IBOSD Skill Certificate in ESG & Sustainability – 40 Learning Hours
Important – AI-Translated French Version Will Be Provided
This is not a translation-from-scratch assignment.
IBOSD will provide:
The final English master document
A complete AI-translated French version
The selected freelancer will be responsible for comparing the French version with the English master and producing a professional, technically accurate and natural French version suitable for publication and professional training.
The main programme contains approximately 75,000 words, together with supporting templates, checklists, tables and related materials.
Scope of Work
The freelancer shall:
Review the complete AI-translated French version against the English master.
Correct grammar, spelling, punctuation and syntax.
Correct mistranslations, omissions and changes in meaning.
Rewrite unnatural or literal AI-generated French.
Ensure professional and natural French throughout.
Ensure that the technical meaning of the English source is accurately retained.
Maintain consistent ESG and sustainability terminology throughout all modules.
Check headings, Learning Outcomes, activities, case studies, examples, templates, checklists and tables.
Check assessment instructions and technical questions for accurate meaning.
Identify any passage where the AI translation has materially altered or misunderstood the English source.
