Contract
This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.
We are coordinating the localisation of a smartphone app developed by the UN World Food Programme called “ShareTheMeal” (https://sharethemeal.org/) into Norwegian. ShareTheMeal is an app from the World Food Programme that enables people to "share their meals" with children in need.
We are greatly excited about our achievements and future campaigns in which we attempt to fight child hunger all over the world.
This fully remote-assignmen involves translation of English to Norwegian and assisting with translations 1-5 hours per week.
We are looking for Online Volunteers who would be willing to work with us for a minimum of 12 weeks. Each translation task (a combination of a google sheet and a link to the Crowdin project) goes out on Friday, and we would need it back by Monday. Therefore, this task requires weekend contribution. Each translation sheet varies in length, but averages about 1000 words.
As most of the texts are short, translations can mostly be entered into e-mail, Word docs or Excel sheets. Additionally, we utilize a translation platform called Crowdin with glossaries and screenshots for context.
Shortlisted candidates may be asked to translate a short paragraph as part of the selection process.
