Translation

Project details

What we need
  • Specific copy from one document (up to 1000 words) translated from one language to one other of the Organization's choice
  • Note: If you need more than 1000 words translated or copy translated into more than one language, please post additional versions of this project
Additional details

We are seeking an English to Cantonese translator to complete this project by Wednesday, January 20.
The document is a 79-word promotional flyer advertising upcoming community events.
It is especially important that the translation makes it clear the events are completely online.

What we have in place
  • We currently have the full English verbiage ready for translation, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have the general design layout of the flyer, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,098 , allowing us to fund more artist-driven projects

The promotional flyer advertising our Excelsior Art Initiative is pivotal to ArtSpan's ongoing efforts to engage audiences not yet familiar with our organization. Translating these promotional materials enables ArtSpan to engage ESL populations in the neighborhood we are serving, where Cantonese is one of the primary spoken languages. ArtSpan is continuously striving to increase the accessibility of its program and events, this project is one of the ways we are working toward this goal.
