Task Description

We are looking for online volunteers to translate the Guidelines for Marriages and divorces registration from English to French. The work requires 2 volunteers in total, with two UNVs assigned to each language (one expert to undertake translation and the other does validation of translated version). The selected Online Volunteers will be provided with information and materials relevant and necessary to perform the tasks. The translations should be validated to improve quality and enhance accuracy, as the reports will be shared with member states and development partners working in the civil registration system.
