Terralingua is seeking one or more Volunteer Spanish Translators to support our organization’s communications.
Do you have experience translating from English to Spanish or are you enrolled in an accredited translation program? And do you have an interest in cultural diversity, linguistic diversity, and biodiversity — aka biocultural diversity? Then this may be an ideal part-time role for you!
Terralingua is seeking English-to-Spanish translators or those who are able to translate in both directions. As our future needs evolve, we may also reach out to Spanish-to-English translators.
Terralingua is a small but mighty team of independent collaborators working mostly remotely. We are passionate about the work we do to bring about a profound shift in human values — a shift that will make sustaining biocultural diversity a primary societal goal. At our helm is Dr. Luisa Maffi, co-founder and Director of Terralingua and Editor of Terralingua’s Langscape Magazine.
We pursue our mission through research, education, outreach, and the storytelling featured in our flagship publication, Langscape Magazine and in the Indigenous Youth Storytellers Circle (IYSC).
To learn more about what you would do, what you would bring to this role, and how to apply, read the role description below, then send an email to Chang Liu, Blog Editor & Translation Desk, Terralingua, at blog@terralingua.org
We look forward to hearing from you!
Role Description — Volunteer Spanish Translator
The volunteer will provide English-to-Spanish translations of the following new texts:
- social media posts advertising our Calls for Expressions of Interest (calls for stories);
- individual “Submit” pages for poetry, artwork, videos, photo essays, stories, etc., received by the IYSC.
In addition, the 1-page flyer for our Indigenous Youth Storytellers Circle (IYSC), the main IYSC Submit Page, and the main IYSC submission form already exist in Spanish but will require updating.
Depending on Terralingua’s future needs, we may ask you to provide other English-to-Spanish translations, which we would discuss with you as your role evolves.
Total hours for this role: approximately 20 hours per year on an as-needed basis.
