Hi there! I'd love to be part of this project.
Let me shortly introduce myself. I am Zulkanien, a native Malay speaker and an experienced certified translator. I am an executive editor at The Malaysian Institute of Translation & Books (ITBM), at which I edit and proofread translated documents and manuscripts. I have a first-class degree in applied linguistics, meaning I have been trained to construct sentences that are idiomatic, meaningful and grammatical.
I believe I am an excellent fit for this job, given my experience and education background. As for the project, I'd love to learn more about it: What's the genre? What's the topic? Is the file available in doc? In general, translating a 20k-word document can take a week or more, depending on the genre of the text.
Please feel free to contact me anytime to discuss further. I am a night owl, available virtually always! I look forward to hearing from you soon :)
