We are looking for a translator/editor to join our team who has a great understanding of the English language, can translate from Ukrainian to English, and adapt jokes for an English-speaking audience while maintaining the core essence. It would be a plus if you are familiar with English memes and have a sense of humor.
Main tasks:
Adapt the script from Ukrainian to English for the narrator
Find original clips from movies/series for the editor (a list of materials will be provided)
Occasionally watch the film in the original language for better understanding of the context
Most of the text is easy to adapt, but there are always nuances. In our videos, nuances include jokes related to wordplay, references to the Ukrainian translation or adaptation, songs, and local memes that only Ukrainians understand. So these will need to be corrected.

It would be a plus if you love movies and know a lot about them, as the content will be about this.
Please estimate the volume of work for 1 hour of video, approximately (10,000 words)
I would be happy to hear your proposals, examples of work, and just to chat.
