I am looking for a skilled, experience translator to review a set of 1,500 phrases that I previously had translated.
Please look at the attached Excel file. You should look at the tab called "Working Tab".
You will notice that column D has 1,500 English phrases. Column E has these phrases translated. There is also set of "Gloss Translations" in column G. Please ignore column G for now.
I need you to review all 1,500 translated phrases in column E and confirm that these translations are PERFECT.
Specifically, I would like you to look for:
1) Typos or spelling mistakes
2) Translations that sound awkward to a native speaker
3) Parallel sentence structure between English and the translation*
* For example, if the English is: "He is a short, old man.", then the words for "short" and "old" should come in that order in the translation.
If you find any phrases that require edits, please type your proposed updated translation in an empty column to the right of column G.
When it comes to the translation of these phrases, please focus to make sure that they sound as natural and normal to a native speaker as possible.
The phrases are part of a language-learning course that is aimed primarily at English speakers between 25 - 45 years old.
The phrases should be translated so that they are POLITE, but not overly formal.
I am NOT looking for sentence structure that would be found in a textbook. I am NOT looking for something your grandfather might say.
I'm looking for something that two educated friends might say to one another in a bar.

Dear Client,
Your project titled Swedish Translation Review caught my interest. I am a Swedish translator and proofreader who recently started working on Freelancer, thus my single review.
References can be given upon request, as well as links to my profiles on other freelancing sites.
Kind regards
I am a native Swedish speaker who has been doing freelance translations and proofreading for the past three years. I have studied linguistics and English, and have a bachelor's in plain language consultancy, so you can rest assured that any translations reviewed by me will come back in 100 % correct, natural sounding Swedish.
