French translation of a website

carina · #1 03-31-2006, 09:07 PM

I am looking for someone to have a website translated from English to French on behalf of a client of mine.
The website is up and running in English and we are now working to make it in French.
Please email me your name and the price you would request for the work, and we will get back to the person that can offer us a good service to a resonable price.

The website in question is www.isairatours.com

Email: pocolocoweb@gmail.com

Thanks.

Well, it's a long way from home, but my sister does professional translations, from English to french, and the reverse.
If you do not find anyone to satisfy your needs, I could put you in touch with her.

Thanks Marco. I let you know if needed.

We've had excellent results with translation jobs from this site if you cannot find someone locally. Price is usually between 4 cents to 7 cents a source word.

Quite an original way to spam. (Just joking) There are a few people in Sosua I know that also do that type of work. If you have no success with the above, pm me.

Thanks Eddy.

I put this up as I would like to encourage the local market, even for expats.
Of course I can go to any translation company in US or Europe, but I don´t want to do that for the above reason.
I know there are tons of great people around, just here!

Many local translators work through proz.com. There is one very good English/French and Spanish/French translator who lives between Sosua and Cabarete. He works only through proz.com. A few others as well. If you list your job there, you can specify a translator from the Dominican Republic.

Carina,
I could translate any English website into French in minutes, but there's a big difference between just translating, and actually "saying it in French".
We see adverts & websites all the time that are too literally translated from another language, and it seems so amateurish.
Although I cannot translate professionally, I would be glad to look at any translation you get done, and tell you if it was well done or not.

That is very, very true.
Right now I have someone going thru their English text ( as it was very local (hmmm ) and I do not do proof reading...
Thanks, as always Marco.

Carina, I sent you my resume on your e-mail, please don't forget me.....
My mother language is French and I "feel" English language quite good, so....
Also the subject of this translation is something interesting. I would translate this web site with pleasure.
