Hello,
I have been a communication specialist for more than 10 years, having worked for both American and German companies during my career.
My language skills have been reinforced by considerable international experience, living and working in Germany for more than 5 years and in the United
States for 2 years. I have done lots of translations for sales brochures, websites from English to French. I am used to the kind of work you are looking for and my French writing is very good. You can see enclosed a sample of the translation of your quiz. As my 'change quota' for the site was used
up for the month, I could not officially bid.
Please let me know if my bid would be of interest to you, I can offer you the price of Euro 500 for the described services and I think I can provide
you with a full translation in about 2 weeks.
Looking forward to work with you. Best
regards, Florence

Hello, you ll find attached the French translation of your sample. I must say some of the questions are not working very well for the French culture or for other reasons. For instance, the question about the Formicarium would be too easy to answer in French because Formicarium = Fourmilière
and Ants = Fourmis, then the two terms are very close in French. My skills and general knowledge would allow me to find some more appropriate questions for the French audience and I would do that for free, cause your project is very interesting to me. I hope to hear from you soon.
