You will translate pages from our website from French into Spanish, in order to broaden our reach. The topics include 'science education' and 'sustainable development'. Either alone or within a team of fellow Online Volunteers, you report to a coordinator that will give you your tasks as well as answer any questions you may have regarding the assignment itself or the content you are asked to translate. All your work will be done remotely. We will be in touch by email, video calls &/or phone calls. The dates and duration of the opportunity are flexible. Length of the document to be translated varies a lot from a text to the other: from only few lines, to several pages. You will start with 1 text of 4-5 pages max (.doc ; font 12 size). We will then send a longer text if you want to continue the collaboration. Please let us know your availability and time you can dedicate weekly to the project.
