E-commerce Translator / Localizer — Multi-Market Scaling (Sites + Ads + Creatives)

Read this fully before applying. Generic applications get ignored.

I'm scaling DTC e-commerce horizontally across European markets and need a translator who can localize EVERYTHING I run — Shopify stores, VSL scripts, UGC scripts, ad copy, email flows, support templates, landing pages.

This is NOT pure translation. It's TRANSCREATION — you adapt hooks, CTAs, and tone for each market so it actually converts. A literal Google Translate version is worthless to me.

NOT FOR YOU IF:
- You only "studied" the target languages — I need native or near-native level
- You've never worked on e-commerce or marketing copy
- You think translation = word-for-word
- You can't use ChatGPT / DeepL as accelerators (and spot when they're wrong)
- You can only do 1 short text per day

WHAT I NEED:
- Native (or near-native) in at least 2 target languages — list them in your reply
- Strong English (you'll work from English source most of the time)
- Real experience translating MARKETING copy: ads, landing pages, VSLs, emails
- Comfort with AI-assisted workflow (DeepL + ChatGPT + your judgment)
- Marketing intuition — you understand a hook, a CTA, a buyer trigger
- Volume capable: you can localize a full landing page + 10 ad variations in a day without quality dropping

THE WORK:
- Translate / transcreate Shopify stores, VSLs, UGC scripts, ads, emails, support templates
- Localize hooks, CTAs, prices, currency, cultural references, trust elements
- Build reusable glossaries per brand / market
- Flag cultural mistakes I'd never notice myself

HOW IT WORKS:
1. You answer the questions below
2. Shortlisted = paid 48h test (real landing page section + 3 ad variations to localize)
3. If solid = long-term role (2-3 years), full-time

COMPENSATION: €300/month full-time to start, reviewed on volume and performance.

TO APPLY — answer these or don't bother:

1. Which languages are you NATIVE or near-native in? Be honest. (No "I studied it in school".)
2. Which e-commerce / DTC brands or agencies have you translated for? Be specific.
3. Give one example of a marketing translation you reworked — what was the original, what did you change, and WHY.
4. How do you use ChatGPT / DeepL in your translation workflow? What do you trust them with, what do you NOT trust them with?
5. TRANSCREATION TEST (main filter):
Source ad headline (EN): "Stop wasting €40/month on cleaning products that don't even work."
Translate AND transcreate this for ONE of your target markets. Give me:
(a) A literal translation
(b) Your transcreated, conversion-optimized version
(c) 2-3 sentences explaining your changes
6. Confirm: full-time, 5 days/week, EU business hours overlap.

No answers to all 6 = no reply. Q5 is the deal-breaker.
