Here is the job of your dreams! Apply now!
Hey
I found your website, I forgot where but it was awesome.
I have this thermonuclear patent that needs to be translated within 2 hours.
Our client imposed us a really low rate, but since we respect you as a professional linguist, we're offering you $0.015/word.
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 send you a PO after delivery and validation by the client. Sign it and send it back with your invoice. We will pay within 80 days.
I know it's midnight but can you reply to me ASAP? I'll call your home number if necessary.

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!
