Description

Hiring Irish translators to translate Scientology texts from English to Irish. Can be done from home. Only internet connection required. Part-time and Full-time accepted. Stable work for months.

Details on the position:



We are looking for Irish speaking translators to do the translation of Scientology texts (books, public lectures, courses, brochures and more) from English to Irish. The texts are mainly humanitarian and self-improvement related.



Preferably the work is done on a full-time basis, however part-time applications are accepted as well.

A minimum of 5000 words/week is required.



Reporting to:

A Project Manager will assign you the work and help you with anything needed.



Minimum qualifications:

BA or MA in Irish. However if you are a native speaker and consider your level of Irish sufficient to translate we will consider your application.



Required competencies:

Proficiency in written Irish.



Reason for this project:

Due to a surge in interest in Scientology in Ireland the Church has undertaken to translate all its materials into Irish. Scientology materials are already available in more than 50 languages and Irish will be the next one.



Necessary experience:

Previous translation experience preferable but not required.



Advantages:

The job can be done from anywhere as it only requires a computer to work and an internet connection to download and upload the translation. The translation is usually needed on a weekly basis, therefore you can schedule when you do it at your own convenience.



Length:

The project is already on going and is planned to continue until July. Possibility to continue with a second phase afterward.



Frequently asked questions:



1. Is the work proofread?

The translators do their own proofreading. A reviewer will go through afterwards but for consistency of terminology only.



2. Does the translator's name ever accompany a published translation, or appear anywhere on the clients website?

No.



3. What are your payment terms?

We pay 0.09 euros/word. Upon completion of each task an invoice has to be sent to the Project Manager. Once the invoice is received you will get your payment within 7 days.

The rate is such for mainly two reasons:

a) There are many repetitions throughout the materials, making it faster and easier for the translators as they go along since we use a translation memory used and fed by all translators.

b) The project is of considerable size and will provide stable translation work for a long period of time, this does influence the budget as well as the rate.



4. What translation technology do you use?

Trados software or in case you do not have it you can be set up with the SDL WorldServer Desktop Workbench for free.



5. Do you require freelance translators to sign a contract?

No. Only a copyright agreement is to be signed.
