Hi all,
A breast cancer charity, knowyourlemons.com (part of the larger organization Worldwide Breast Cancer), recently approached us asking for help from our EN>FR translators.
They would like to translate some of their (very cute) website and materials into French, to help raise awareness for breast cancer. Unfortunately, however, they can't pay for your work and this would be done on a volunteer basis. Instead, they can highlight the translator(s) on their website, which has been featured on many cool websites and blogs:
- http://laughingsquid.com/know-your-lemons-breast-cancer-awareness-month-campaign/
- https://ihatebreastcancer.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/show-us-your-lemons/
We at Gengo would also love to do a special blog post featuring the organization and the translators who helped with the project so would be a great way to show potential employers your work :)
The entire project consists of around 1,500 words and can be split up between multiple translators. Here are some screenshots of the materials: 
This is a great chance to help a very worthy cause, and improve your translation skills on a different type of project. Please email me if you're interested in helping out!

Oh this is great! I wish it was FR to EN so I could do it!
I would really like to translate it to Brazilian Portuguese. It's a really important topic no matter what is your language.
Hi, who should I contact to help?
@Diego: Thanks for the offer! I will ask the client if they would like it translated to Brazilian Portuguese, too.
@Alejandra: You can contact me (megan.waters@gengo.com)
I would be happy to translate this to Spanish (ES) if they need it.
@Alicia: Wow! Thanks so much for your offer. I think they may already have it in Spanish but let me check and get back to you.
I am able to help in translating it to Hungarian, if it is needed.
@Barnabas: That's awesome, thanks! I'll check and email you with the details.
