Cultural Guide Adaptation – Western Concepts to Chinese Context
Publicada el 2026-07-26
Descripción de la oferta
I have an English guide that explains certain Western concepts — for example, how retirement savings work, how networking functions in professional settings, or what "credit score" means. I need this content adapted for Chinese readers, not just translated. The goal is to make the concepts understandable and relevant to someone who grew up in a Chinese cultural context. This means adjusting examples, finding equivalent Chinese terms where they exist, and explaining things in a way that feels natural — not like a translation. This is not word-for-word translation. The facts stay the same, but the explanation, tone, and examples are rewritten for a Chinese audience. What I'm Looking For Native or fluent Simplified Chinese writer Able to explain unfamiliar concepts in clear, simple Chinese Comfortable adding cultural context where needed (e.g., "this is similar to X in China") Research skills to find appropriate Chinese equivalents when possible Sample Task (Include in your proposal) Original English text: "A 401(k) is a retirement savings plan sponsored by an employer. You contribute a percentage of your paycheck before taxes are taken out. Many employers will match a portion of your contributions — essentially free money for your retirement." Your task: Write a Chinese version that explains this concept to someone who has never heard of a 401(k). Use examples or comparisons that make sense in a Chinese context. Deliverables One adapted guide (approx. 800–1000 words) in a Word document Clean final version — no tracked changes needed Optional: a short note (2–3 sentences) explaining any major adaptation choices you made Acceptance Criteria The concept is explained clearly in Chinese A Chinese reader can understand it without prior knowledge of the topic Language feels natural, not translated Examples or comparisons are culturally relevant No awkward or confusing phrasing If you cannot bid due to the $20 fee, apply using the PDF/docs attached to this project.
