Job description:

Looking for potential German into BRITISH English translator. The translator should have good knowledge of gardening in general and be very interested in gardening. The assignment is to translate a book based on designing the garden. The book will be more inspirational and descriptive than instructional and so the style would be very important here.

To give you an idea of content, the book includes some of the following: ideas for terraces, seating, water features, pools, etc. There is a section on combining architecture with nature; a section deals with designing a garden using plants, colours and lighting effects. Another section concerns structure/layout of a garden and then the decorative elements of a garden the different plants/colours suited for each season. Occasionally the book mentions some garden history.

Please send your Covering letter explaining why you should be considered for the assignment.

Please include full CV details and send them directly to both myself [HIDDEN] and my colleague [HIDDEN]

You will be asked to undertake a 'Test Translation'.

Sorry, but looking for your best budget price, please.

Can accept no more than 50.00 per thousand (source) words.

DEADLINE FOR COMPLETING TRANSLATION - INTO 2004

Thank you.
