Hello again,

Some delay from this side, yes, but I decided at first not to translate my application. I thought I had proven my skills retranslating the Swedish Babelfishy-smelling Google technical page, from original English to proper Swedish. But I thought why not, and am now sending you a Google translated version of my application (including your automated translation from Swedish to English of my translation of your technical page from English to Swedish).

/ Kind regards, Joakim Hedström

Edit: Så jag tog min nyöversättning av deras tekniksida, körde tillbaka den till engelska via Googles översättningstjänst och skickade in den. Texten var numera krypterad och förvanskad och jag bodde tydligen i Liverpool istället för Norrköping. Efter det hörde jag inget mer om jobbet.

Hey Google,

Yes. I would like to work with Google. It has for several years worked as a sensible job with little room for anything.

My first contact with Google was probably mailsvaret who thanked for that I had taken note of ”your mom”-klottret on FAQ page. And I hope I remember correctly because no one except I seem to remember that the Swedish Google sides began in wiki form in which anyone could change the content live, directly on the site. It was both insane and wonderful, because no one else did the same search engine to facilitate expansion into new countries.

My jobbliv earlier: Frilansrecensent, network technologies, international project manager, a teacher for everything from schoolchildren to pensioners, ushers, webmaster and also the repairer of mobile phones, computers and printers. Right now I am working mainly with marketing and IT control here in Liverpool.

Short hobbysummering: Writing the script, running in seven-eight pieces now, and spends judgement on the web. Leker music, either in person or improvisationsjam, then twenty years. Do not shoot. Does love to tear down and build kol14.com with new content.

I have a ruddy drive in me, is generous, restless, morgontrött and often deliberately brutally honest for it almost always saves time and energies. But, of course, I sometimes get to apologise. Can work freely if there are clear targets and deadlines to work against, not working in the dark and hope for the best. Last week, I have worked from various lawns, meadows, cars, desks and the construction site, inter alia, Östergötland, Värmland and Scania.

Why me of Google? Well, yes, Google is a bigwig workplace and be able to refer to when someone asks, but the reason is that I want to have more creative sensible and knowledgeable people in your court. And I want a spot, a job, juggling ideas with and be really fun with while I make money. I have been active online since 1992, is skrivkunnig in more ways than just to be able to put the letters in the correct order. English is my native language and my English is very good but not yet perfect.

The text below, I translated into disappointment that google.se still lagging behind linguistic. This page is safe manual translated, but certain terms are Babelfish. Adopt it can be seen as a test.

Hope next time.

/ Greetings, Joakim Hedström

 
Fotnot: Google har numera ersatt sin genomruttna svenska tekniksida med en nyöversättning – dock inte min, vilket är tur eftersom deras nyöversättning blev bättre än mitt försök. Gott jobbat pojkar och flickor!
