Non English Speaking Writers Wanted

    I have an aquarium website (below) that I hope to translate into multiple languages. As auto translation tools are not up to scratch I would prefer it done by hand. The text, url's, internal anchor text, meta tags and image tags will all need translating. Off page links would be replaced with similar content pages in the new language also.

    As payment for service I will display your adsense add block 40% of the time on the translated website. The mechanism used to serve the adds will be java script viewable in the source code of an includes page. I will build the page using the same tested template as the original. You can either display a 336 square or the slightly smaller square that allows text/ image/video adds. There is only one add per page, above the fold.

    There is plenty of good quality content all written by myself. The site is in DMOZ. The site currently has around 50 000 words spread over about 200 pages. We currently get around 12000 uniques a month looking at 30 000 pages

    If your translation makes it into DMOZ we will change the revenue split to 50/50.

    If interested please contact me with your language speciality and any further relavent info.

    Small Fry, it would be better, if you could mention the languages you wannt them to be translated.
    Also, do you have any current revenue from the site?

    I think Dutch, German and French would be the best. At this stage I am open to any language that supports adsense.

    The site got $125 from adsense in March. Visitor numbers went up substantially at the end of March resulting in $30.18 for the 4 days so far this month.

    Ill be continuing to add more content so there will always be more to translate in the future.

    I should add that a few % of the revenue quoted comes from the search box which won't contribute to your earnings

    Dutch would be great. Payment is 40% of revenue for the life of the website or 50% if you can create a page of quality so that DMOZ will list it in their directory. There is currently 50 000+ words.
