What we look for
Experience matters more for some work than others. Tell us what you've done.
- Native fluency. In the language you translate into, annotate or record in.
- A subject you know well. Such as law, medicine, engineering, finance or education.
- Reliability. Meeting deadlines and saying early when something will slip.
- Tools. CAT tools such as Trados, memoQ or Phrase for translators, or a willingness to learn ours.
Questions from linguists
Do I need a translation degree?
No. We look at your native language, your experience and how you do on a short test. A degree or certification helps, but practical experience in a subject counts too.
Can I work from anywhere?
Yes. Freelance translation, review, annotation and rating work is remote. Some interpreting work is on site in the city where the event is held.
How soon will I hear back?
We contact applicants when work in their languages and subjects comes up. That can be soon for in-demand pairs, or later for less common ones. We keep your details on file for future projects.
