    I have a steady flow of contracts, reports, and marketing decks that must read the same in Chinese, Russian, and English. The goal is clear business communication, so tone and formatting need to stay intact while legal and commercial terminology remains airtight. Alongside the translation itself, I sometimes ask for quick explanations of word choices or cultural nuances during team briefings, so the ability to shift into a short teaching mode is a plus. Source files arrive as Word or PDF and I expect the finished versions returned in the same layout, press-ready and proofed. Please share samples of past work that best demonstrate accuracy on business-focused documents. No extended proposal is necessary at this stage; your portfolio will guide my decision. The first batch is roughly 6...

    I have a small collection of historical documents written in old Persian-Urdu—no more than one page in total—that I must present for legal use. Because the material may be cited in court filings, every nuance, date, name, seal, and marginal note has to be captured precisely in modern, idiomatic English without losing the original tone. The texts are in the Nastaliq script and contain a mix of Persian vocabulary and classical Urdu syntax. Some archaic legal terminology appears throughout, so familiarity with Mughal-era administrative language is essential. I will supply high-resolution scans; if any sections are faint or damaged, please note them and suggest a best-effort reading.

If you are interested, send me a detailed project proposal that explains: • how you will approach accuracy and terminology verification • the tools or references you rely on (e.g., CAT software, legal glossaries) • your projected timeline and any revision cycle you include Please keep in mind that a professional tone, consistency in style, and respect for nondisclosure are critical acceptance criteria. I will supply the files and the target language once I select the transla...

    I already have 10,000 words—our complete Spanish-language Articles of Association—fully translated and approved by the business authority.

Please tell me: 1. Your fixed price for the complete service, including courier fees. 2. How quickly you can turn this around once I supply the final file. I...

    I have a set of legal documents, roughly 11-50 pages in total, that must circulate seamlessly between Russian-speaking, English-speaking, and Arabic-speaking counterparts.

    I have a 10-page declaration for an immigration appeal that has already been drafted in English and machine-translated into Thai with Microsoft CoPilot. What I now need is a bilingual individual who speaks both languages fluently to read the document aloud in Thai for the applicant during a short video or phone conference (Zoom, Teams, or similar) and then issue the following statement on letterhead or a simple signed PDF: “My name is _______. I hereby certify that I am fluent in English and Thai and that I accurately and completely translated the foregoing declaration in Thai for the applicant before he signed it.” Because the declaration is straightforward, only a basic familiarity with legal terminology is necessary. The live session should take no more than an hour; after...
