Seeking English/Arabic Translation/Transcription for Social Media
I want to hire one or more HLS students with English and Arabic language skills to translate/transcribe very brief quotes for use on social media. They won’t have to translate or transcribe anything they don't want to for whatever reason. The stuff I'm talking about is not controversial, which is why I feel confident making that statement.
The person should be easy to get along with and #resistance minded on the current political front. It's a very interesting and relevant project and I’m confident whoever does it will be happy to be involved.
The money will be negotiated and will not be a lot to start BUT I'm also asking for very little actual work in return -- each quote will probably take around 30 seconds to translate/transcribe and I will only be asking for a few here and there.
My proposal is that I pay the person(s) some set amount in advance and they agree to spend some set amount of time doing the translation/transcription and then I periodically send them texts or emails with the relevant text, they translate/transcribe and return until the payment is used up and then we start over.
There are also opportunities for news reporting-style writing and/or video projects if anyone is interested in that.
If interested, please contact me by email or text (we can talk by phone if you like, but please text first).
