to translate 9000 words in two days (for $180.00 USD to $450.00 USD estimated total).

A: One (with GT and at that rate), but 20 have applied so far.

No professional translator in his/her right state of mind would accept such an offer. I wouldn't!

Run 400 kilometers a day barefoot, 60 km/h, and have no meal. No, thank you.
