How do you charge by the word or by the PowerPoint Page. As well when would you be available?

My French Colleagues mentioned a difference in the French Dialect mainly that French Translation completed in Quebec, Atlantic Canada or Paris were all different. I kept hearing things for example: Content translated using Atlantic Canada French Translator did not make sense to a Quebec student reviewing the content. What is your take on this?

Usually use an hourly rate for this type of work.
And yes translation is a key issue. French from France content will be understood by someone from Quebec but the “how it feels” will make it difficult to identify to. The material is seen as more generic and doesn’t feel custom fit to their needs. It is more a cultural identity issue than a true language issue.
The “what’s in it for me” is difficult to acheive if the learner can not identify him/herself with the content.
The same goes for translated films, television and to a lesser extent, books.

Thank you very much for this information.
Do you have any online samples, I can show during a meeting so my clients can hear your French Voice over work.
Thanks,
Kevin

I do not have any online as I do not own the material and cannot make it public. I can however extract a section, remove all proprietory data and send it to you via Dropbox.
Alexandre Aufrère (@2gars1fille) - September 2, 2011 at 1:32 pm |
Makes sense, how about… I send you a PPT with one page of content and you translate it using Articulate.
I can use it to show my people and you can keep it for your portfolio.
Let me know,
Kevin

That would work out fine. Please send me your PPT to a.aufrere@videotron.ca
I will translate it and publish to Articulate this weekend and send it back to you.
Sounds good?
Alex

I can also provide you with a translation and narration sample by next Monday.
I agree with the comments posted by Alex on your blog.

Would of liked to keep the sample here for everyone to see. Moving forward so you would not have to do this again for another potential contract.
