Clearly communicate any suggested amendments in English. Requirements Native French speaker. Strong written communication skills in English. Experience proofreading translated content. Ability to provide constructive feedback and recommendations. Technical translation experience within engineering, industrial, manufacturing, coatings, or corrosion-related sectors would be beneficial but is not essential. Deliverable A reviewed document with tracked changes, comments, or a clear list of recommended amendments. Fee Proposal Please provide: Your fixed fee for completing the review. Your relevant experience. An estimated turnaround time. The document contains slightly under 5,000 words and I anticipate the review should take no more than approximately 6 hours for a suitably qualified reviewer.
