Hi internet friends. I have a bit of a weird request.

I am looking for a German technical writer/translator who knows their Web Development basics and would be able to translate @bw 's excellent https://htmlforpeople.com into German (casual edition). Here are some of the facts:

• All the markdown files are ~31k words in total.
• I will pay for your time, I don't expect free labor. However, that also means you need to be able to send me an actual invoice ("me" being a German legal entity with a business license who just so happened to get frequently audited by the tax office).
• The contents will be available publicly to everyone under the same original license. My goal is just to make that content available to German speakers. I'm not entirely sure if getting paid for a translation is a violation of the CC's Non-Commercial clause, so I checked with Blake before posting this and he's fine with me doing this (thanks again!)
• I will host the contents, you don't need to worry about any of that.

If that's something you can help out with, please say hi via email to [email protected]. And if you know someone who you think would be a great fit, feel free to forward this post!

Oh, and also: This post is only applicable to you if you are a human and you will use human translation skills and your human brain to translate the text with the love and attention it deserves. If you want to pitch me using an LLM for the translation, I will block you. Sadly, this also means I can only consider working with you if you have a public website or profile or anything that demonstrates me you actually do technical writing stuff, because I really don't want to pay someone just to throw the text into an LLM. If you think you could scam me into paying you to then just use an LLM, you will learn that I have a less-friendly personality, too. Don't be a jerk, please.
