Translation

Project details

What we need
  • Specific copy from one document (up to 1000 words) translated from one language to one other of the Organization's choice
  • Note: If you need more than 1000 words translated or copy translated into more than one language, please post additional versions of this project
Additional details

Community needs survey, translated into Spanish, Tagalog, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Gujarati, and/or Urdu.

What we have in place
  • We currently have all English materials ready, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have dedicated staff, detailed descriptions,, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,408 , allowing us to reach more people living in the most diverse city in the United States.

Our community needs survey will help us decide our goals and priorities for the next five years. In order to reach everyone, we need to have materials in more than just English. Our city is the most diverse in the United States and more than two in five residents were born outside the country.

Translation Project

Working with Jersey City's Division of Community Development was a positive and fulfilling experience. Jamie was clear in the vision of the project and easy to communicate. And the document I read (a survey about the needs in the community) show that they clearly care a lot about the people they serve.
