I am from Uzbekistan :-), not from India, Bangladesh, or Pakistan, so hopefully you won't ban me immediately and consider my application.
I have excellent English (mostly American, although I did spend a year at Durham University in the UK), and consider myself a near-native speaker for the following reasons:
1. I've been married to an American for over 10 years and speak/write in English at least 16 hours a day. Our children are bilingual (Russian and English) and go to an American school.
2. I've been working in an English-speaking environment for 18 years, mostly specializing in finance, business and law, and most recently in the academia.
3. I've been doing written freelance translations, mostly specializing in Russian to English, for the past 15 years. Here is an example:
"В регионе Приаралья, которое еще недавно славилось огромным биоразнообразием, стремительно сокращаются произрастающие здесь растения и популяция диких животных, на грани полного исчезновения оказались 12 видов млекопитающих, 26 видов птиц и 11 видов растений."
"The Aral Sea Region, which, until recently, was known for its vast biodiversity, is seeing a sharp decline in the plant and wild animal populations: 12 species of mammals, 26 bird species, and 11 plant species are threatened with extinction."
As we plan to move to the USA sometime soon, I am looking to develop a transferrable business network, and trying to get started on this website. I am willing to do a test translation for free.
Thank you
