The Translation Job Generator v1.0!

Here is the job of your dreams! Apply now!

Dear linguist,

I need your kind help urgently.

You will find the source file attached. I'm not sure if it's written in Japanese or Chinese, but since you're living in Korea you should be able to figure it out.

The maximum we can offer is $0.01 per word. It's indeed pretty high by the standards of over a hundred countries in the World!
For this job, you must use our paid CAT tool. We'll provide you with a license for just $700. It's a steal, as you can also use it for other projects!

We will pay once we get money from our client. You will receive money by wire transfer, after the deduction of $100 (processing fees).

Don't forget to use the 'Reply All' button. One of our 43 project managers should get back to you.

About the Translation Job Generator

Any freelance translator who has been in business for more than a couple months is probably familiar with job requests such as the one you will find below.

Unrealistic deadlines, ridiculous rate, scandalous payment terms, processes that make non-sense, scam attempts, pathetic negotiation tactics and odd demands… A few of random sentences here are copy/pasted from actual communications, while the other are only slightly exaggerated versions of real e-mails. I also got inspiration from posts shared on translators forums and groups.

What is the purpose of this generator? I’m not sure! But I enjoy running it every once in a while, and I would love to get input from fellow translators. The more the merrier!
