Native german for quick text proofread/revision
Worldwide
I need a native German speaker to review 4 bilingual (EN/DE) video scripts (275 lines total) for a financial education platform. This is NOT a translation job, the German text already exists. I need a native speaker's honest read on whether any of it still sounds translated. What I need you to do: -Read the German text (English source included for reference) -Flag any sentence, phrase, or word choice that sounds translated/weird rather than something a native German speaker would naturally write or say, even if it's grammatically correct. -For each flagged item, give a short native alternative (one line is enough,no full rewrite needed). -Do NOT translate, adapt, or suggest German equivalents for the brand's proper names and product terms I will share once I send you the files. -Give a 1–10 score per script for "does this sound native," plus 3–5 bullet points max of overall comments. -Basic grammar/spelling check as a secondary pass, not the main focus, assume it's mostly clean. Deliverable: a marked-up copy (comments or tracked changes) or a simple list of line numbers + issue + suggested fix. No polished rewritten document needed. Timeline: I need this back within 24 hours of hire. Please only apply if you can confirm that turnaround.
