Hi. I offer to translate academic manuscripts from Portuguese to English. This is what I do - I can send samples of previous work after you open a message channel (Freelancer does not allow me to attach texts before you do this). Most of these references have to do with water studies (rivers, sanitation, flooding, aquifers, reforestation for water production, etc.), as that has been my area of work for the last 12 years.
Relevant Skills and Experience
I´m American, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and a varied technical background. I have lived in Brazil for 30 years, having acquired expert fluency in the Portuguese language, and work as technical coordinator of a Watershed/Catchment Basin Committee here, in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro state. Before that, I worked in food industries (seasoning manufacture and distribution) and the petroleum industry (electro-mechanical engineering applied in both geophysical exploration and submarine robotics). I do not have university diplomas in any of these fields, but my on-the-job traing and experience has made me the equivalent of most professionals. I would be happy to make a test translation to prove my capacity in these or other areas of knowledge.
Proposed Milestones
$25 USD - Deliver translated manuscripts, for a price that depends on the size of each text (my basic rate is $10/400 words, although I give discounts for volume work and work that is less urgent).
