I require translation of a 24 page, 3000 word brochure from German to English (US). This is a cosmetics brochure, so translator needs to be familiar with beauty products and the correct english terms, as well as have a good understanding of copywriting and marketing terms in order for the translation to be appealing and not a literal "germ-english" translation.
As part of your bid, please provide an initial translation of the following paragraph so I can get a grasp of your translation skills and ability to meet the requirements detailed above:

I am a native German studying politics and anglistics (English literature and history) in university. Therefore I am able to write a fluent English in also a formal manner as well as German as native.
I earlier had a blog promoting affiliate products around the topic cosmetics and beauty which makes me quite familiar with the topic.
The PM also contains the translation of the sample part.
I'm looking forward to working with you!
Sincerely,
Andy
Hello,
I am a native English speaker with familiarity in both proofreading and copywriting, as well as makeup terminology. I can create a natural translation in a short amount of time. Please see PM for a sample translation.
Hi! I believe that I would be an excellent candidate for your exciting project. I have a degree from a British University in German Studies and Politics and have lived and worked in Germany. I have a good knowledge of beauty products because my mother has worked for Vie at Home, a British cosmetics MLM business and she has had dealings with German companies, which I have helped in translations. My work is high quality and I only use my own knowledge and no translation sites such as Google Translate.
