Hello Tora
I was wondering if you could update me on this project, so I can set up my schedule. I would appreciate your feedback.
Many thanks

Thank you for asking me to send a proposal. I can only agree to what my colleagues said on this board though. You won' t get a quality translation for this amount, not even a readable one. No offense to anyone who had sent a proposal on this job. I highly doubt any German native speaker has sent one. You are not the first buyer to do this and you won't be the last, This is not working for German seller though. I just hope you earn more per hour than what you offered here. If you adjust the amount I'll be happy to send a proposal. But it would need to be an amount with 4 numbers. Best wishes

9000 words for 50 odd pounds?
I don't think so. Even if I would only machine translate this, it wouldn't cover my hourly rate.
It's a shame some people are still bidding on this job. Sadly, they are ruining the whole translation business for professional working translators. -
Hello Tora,
I think we had a conversation before and I made myself clear, which by the way probably goes for my colleagues as well.
You ask us, to do the job for a fraction of the usual payment for such a translation. Anybody taking this job to your conditions is running into a trap and selling themselves far under price.
Just for clarification, I give you some numbers:
Your job had about 9000 words, I personally need 1 hour for 300 words. Let's be generous, simplify it and say a translator can finish 500 words (that's only possible without proofreading in my opinion but whatever).
9000words/500= 18 hours
Now you ask for a payment of roughly 62€, what would be the payment per hour for our (incredibly fast) translator?
62€/18 hours= 3.44€
From our previous conversation I assume that you will not offer a penny more than you do here and please consider that the actual numbers are even lower.
Either way, I have to ask you if you really believe, that a native German translator would even start working for that price? I'm usually working for almost 10 times what you offer us here and while there might be translators who ask for less, I can only discourage my colleagues from bidding on your job. -
0.007 USD per word for a human translation? Any chance to adjust your offer?
-
Just for clarification- you are willing to pay not more than 0.007 USD per word for a human translation? Or is this a typo?
