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

On October 5th we will be launching a community survey. We had this survey translated to Spanish. I am in need of a volunteer who is fluent in Spanish that can proof this survey.

What we have in place
  • We have a thoroughly translated copy. If there are questions about the Spanish version we would be able to refer to a finalized English version.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,098 , allowing us to continue putting resources into our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

This project is extremely important as we are pursing an inclusive community. We want our Spanish speaking residents to be able to take this survey in the way that is most convent for them.

Testimonials

Read the Impact Story
Sarah is a skilled professional who went above and beyond to produce a polished translation of our survey. During our interview Sarah took the time to ask questions that would allow her to understand the scope of our work. Throughout the entire project there was clear communication of her progress and when we could expect the translation to be completed. I highly recommend Sarah for your translation needs
