Writing/Translating
75% of published research is in English yet 87% of the world doesn't not speak English which leads to a huge disconnect and lack of information particularly research to non-native speakers. At Talking Translations, we attempt to bridge this gap by translating research into useable infographics or articles informing the rest of the international community about topics such as Climate Change where non-English speaking countries especially those in Asia and Africa are being disproportionally affected by Climate Change. However, our work is not just limited to climate change, in fact we encourage you to write in other languages not in English about fields you are passionate about! Your task as a writer will be to summarize peer-reviewed research papers and write an article in your own words whilst also citing sources you may also make infographic of your choosing. You will be awarded service hours by emailing talkingtranslations@gmail.com after you have signed up as well as attaching your work and a volunteer service hour verification sheet in a PDF or Word document format. You will be awarded 1 hour for each infographic that is one full page or 1 hour for every 250 words written. Remember, this must be in your words and will be checked for plagiarism and you are encouraged to write/make content in a language that is not English. Exceptional work will be also published in our literary magazine as well!
