Work Capacity, Price, Availability and Self-Evaluation
Output varies between 1,000 and 5,000 words per day. FB: Depending on the complexity of the source terminology, from U.S. $0.70 to U.S. $1.00 per 60-character line (i.e., from U.S. $0.07 to U.S. $0.10 per word). Neither a sworn translator nor a notary public. Available for long-term projects. The fact that I have been accomplishing very difficult technical translations/revisions (e.g. Thompson-Chain Bible, Logos Library System/CompuBiblia's interface), as well as simple ones (Sunday School Curricula), makes me a very excellent candidate, with God's help, for whatever the interested party may ask me to undertake in the areas of theological/educational/sociological/technical translation and/or revision (either with IT as well as manually)!
