English > French: Team members needed, Electronic components catalog, SDLX

Greetings!

I’m looking for a EN>French (France) linguist to join the team that translates and edits a 1,000,000 word electrical components catalog. The current opening is for editors, but linguists will be considered for translation work on future projects, and this catalog is translated on a yearly basis.

Linguists MUST have at least one of the following:
1) a related engineering or physics degree
2) experience working with electronic components
3) significant experience translating Electrical Engineering related documents.

Translation takes place in SDLX (SDLX Lite is sufficient, and I can provide a link to download SDLX lite for free as well as instructions). The project is extremely well organized; we have terminology advisers, frequent TM updates, and online shared Google worksheets to get questions answered.

We are looking for a commitment to participate in the entire 4 weeks of work. The project is divided into 4 batches, and it is very important to deliver files on time due to the tight schedule. Depending on people’s schedules, I can give editors 20,000-40,000 words per week, although in the past, we have given editors of other languages up to 60,000 words per week. The files are very repetitive, and I can show you some sample files when we discuss rates.

EDITING
Week........Start..........Due
1..............Nov 17.......Nov 24

2..............Dec 1........Dec 8
3..............Dec 8........Dec 15
4..............Dec 15......Dec 22

In order to ensure quality, a test is required of all potential linguists; we will pay 40 USD to all linguists who past the test. If you are interested, please provide your resume and I will send the sample. Hope to hear from you soon!
