Job description

We are a leading provider of language solutions seeking talented freelance translators to join our growing network in Memphis, TN. As a freelance translator, you will play a crucial role in delivering high-quality translations across a variety of industries. Our focus is on building long-term partnerships with translators who are passionate about accuracy, cultural nuance, and meeting client deadlines.

The Translation Task

This isn't just about converting words from one language to another; it's about capturing the true essence and intent of the original content. You'll be working with diverse materials, including technical documents, marketing materials, legal contracts, and literary works. A keen eye for detail, excellent command of both source and target languages, and a deep understanding of subject matter terminology are vital.

Key Contributions

  • Accurately translate documents, websites, and other content from source to target language, maintaining the original meaning and tone.
  • Proofread and edit translated materials to ensure grammatical correctness, stylistic consistency, and adherence to project-specific guidelines.
  • Conduct thorough research to understand the subject matter and relevant terminology.
  • Collaborate with project managers and other translators to ensure project deadlines and quality standards are met.
  • Utilize translation memory tools and other technology to enhance efficiency and consistency.
  • Adhere to established quality assurance procedures.

Your Linguistic Skillset

  • Native or near-native proficiency in the target language and fluency in the source language.
  • A solid groundwork in translation principles, practices, and methodologies.
  • Expertise in CAT tools (e.g., SDL Trados Studio, memoQ) and translation memory software.
  • In-depth knowledge of subject-specific terminology, especially in technical, legal, or medical fields.
  • Exceptional writing and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.

What Makes You Stand Out

  • Professional background in translation, linguistics, or a related field.
  • Proven professional evolution in translation projects, demonstrating increasing responsibility and complexity.
  • Active participation in professional translation organizations or communities.
  • Willingness to learn new technologies and adapt to changing project requirements.
  • Specialization in a particular industry or subject matter.

Our Dedication To Your Success

  • Competitive rates based on project complexity, volume, and language pair.
  • Flexible work hours and the ability to work remotely.
  • Opportunities to expand your professional network and gain experience in various industries.
  • Access to translation resources and ongoing support from our team.
  • Prompt payment processing.

We foster a collaborative and supportive environment where translators can thrive. If you're a passionate language expert seeking to partner with a dynamic and growing company, we encourage you to apply.
