£20-250 GBP

Paid on delivery
I am looking for a translator/creative writer/poet who can help to translate a childrens story from English to Japanese. Some words and the character name do not exist in Japanese, so you will have to find how to best deliver the meanings into Japanese language. Ideally, you need to have a good sense of humour,passion for childrens stories and a creative writing experience as well as experience in translating. You wil be mentioned as a translator in the book itself without access to any royalties. My preferred choice will be someone who can do it as a rhyming story. here is the link for the book on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_12?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=hippoporange&sprefix=hippoporange%2Caps%2C198 and short promo cartoon on youtube: [login to view URL] thank you Tatiana

Hello Tatiana! I signed up for Freelancer just to bid on your project. I am English> Japanese translator and when I was looking for job on internet, I have stumbled into your project. I have kind of checked it out your book and the pages I could see in [login to view URL] loved it, and made me imagine how I would translate. (because of copy-write in amazon I couldnt down load so I just read the 4 pages that was there) for example, Hipporange... how would i translate in japanese. if I choose "Hipporange", might be difficult for readers to know what this name is about, but if I would put "Orange Kaba-san"(Orange Hippo, in japanese), it might lose the playfulness over all. I love reading children's books and illustrated [login to view URL] children's books. I think this work is for me, because I appreciate poetry. and for many years, I have identified myself as a poet. Also, I have three nieces and nephews that I can read my drafts too. I have given an minor award(US) in poetry in 2006, and in 2011 published a poem called Renga, collaboration with an old somewhat grumpy poet from N.Y. called Dave Kelly. So I thought I might be here are the links to my drop box. I have several example of my poetry.

Hi, I would like to work on your project. Please visit my profile to see the feedbacks I've received so far for translation works. Being a father of 2 year old toddler, always keeps me in touch with all possible children related things, poems, stories, cartoons, etc. etc. Hence I guess, writting for the level of children shold not be problem for me. Please feel free to contact me for more details I hope to hear from you soon Regards, Dsarang

Dear, Sobaca I propose for the work due to both of my Japanese/English skill and my time. I'm currently a university student of Kyoto, Japan and I'm a native Japanese speaker. I will devote enough time and motivation for this work since this will be one of my first job as a freelancer. I'm currently working as a sub forum moderator of Gaijin Entertainment and my daily job right there is to translate English articles into Japanese. I also work for translating Japanese into English when I have offers. Since I'm one of very few active Japanese speaking moderators, I get many offer of small to medium translations. Thank you in advance for reading this post. Yuji
