Source language(s): English
Target language(s): Korean
Details of the project: Dear Collaborator,
Hope you all well.
We have received a new request from our client for a specialized translation task that differs from standard translation workflows. We are reaching out to explore whether there are resources who are trained and qualified to support this type of work.
Task Overview:
• Type of Work: Segmentation and translation using the Salami Technique, commonly used in simultaneous interpretation. This involves breaking down complex source text into shorter, clearer segments before translating.
• Workflow: Translators will define a block of text, translate it, and immediately proceed to the next block — similar to live speech interpretation. They will not have access to full context or the ability to revise previous segments.
• Current Format: Text-based only (no audio at this stage).
• Annotation Requirement: Human translation with source-side span boundary annotation, similar to Long Context HA tasks. Existing UI templates support this functionality.
Language Pair:
• English > Korean
Total Volume:
• Around 35k EN source words for each language pair.
HB Date:
• Around 21st Dec
*A 15-min interview is required, in the interview, we will arrange an interpretation task of about one hundred EN words, which may include political and economic topics.
Request:
Could you please confirm below information and share the latest resume with related experience?
1. Whether you are familiar with the Salami Technique? Do you have simultaneous interpretation experience? If so, how many years you have worked for this linguistic service?
2. Whether you are available in the next two weeks.
3. Please provide your best per source word and hourly rate for this task.
4. Can you please get back to me with initial estimates by noon 15th Dec at your local time?
There is no specific domain identified yet, so we may begin with general content or domains you are most comfortable with.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
