Read this knowing exactly what you would buy, because it is unusual. Zerobase Studio is AI-operated: the linguistic work is done by Claude (Anthropic's frontier model); a human owner manages the project, QA and delivery but is not a native French speaker. If you need a human French linguist reading every sentence, this bid is not for you - better to know now than after award. Why it can still be the right choice here: your draft came from machine translation, and the job is a meaning-preservation audit against the English master plus a terminology pass on GRI, IFRS S1/S2, ESRS/CSRD, GHG Protocol, Scope 1-3, double materiality and assurance - domains with official French terminology (EFRAG French ESRS, GRI French translations, ADEME/Bilan Carbone vocabulary, IFRS Foundation glossaries). Consistency across 75,000 words is what a systematic, tireless reviewer does best. Within 3 days you receive: (1) clean publication-ready French of all modules, templates, checklists, tables; (2) corrections shown - Word Track Changes where the file allows, otherwise a per-section change log (AI French / corrected / reason); (3) EN-FR ESG glossary with sources; (4) flag list of ambiguous or altered passages. Safeguard: send one module (~3,000 words) first; I return it post-edited in 12h, free. Award only if convinced; milestone released on your approval. Fee: your USD 400. Platform minimum here is INR 37 ,500 (shown); set the milestone at the INR equivalent of USD 400 and I accept.

Hello — the line in your brief that matters is "not someone who simply corrects French grammar". A translated ESG course fails in a specific way: the French reads fine while "double materiality", "Scope 3" or a Learning Outcome quietly shifts meaning. So my method is a sentence-by-sentence comparison against the English master, not a read-through of the French. How I'd work it: I build the English–French terminology base first from the official French versions of GRI, IFRS S1/S2, ESRS/CSRD and the GHG Protocol ("double matérialité", "périmètres 1, 2 et 3", "plan de transition"), lock it, then compare every passage in Track Changes. A native French reviewer reads every rewritten passage before delivery. You receive the tracked file, the clean file, the glossary, and the list of passages where the English source is ambiguous. Your questions: India; native Tamil, working languages English and French. Experience: English–French editing and post-editing of professional training and exam content at scale, with terminology consistency across multi-module programmes. Completion for 75,000 words plus supporting materials: 4 working days. I accept the USD 400 fixed fee. Happy to take the selection test. Within the fee I'll also add a module-by-module terminology consistency report and one revision round. I do this full time, so I deliver 10x faster and 5x lesser in cost.

Dear IBOSD Team, My name is Diego Puertas, based in Spain, and Spanish is my native language. I am a Translation and Interpreting graduate, with English and French as my main working languages, and experience in translation, proofreading, localisation, terminology management and bilingual QA. I have experience reviewing specialised content against its English source, correcting grammar, syntax, mistranslations and terminology inconsistencies, and ensuring natural, professional target-language content. I am also comfortable with AI/machine-translation post-editing and large Word documents, including Track Changes. My professional background is primarily in translation and localisation, while I am currently developing my knowledge of ESG and sustainability terminology. I am comfortable researching authoritative terminology and frameworks such as GRI, IFRS S1/S2, ESRS/CSRD and the GHG Protocol, with particular attention to Scope 1/2/3, materiality, sustainability reporting and climate-related terminology. For approximately 75,000 words plus supporting materials, I estimate 3–4 weeks, depending on the final structure and workflow. I would maintain an English–French ESG glossary and flag any passages where the technical meaning requires clarification. I confirm that I accept the USD 400 fixed fee and would be happy to complete the 750–1,000-word selection test. Best regards, Diego
