How to Bid on a Translation Job

Find translation projects by searching for project listings on an online freelancing site, such as Guru, Get a Freelancer or Elance. Sign up for an account on these sites to bid on projects.
Establish an online portfolio of past work. You can post examples on your website or blog. Some freelancing websites also allow you to post samples directly on your provider profile.
Research acceptable rates by visiting the profiles of other translators on freelancing websites and browsing their completed projects.
Select a bid amount based on the rates charged by other freelance translators on similar projects.
Compose your bid. Describe your past experience translating audio or text and provide testimonials from past clients to establish credibility. Note any high-profile projects you have completed, such as the translation of published books or easily recognizable websites.
Provide a detailed description of the terms of your bid. State how long it will take for you to complete the project, and whether you will deliver the entire translation at the end of the project or according to milestones. Tell the client when you expect payment so he can budget in advance.
Answer any questions posed by the client promptly. Providing rapid responses shows the client that you are easy to work with and care about her needs, which can increase her interest in hiring you to complete the translation project.
