Hi, perhaps I can help. Although I'm not translating written works, I'm trying to get correction on the vocabulary/grammar of my Chinese, which are usually translated from English. It's somewhat difficult when my Chinese is confusing and I need to spend time explaining in English so people can attempt to correct the way I want and match the tone.
Since you are a translator, then you would know fidelity and transparency. I think that definitely would help me. I'm always worried about fidelity because the nuance seems important for me, however, people tell me that Chinese people don't say it that way.
Unfortunately, my Chinese is not up to 'translation' standard, therefore if I'm helping you translate, I can focus on the transparency, but fidelity would be difficult because I may not understand the SL too well.

On Sunday, I went to a shopping mall unintended. Unintended = Are you trying to translate 無意中?You can say "I happened to go to the shopping mall"I found a little girl who is my school student by accidental. But, I still continuous shopping. While I faced the mirror the girl was watching the mirror. I remained quiet. After three seconds, I heard this girl showed her very nervous step voices. Do you know what happened? Yeah! that's right! She found me and she told her mummy her school teacher was there! Ha Ha! This always happened!

The weather is chilly and I really didn't want to leave my bed. But I got up in the end. I sat aside the heating stove and looked through Chinese writing on Itaki. I corrected more than five short essays this morning. I feel good because I helped others. In addition, I found that some learners are very diligent and they practice many times in one day and make great progress. I am impressed by their efforts. And I think it is a great inspiration for me to study English. So I made a decision to write essays everyday and correct others' Chinese essays as much as I can. I hope we can make progress together.

Hello, everyone. My name is Iris, and I want to improve my English on italki. I hope we can practice and improve together.I have studied business administration and law at university, getting double bachelor degrees. I'm interested in business, finance, accounting and law. I read BBC news everyday and my English reading is better than my speaking and writing. I'm very poor at speaking. One reason is that I'm shy and afraid of making mistakes. But i decide to speak out.
In my spare time, I love doing exercise, such as jogging, running, spinning, badminton, and tennis. I like listening to music very much, especially English music. My favorite singers are Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Charli Puth, Eminem, Rihanna, Justin Biber, and other great singers. Oh my god, I forget my favorite, Linkin Park, I'm a big fan of Linkin Park, I was so sad about the lead singer's death couple months ago. RIP. I also like playing the guitar, I'm learning it now but am not good at it. I admire those who can play guitar, piano, or sing greatly. They are so cool.
I like learn all kinds of courses and listen to great speeches online provided by worldwide famous universities, such as Harvard, MIT, and Stanford. I like to learn other countries' culture and stories. I am open minded and optimistic. I like smiling very much. I think Elon Musk is a genius, he is excellent at physics and business.
I want to be a great person who can make a difference for the society and even for my family. I love those people who are kind and make the world better. Sorry about my thoughts, which are not consistent. I just write what i think now.
The day after tomorrow, I will know whether I passed my jurisdiction exam or not, which is the certification for becoming a lawyer. God bless me, I made a great effort to prepare for it and I hope I passed my exam. I hope I can pass the IETS next year and get admission to Master courses. Stay hungry stay foolish, god bless everyone.
