$8-15 USD / hour

The World Ocean Observatory is seeking an experienced individual to translate World Ocean Radio transcripts from English to (European) Portuguese. Transcripts are on average 700 words. We pay $11/hour and each project will take, on average, 3 hours. We are looking for an individual with which to establish a long-term relationship; there exists an archive of nearly 250 episodes with the potential for many translation projects as we are looking to expand our global audience. Our goal is to translate four episodes twice per year (Spanish, French, Portuguese) and release them in a group mid-year (June) and late year (December.) Please inquire if you are a self-starter that enjoys getting work done quickly and efficiently. This first project (attached) is an episode entitled, "Mangroves." We would like to have enter into a trial arrangement with further work to come based on satisfaction of the finished translation. WORLD OCEAN OBSERVATORY is a not-for-profit ocean advocacy organization (online at [login to view URL]) dedicated to information, education and public discourse about the ocean defined as an integrated global social system. WORLD OCEAN RADIO is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays on a wide range of ocean issues hosted by W2O's own Peter Neill. WORLD OCEAN RADIO GLOBAL is a new feature which provides translations of WOR episodes into French, Spanish, and Portuguese. We will launch this new program in June of 2014.

Dear Ms Trisha Badger, I am a Portuguese native speaker who lives in The Netherlands since 2002, nevertheless English is still my second language. I am also looking forward to establish long-term relationships with my employers at Freelancer.com. Besides I would be very proud to work for an institution like the World Ocean Observatory. In order to assess my ability to translate English to Portuguese I just did that for a few lines of Mangroves: "Rádio Oceano do Mundo 186: Mangueiras Convosco Peter Neill, Diretor do Observatório Oceano do Mundo Os visitantes das ilhas e zonas costeiras, situadas numa faixa circundante da Terra na proximidade quer a norte quer a sul da linha do equador, estão familiarizados com o denso crescimento das Mangueiras autóctones dessas regiões. Provavelmente pouca importância é atribuida a essas árvores, no entanto, tal como tudo na natureza elas possuem um vasto leque de benefícios. Estão, por exemplo, na base de uma complexa cadeia alimentar marinha que começa quando as folhas da árvore caem e acabam nas águas da zona nerítica, sendo aí colonizadas por bactérias de origem marinha capazes de converterem compostos de carbono num excremento rico em azoto, o qual coberto por micro-organismos vem a ser o alimento de pequenos animais como vermes, caracóis, camarões, moluscos com e sem concha e de peixes com maior dimensão. Muitos destes animais são pescados pelo homem, estando por isso alguns deles em ameaça de extinção." Kind regards, Paulo
