Our company is seeking a native mandarin Chinese speaker to assist with updating translated text in an existing Mandarin Chinese business brochure created in Adobe InDesign. The fully designed 12 page brochure presently features text in Mandarin, however we have obtained an updated version of approximately 1000 words from feedback on this document (as it was translated using google translate the first time around). The selected freelancer will be provided with both the original InDesign file and revised Word file containing the latest translations. The task involves replacing the existing Mandarin text within the InDesign document to reflect the modifications in the Word file. Care must be taken to ensure the flow and formatting of the brochure layout remains intact throughout the translation substitutions. As the changes are limited to textual content only, minimal expertise in Adobe InDesign is necessary to efficiently navigate and execute the requested alterations. The formatted files will be shared upon confirmation of interest in this short-term project updating approximately 1000 words of translated text within a 12 page brochure designed in InDesign. This is a quick easy job for a designer who can read nad understand simplified mandarin Chinese!
