Hello,
I am looking for someone for a long term project (5-10 hours weekly for several months). Please only apply if you are a native speaker (or close to it)- also, if you only want to do this one file and are not interested in more- please don't apply.
I have some automatically generated content (gt translate from content in English). I need someone to proofread it and edit it, removing all the errors while doing so, but also fixing other issues, making the text more readable/nicer, fixing translation errors and so on. If something doesn't make sense, I would want you to edit it (based on the context) so it would make sense.
The goal is to have the final text (after you do your part) look like a native speaker wrote it (so that a random reader wouldn't look at the text and say "this looks like something a machine would create").
As already mentioned in the first paragraph, I would have plenty of these if this first file is done properly- there would probably be around 600,000 words (~300 articles of 2,000 words on average).
To see who would be the right candidate for this job, I have one file attached below. I would need you to edit it according to the instructions above (I can also provide you with the original file if needed, but would like it more if you could make sense of the context without it). Then, if everything is ok, we would provide you with the offer for long term work.
The context of this article (and all future ones) is as you can probably already tell- about "what does it mean to dream of a house" (gt might have used word "desire" instead of "dreaming", please have that in mind).
Number of words in this one article and the price we would pay (for this one) is in the title of this project.
While proofreading the file, please pay attention to how much time did you roughly need (average from the current freelancers working on it is 40 minutes). Also, I would very much appreciate if you would, in your bid for the project, write what would be your expected hourly rate for this type of work.
If you have any questions- feel free to ask.
Have a nice day,
Tomislav Jelic

Hello there,
As a native Turkish speaker, I would like to help you about your project. I have been working as a freelance translator/proofreader around 8 years. By the way, I am also an English teacher in Turkey. Already I have been working as a translator and proofreader for a news agency in Dubai more than 3 years. I do translations and proofreading of news articles what they give me. I do not have any problem about time, I can do 5-10 around 2k words articles’ proofreading daily! I have seen your sample, it is about dream interpretation. One article can take 20-30 min. My hourly rate is 10$ but, if we will decide to work together for the full project, I can offer you 7$ hourly. Generally I work according to word count. If you have any offer (full project price) or anything to ask, feel free please.
Thank you
Erman Calis

Hi,
I am a bilingual native speaker (German and Turkish) and have been teaching German at a Turkish school for over ten years. As a teacher, this task is easy for me to accomplish as we are more picky about spelling, grammar and word choice.
Kind regards

Hi!
I have seen this offer and immediately thought to myself that it was the perfect job for me.
I am a native speaker who is born in Turkey. Currently, I am a student at Tarsus American College taking an IB course that includes "Turkish Language A" as a lesson which is why I think that I am suitable for this job. Due to my course, I complete multiple assignments and am familiar with the comments a teacher would make on a Turkish written essay or paragraph. I have always loved to read an write both in Turkish and in English. This is why I am sure that I will be more than happy to do this job.
I have read the attached file about the "meanings of how we see a house in a dream" and made the necessary corrections needed. The common mistake was that the "electronic translator" changed the tense based on the sentence but since it is a paragraph it needs to have the same meaning as a whole. I also changed some phrases that Turkish speakers and writers wouldn't use with more familiar phrases that someone Turkish would use.
I have done the sample work with great joy since I also get to learn something at the same time, I would love it if this could be my long term job.
I thoroughly read this paragraph and made the necessary edits in 37 minutes, I would be okay with a payment of 10 dolars an hour.
You can be sure that I will be doing my work with great precision, the end result will be exactly as if it was written by a native Turkish speaker. I can answer any questions.
