Translate this phrase from English to German?

How would you say 'International Volunteer' in German?





The Google translation is 'Internationale Freiwillige'





Is that correct?





I'm just wondering if, in German, it would actually be written as 'Freiwillige Internationale' ?





Many Thanks for your help.|||depends what you understand with "international volunteer"





I would translate it to:





"Internationaler, ehrenamtlicher Mitarbeiter"


or


"Internationaler Ehrenamtlicher"





if you insist on "Freiwilliger" for volunteer, which is imho a possible, but not a good translation it would be:





"Internationaler Freiwilliger"





"Internationale Freiwillige" is the plural and would translate to "International Volunteers" or it would be singular female, but use the male singular form that is neutral and can be used if any gender is meant. only insecure people who want to be ubercorrect or feminist warriors use the Binnen-I, that would be:


"Internationale, freiwillige MitarbeiterInnen" then for plural, but as said, it is nonsense imho.|||Yes, that is correct.
