Hi, Please read the description carefully, DO NOT post blind bids! I have another quick proofreading job if you are interested in getting a 5-star feedback on your profile and a potential long-term work. This is a project for those who need to build their first reputation on Freelancer which is very important for getting work from higher-paying employers, building your rating score etc., so please don't bid over $30. If you want to have a higher chance of acceptance, place a lower bid. You will have to proofread some articles that were automatically translated from French via Google Translate (the total amount of words is in the title of this project.) Even though Google Translate recently became really good at FR -> EN translation thanks to their neural technology, the texts still contain a lot of grammar errors, so you will need to be watchful while proofreading (check the attached unedited sample texts please.) You will be given access to my custom-made work panel (don't worry, it's super easy to use) with translated and source texts located side-by-side. So if you know French, it will help you a lot but it's NOT necessary. Upon completion of the assignment, I will provide 5-star feedback and payment as agreed. Important: your English grammar should be very good and if you haven't completed the test for English Certification here on Freelancer, I will need a proof of your skill, so please attach some of your past writings to your proposal or post a link to an online sample. Thank you for your consideration! Daniel L.

COVER LETTER SHORT VERSION Looking for cheap, low quality proofreading? Forget about me and check the cheap bidders. COVER LETTER LONG VERSION Google Translate has indeed improved recently, that's for sure. However, it can still do bad translations depending on the kind of text translated. I know it because I have tested it myself. You can for example check my translation samples on my profile and try them in google translate, you will see the result is not the same. Google Translate sticks to the source sentence structure. This usually works but often gives hefty sentences in the destination language. A good translator reworks the destination sentence to make it both undestandadable and nice to read. Google Translate has still issues with context and repeated words. Concepts that are key to the source text should always be translated in the exact same way in the destination text, to help the readerin keeping up with the general meaning of the text. But Google Translate does not always stick to that important rule. It also sometimes even makes meaning mistakes which is a real problem. That's why I consider any proofreading job involving Google Translate as almost a full translation job. I would need the French source text in order to read and understand it completely before starting the proofreading work. I am new on Freelancer, yes, but not on translation, so I will not place such a low bid, sorry. My per word rate for this job is 0.01$ => 130$. Kind regards

Hello there, I would love to be of service to you. I'll charge as low as possible but deliver quality work back to you. I'm a Transcriber, Proofreader, Editor, and a Rewriter. Perhaps you could send me a short sample via chat, I work on it, and then you let me know what you think. How about that? You did not attach a file to this listing. My Qualifications, Experience and Personality. I deliver excellently proofread docs, properly punctuated and grammatically sound. Also, as a proofreader and editor, I use my excellent grammar skills to polish articles, manuscripts, books, etcetera, in preparation for printing. I spot errors such as omissions and typos, easily. I've worked on eBooks, doctorate thesis manuscript and articles. I always strive to ensure my clients’ satisfaction is a priority; thus, it's always guaranteed. I'm fluent in both written and spoken English and I do execute jobs promptly and efficiently. After working with me, you'll probably want to work with me again. I'm patient, enthusiastic, creative, innovative, understanding, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. After all said, most importantly, I would really love to work and have a good working relationship with you in the long run. Regards, Kayode.

Hi Daniel, I just saw your project and would like to offer my services as I am bilingual (I speak both English and French natively) and I also work as an English tutor, meaning that my grammar skills are excellent. You can also see that I have passed the English Level 1 & 2 certifications, the French ones as well as the translation one. I am available to proofread your document today and can do it for $20 as stated in my bid. Depending on the format of your document, I can do it using the "track changes" mode on Word, or as requested. If you have any other questions or are interested in what I have to offer, please feel free to contact me. I remain at your disposal to answer them. Kind regards, Daryll.

I am a native English speaker (American) with 40+ years' experience in marketing communications. That includes writing and managing writers. My responsibilities included extensive proofreading and editing. My ability to spot typos, grammatical and punctuation errors is excellent. I can also suggest revisions that would make your translation more understandable and inviting to read for English-speaking readers. Although I don't know French, I think that may be a help since you need to ensure that the English translation is error-free and understandable. I'm new to Freelancer.com, so this is a good opportunity for me to build my reputation. I've already won three contests and sold another contest entry in which I was a runner-up. I've quoted the job at $30 (since you promise additional work) and estimated it would take me two days -- just in case extensive revisions are needed. I did not see the sample you said was attached. A sample would really help me determine if I could do the job in as little as one day. Please give me a chance. You'll get the final text you need -- error-free, understandable and on time. Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.

"Hello, I offer any kind of editing/rewriting/proofreading and complete them expertly ready within short time. I will ensure a plagiarism free article. Plagiarism is generally grounds for failure of a course and can lead to dismissal from college; in this case it should be avoided or prohibited. You must always have a reference page as well as in-text citations to avoid plagiarism. The Reference Page immediately follows the text of the paper. Items on the reference page are listed alphabetically. If you use another person's idea or paraphrase another person's words, be sure to use your own language and style of writing - don't simply rearrange the words. The scope of my services also extends further to detailed descriptions and correction of grammatical errors. Regards "

I have spent time editing a book in the past, and I am a very good proofreader. I am still relatively new to Freelancer and an extra five star review would be very helpful to me to help me land other jobs in the future. I have examples of some of my own writing work on my website, thecatsaunders.com. I have edited these samples myself. I also have experience with Spanish and Italian, so although I do not speak French I have a good basis of knowledge of romance languages. I believe this skill could be helpful for this task, as I already have a bit of an idea what to look for while translating an article. I can get this project done quickly, without much fuss at all. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions.

I am a technical writer by profession and proofreading is a part of my bread and butter. I can carefully go though your project and make sense out of it. I have great attention to detail so it helps as well. My current portfolio includes: 1. Creative writing for a travel based startup. 2. Writing product content for an affiliate marketing website. 3. Product documentation and creating marketing collaterals for data security domain related products. I have started new in the freelancing world and looking for good reviews and associations with my clients. However, writing has been my forte as a full time carrier as well. Let me know if you are interested in collaboration. Best wishes!

My work has been picked up by Marvel's Black Panther design team, Tinie Tempah (and his What We Wear brand), Ugo Mozie (designer/stylist, Beyoncé, Celine Dion, P Diddy, Justin Bieber). I have been given the opportunity to cover London Fashion Week, Belstaff, GQ & Selfridges x Stella McCartney (with Vogue Editor-in-Chief Alexandra Shulman).
