- Description
- This project will require the translation of a 5,000 to 10,000 word document focusing on the ecology of invasive species into Yup段k Eskimo. The wording will be presented in a simple context that will be understandable by a high-school level audience and include a minimum of scientific jargon. The occasional translation of some terms and concepts foreign to the Yup段k language may be necessary. The document will be translated from an English language Microsoft word document, to a Yup段k language Microsoft word document. The contractor must be able to speak, read and write the Yup段k and English languages proficiently, as well as be able to translate simple to moderately complex concepts between the two. The document will be divided into self-contained sections. Each section must be translated in a fashion that retains as much of the original context and meaning as possible. Care will be placed on using correct grammar and spelling in the translated version, with the intent that the finished translation will need minimal editing in order to meet the standards of quality typically used in USDA Forest Service publications. Examples of other publications will be provided upon request by the contractor. The project will be completed in two phases. The original phase will involve the translation of the text, and the return of it upon completion. At this point the text will be reviewed by other Yup段k speakers to insure the validity of the translation. After this review the text may be returned to the translator for the second phase to make changes and improvements as needed. The contractor will also agree to have their name listed in the acknowledgements of both the English and Yup段k versions.
