or anywhere) position.

Do contact me if you’re interested.

Think science. Science think.
