Dear Astrid,
This bid was intended to find translators of all language skills and since it was my first posting, I submitted it as a trial posting. I am still looking for skilled translators in all world languages and with all skill levels. Since i have no other means to contact you other than this way, I would kindly like you to re-submit your bid and information when I will place my new posting - searching for translators in all languages. I would appreciate it if you were to forward a means of contact, which you could add when attaching your CV.
Sincerely,

Hello,
This message is for Gauri!
I do not want to insult your translation skills but your German translation is filled with spelling errors and more.
It looks like you submitted a machine translation, a bad one for that. If you like me to point the eroors you have made, I will gladly do so. This is not intended to affend you it simply intended to inform you that you are "not" a qualified German translator.
Sincerely,
Indyraover 1 year ago

Dear Indyra,
I would love to cooperate with you, but unfortunately, I cannot bid on this project, since this is a trial project.
I have been working as a translator for the past 9 years now, and I have studied English in Maastricht. My language pairs are NE<>EN, NE<>DE, DE<>EN, FR>NE, FR>DE and FR>EN. Normally I would charge $0,07 per source word, but since this would be an ongoing project, I will only charge $0,03 per source word. That would mean, for 1000 words $30. I will be more than happy to take a small test, if required. I work mo-fr, and if necessary also weekends. You could reach me via mail, or Skype, under tweety51276. I'm looking forward hearing from you, and maybe working together.
Kind regards,
Astrid Schenesse-Vossenover 2 years ago
