Take written translation jobs

Opt in to written work, accept document jobs with a due date, and deliver the finished translation with its word count.

Written translation jobs are documents, not appointments: you get a source file and a due date instead of a time and place, and you're paid by the word instead of by the hour. They show up alongside your regular assignments with their own card.

Step by step

  1. 1On your profile, tick "I offer written translations" so agencies can send you document work.
  2. 2When a job is offered, the card shows the document type, language, due date, and the source file; accept or decline like any other offer.
  3. 3Download the source document and translate it.
  4. 4Click Deliver on the card, upload your finished translation, and enter the word count.
  5. 5The coordinator reviews your delivery. If it's sent back, the card shows their note; fix the file and deliver again.
  6. 6Once accepted, the job is complete and pays by the word at your per-word rate.

Tips

  • Watch the due date; the card shows an overdue badge once it passes.
  • The word count you enter drives your pay (words times your per-word rate, with a minimum), so count the words in the finished translation carefully.
  • Delivered and accepted jobs are read-only; if you spot a problem after delivering, contact the agency rather than re-uploading.
