The Online Volunteer will translate from Thai to English a short survey questionnaire developed for a UNDP-UNICEF joint research project taking a gender lens to youth entrepreneurship in South-East Asia. The Online Volunteer will translate the survey from Thai into English and tabulate the results clearly in an Excel spreadsheet. No data analysis is required. The content to be translated is a short survey of approximately 15 questions. The majority of the survey questions are multiple choice and a small number are open-ended short text responses. The total length of the survey (including questions and answer options) is approximately 750 words, however once the initial set of survey questions and answer options are translated, subsequent tabulation will just be of the open text responses (up to 100 words per survey response). Therefore, the task is expected to take approximately 5 hours overall.
