I have translated text from French to English and am seeking a professional translator to review and correct my translation. The number of words translated into English are 350. In addition there are two poems that I have translated. I am seeking a native speaker of French, preferably with a background in French literature, to complete this task. The texts, which are attached in two Word documents below come from a chapter of my dissertation about French Symbolism (Paul Gauguin, Stéphane Mallarmé, etc). I have included the larger context of the quotes in my document when applicable. I have used Larousse's Grand dictionnaire universel du XIXe siècle for my translations, which is available online. In your proposal, please budget for your initial review of my translation and for a 1/2 hour of additional correspondence and verification. The 1/2 hour is for any passages that might need further clarification in the document below. Upon your request, I would send you the original passage in its entirety from the primary source to aid your verification of my translation and to make any suggestions for changes. Your deliverable will be Word document with tracked changes. Any requests for additional materials would be made as comments in the Word document. I am flexible on the turn around time. Within one week is preferred for the entire job. In your proposal, please indicate your turn around time and your fee. Please also indicate if you have budgeted for one hour of additional consultation. Please also state if you are a native speaker and your experience translating literary texts. About me: I am an experienced Upwork user and value the time and effort of my freelancers.

Hello. I am a French native translator and linguist. I studied literature and English for 3 years in college then I studied linguistics for 2 years. Thanks to my formation and my previous experiences, I've learned that each language is different and has its own specificies and its own cultural background. One cannot make a proper translation if they don't consider all those features. I believe quality is important. I'm very interested in automatic translation as I am a linguist, but I do not think it can replace humans when it comes to work properly. I always work on my translation manually. If you want a real professional, I would be happy to work on your project. I can do the review and verification for $90, and I think I can do it in a few days (3 days max). Please, contact me privately if you need any further information. Thanks for your consideration.

Hello there, I am a native French speaker and I love languages. I have looked at your attachments preview and I have seen only small translation error which may have been a direct translation word for word. I will not call myself an expert, but I have what it takes to do the work you request as I have done some similar jobs outside freelancer where I transcribed a French video of 1h30 then translated it to English within 1 week. Although the work can be done within a day, I would love to take possibly 2 days to make sure I return a good work to your satisfaction. I can't charge you for so much money as this may open a trust way of work between you and I, and who knows. I'm interested to work on your project and I'm looking forward to hearinf from you. Merci.
