I am friends with, and regular visit an indigenous tribe that lives in the Amazonian rainforest. The tribe has a very rich culture that includes several stories that explain the origin of its people and their habits.
To prevent that through modernization these stories are lost for the following generations, I have recorded several stories on tape with more to follow. The next step is to (1) write down these stories on paper in perfect Spanish and (2) translate the stories from Spanish to English. My intention is to use these stories for an upcoming book(s) about the tribe. As my Spanish is basic I am looking for someone who can help with this.
I am looking for a native Spanish/English speaker who can help me with this. I am looking for someone who is sincere in his/her work and preferly shares my interest. Both your Spanish and English are excellent. You have a sense of storytelling so that you can translate the spoken words into something that is readable. If you are selected you will be send an MP3 of the first recording to be worked out in the next days.
Given the filantropic character of this project I am not able to pay a lot of money, as you might understand. I prefer a 'per word'-price.
If you react to my project please let me know why you would be the person to help me with this, and in which way you share my interests.
Thank you!
Hi!
Your project seems very interesting to me. I'm a natural storyteller, as I'm a native Spanish speaker and journalist with proffesional English.
I have bid a standard quantity, but we could negotiate it via private message regarding the words.
Looking fordward to hearing from you!
Best regards,

Hi,
My name is Bryce. I am a native English speaker on a trip through South America at the moment.
My wife is from Ecuador and is a native Spanish speaker. She is very interested in Native knowledge and sometimes takes parts in different ceremonies in her country.
Hello! I'd be happy to help you with this project. There are some things that I'd like to discuss with you, but it would be best to do so via private message.
Hi There, Please consider me for the job translating some of your content. I am british born and raised in spain since the age of 6 - I speak both languages fluently and I also speak fluent portuguese. I can work whatever hours needed and can get you some "examples" done upon request. Please feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss further and/or have any questions. Thanks and regards, Daniel
Hi Paul. I would love to translate your stories. I have been living in South America for the last 5 years and have spent time with indigenous communities in the Amazon in both Peru and Colombia. I am British and fluent in both Spanish and English. I have a degree in Hispanic Studies and 3 years experience translating. Please contact me and I would be happy to start working on this project.
I would charge 0.05 USD per word, and for large projects this is negotiable.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, Paul.
I think this project is very interesting and I would love to help you with it.
I am a mexican native Spanish speaker with a BA degree in Hispanic language and literature.
My English is maybe not perfect as in a native speaker but I think is good enough for this job.
I do have a sense of storytelling and I would like to learn about this indigenous tribe, it must be is fascinating.
I also can work with a 'per word'-price if you prefer.
Looking forward to be considerate,
Kind regards,
Hi - this sounds like a fascinating project I would love to be involved in. I am bilingual Spanish-English, born in UK but with Spanish mother and now living in Spain with Spanish husband so I am fluent in both languages. I believe it is important to record stories about our past so that future generations can learn from them. I would be happy to work out a per word cost should I be chosen as the "winning bidder!"
I am a native Spanish speaker with some insight into indigenous writings. I am also able to match the style in order to form a similar product in English.
Preserving the Culture of this people is really important. I´m a native spanish speaker and I woul like to be part of this project. Best regards from México.

Hello, I am an English Philologist, native Spanish speaker. Sometimes it is not enough to be a translator, but a person interested in literature that is going to make the most of a translation. I am really interested in the position because I would really enjoy with it. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact.
