French > English: Autobiography in French 84,000 words to be translated in English (US)
Autobiography in French 84,000 words to be translated in English (US)
My questions???
The manuscript was totally written in English for 3 years, then for one year I translated it in French (I am bilingual French Canadian) then hired an editor who cleaned up and polished the French version which is now online.
I am presently retranslating everything again from French to English, which takes a lot of time and will need much literary editing. My questions: would you as a translator prefer to work from the French, or from my English translation? Would the fee and the timeframe be much different or not so much? What do you think?
- How many words are you willing to offer as a sample?
- Does your job offer include translation/revision/correction/proofreading?
- What would be your price and the time required for this work?
- How do we work together: emails? Chat? Videocalls?
Give me your proposal for production and costs, how and when you expect to be paid. How do we exchange files? Wetransfer? OneDrive folder? You can also tell me if you think you could do other languages eventually (Next year most likely German, noting decided yet)
Last questions, is there something you think is important and that i should have asked?
and why do you feel you would be the best person to work together with me on this project?
Please answer me these questions personally by my first name.
Thanks for your time and your patience.
Have a wonderfull day. Guy
