The "Post a Job" page as it is illustrated here is described below the screenshot.
Document/Job Title
The job title should specify the document title or otherwise indicate what kind of job this is related to. Try and avoid adding the job type in the title e.g. "translation". Instead focus on what this text or document is about and define a descriptive short title.
Job Type
Its possible to post three types of linguistic jobs: Translation, Transcription, or Proofreading. The first, is a normal translation of some text or article from one language into another. The second, is jobs concerning transcription of a music or sound file, or subtitleling of a movie or video. The last, is general proofreading of plain text that should include grammer and typo corrections.
Job Material
Copy and Paste your text into the "Raw text" field below this drop-down menu if your job material is plain text. Alternatively if the job material is a text document with some formatting the entire document can be uploaded by selecting "File (Documents)". The maximum file size is currently 5MB so if you have a large file its also possible to link to it by selecting the "Url (Website)" selection in the drop-down menu. Choose "Other" if none of these options are usable for your linguistic job enquery.
Uncheck "Allow public access to job material" if you don't want the material to be accessible. If unchecked then the selected freelancer will be the only one with access to the job material.
