Volunteer translator proof reader

This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.

To support the creation of a series of work sheets to assist in the development of CVs and profile statements for speakers of other languages.

Volunteers will be given sentences for translation. A numbering system will be used so that sentences needing translation can be easily identified. 

We wanted to avoid using translation packages/software on a pc, as we feel this sometimes does not accurately reflect the statements or the meanings. 

We need assistance with the clarity aspects of translation. 

The first languages we are needing:

Urdu

Punjabi

Arabic

Kurdish

Kurdish Sorani

Romanian

Bengali

Hungarian 

Russian

Lithuanian 

Ukrainian

Pashto 

Persian

Polish 

Russian

Slovak

Tigrinya

Volunteering certificates from the Directorate will be provided to volunteers. 

2/3 hours per language is likely required. However, this is probably an over estimation.
