Dear Sir,
The work you request, comparing source text with target text, to find mistakes, including proofreading, steps in the field of Linguist Review. For that kind of work, I always request previous access to both texts, to do a evaluation of the quality of the translation. My rates as Linguist Reviewer are between 20/28 USD per hour, depending from the quality of the translation and deadlines negotiated. I made a initial bid with my minimum rate, for a working day of 3 hours, and considering translation quality as medium: 60 USD/1 working day. I am a Portuguese native speaker with eight years of experience in translations from English/French to Portuguese. I was Head of Information Department of Macao Government Press Office (China) for seven years, in charge of supervision of daily translations of articles from Chinese Press to English/Portuguese. Between 2010 and 2015, I worked as a translator, linguist reviewer and proofreader for Macao Government "Office for International Legal Affairs”, where I was in charge of translating and linguist review of translations of documents from international organizations, like the United Nations or the World Health Organization.
I work as a journalist since 1981 and had several editorial positions in Portuguese national newspapers. I have a command of Portuguese language well above the average and a lot of experience of working under the pressure of very strict deadlines.
Best Regards
Paulo Reis
