We have potential work for one Mandarin Chinese provider and one French provider, local to Connecticut, USA (some on-site work required in Eastern CT).
The work entails some textual translation, some interpreting, and some language consultation for a municipal housing authority.

We prefer to retain one individual for each language, thus, prefer someone with both translation and interpreting capacity.

We may need Spanish, but likely have that covered already. All the same, local, Connecticut Spanish providers are encouraged to apply, since there is always plenty of work for Spanish.

Just to be clear:
ALL PROVIDERS MUST BE LOCAL TO CONNECTICUT (Rhode Island and Massachussets acceptable lacking appropriate CT resources).
PROVIDER MUST BE NATIVE SPEAKER OF TARGET LANGUAGE.
