I need a set of plain-text passages translated into clear, idiomatic English. The files arrive as simple .txt documents, so you can work in any editor you prefer as long as the final layout mirrors the original—paragraph breaks, headings and any inline symbols should stay in the same order. Accuracy and natural flow matter most; I will read the result side-by-side with the source to be sure nothing is lost or added. A quick turnaround is appreciated, but quality takes priority. Deliverables • One English translation file in .txt (or Word if that is easier for you) with identical structure to the source. Please tell me about similar projects you have completed and your estimated timeline when you place a bid.

Hi, I have been working as a translator since 2011, handling a wide range of documents across different topics. Many of my past projects include educational materials, general documents, and business-related content translated into Indonesian, English, and Korean. I also have experience working with plain-text files, so maintaining the exact structure (paragraphs, headings, symbols) will not be a problem. I understand that accuracy and natural flow are both important, especially when the translation will be reviewed side-by-side. I always make sure the meaning is fully preserved while keeping the language clear and natural in English. For timeline, it will depend on the length of the file, but generally I can deliver within 1–3 days for standard-length documents. I can also adjust if you have a specific deadline. I’d be happy to help with your project. Please feel free to share the file anytime. Best regards, Rizki

Greetings, My name is Aryo. I have read the job description & understood that you need someone who can translate plain-text passages into clear, idiomatic English, and I believe I can help you with that. I have 4+ years of translating English-Bahasa and Bahasa-English documents of various topics, and I am readily available. My turnaround depends on the length of the document, but on average, I can deliver a 5,000+ word document within 2 days (self-review included). However, if the job is to literally translate short passages/sentences (as shown in the attached document, although the order might have been switched, showing the English as the original and Bahasa as the translation, even though you're asking for an English translation) in place of a full article/report, then I can double my efforts. I am also comfortable working with .txt format. I would be grateful if you would consider my application, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you again soon. Best regards, Aryo

Hi! I'm a native Indonesian speaker with extensive professional experience in Indonesian-to-English translation, and this project fits squarely in my wheelhouse. Much of my background comes from working with USAID and international NGOs, where accurate, professional translation wasn't optional—it was mission-critical. I've translated technical development reports, legal and compliance documents, community field interview summaries, and general communications, always ensuring the final English output is both precise and natural to read. I also served as an interpreter in field settings and meetings, and edited English outputs produced by other team members—so I understand the full language pipeline from source to final delivery. For this project, I'll preserve your exact file structure — paragraph breaks, headings, and inline symbols—so your side-by-side review is clean and efficient. Typical turnaround for a standard .txt document is within a few hours of receiving the file. One quick question: roughly how many words are in the source files, and is the content from a specific field (e.g., legal, technical, general)? That helps me confirm the timeline and approach. Looking forward to working with you!
