$15-25 USD / hour

I am seeking a native of Brazil with good ability to communicate with me in English. We will chat in Freelancer prior to being selected. This is a long job potentially, but it will start with a short task. Ultimately, it may take between 1 to 2 months. The software is a Talking Moose, which you can learn about on website [login to view URL], there are about 70 plugins, but you will begin with an easy one, and continue to receive further plugins one at a time, if the work is done steadily with good communication. Plugins are HTML and Javascript files. You will need to have a good text editor, for editing Javascript code, because the words and sentences to be translated are usually strings within javascript code. I personally recommend and use UltraEdit, which has a free trial period, but you can use any good text editor you prefer. A "Good" text editor for editing code like Javascript strings, makes it easy by coloring the strings a certain color. Using Notepad or Wordpad is not good enough for this task. I seek a freelancer who uses Windows 10. The reason is this. The software is for windows 10, and once the work is completed, you will be given an alpha or beta test version of the software, to check that the Portuguese user interface is working well. On my Youtube channel, [login to view URL] I made videos that show all the text and menu choices and buttons and other UI elements of all my plugins for the talking moose software. There are too many videos a available, but have a look at this one, [login to view URL] which I made for someone who did the Spanish translations. Now it's time to do Portuguese translation. Consider the plugin for "eat Breakfast", shown on this video: [login to view URL] The javascript code for it in English looks like this: [login to view URL]('PluginNameWords').innerText = 'Eat Breakfast'; // Eat Breakfast [login to view URL]('menuMainOnOff').innerText = 'Enabled'; // Enabled var theWords = "A simple reminder to eat breakfast at a certain time, for people who are rushed in the mornings."; [login to view URL]('SimpleEatWords').innerText = theWords; You will need to be able to recognize the strings in this code, like "Eat Breakfast" and "Enabled", and translate those, but you would not translate the Id's like "PluginNameWords" or "menuMainOnoff". Some of the strings have HTML tags inside them, like for italics <i>...</i> or bold <strong>...</strong> and you should be able to recognize HTML tags and leave them alone, without translating them. Short plugins have about 30 lines of code. Long plugins might have 800 lines of javascript code to look through and translate the strings, which could take more than one day. Initially working through Freelancer, switching to email shortly thereafter, because emailing text containing code back and forth is easier with email. When you send back translated code, stay online for a little while after, because often there will be short questions about a few of the lines of code. Payment will be through freelancer. I will post an initial Milestone of $500, but the first short thing to translate will be worth less than that, then more work will be given, and once you work past the $500 amount, ask for it to be released, and keep on working. As you progress, and come to know me and trust who I am, I would prefer to deposit milestones and release them in bigger increments, and preferrably no sooner than once a week. Final checklist: Native of Brazil, good in English, use Windows 10, can edit Javascript code in a good text editor.
