Linguist FAQ
I live outside of the UK. Can I apply for your roles?
Of course! Most of our opportunities are remote. This allows you to work from anywhere in the world, as long as you have a reliable internet connection and meet our technical requirements.
I'd like to apply for a role, but I'm not sure I meet the requirements.
Please review the requirements section in the job posting to understand the criteria needed to be successful in your application.
I'd like to work for other agencies as well, is that okay?
Yes, as a freelancer, you have the flexibility to choose which jobs and agencies you work with. Freelancers typically have the freedom to manage their schedules and commitments, allowing them to work with multiple clients or agencies simultaneously. Just ensure that you can meet the obligations and deadlines for each job you take on.
I've noticed that the role is a freelance one. Do I have to register somewhere to become one?
It is the professional’s responsibility to follow the rules of the country they live in, such as registering as a sole trader and paying due taxes. We recommend checking your government’s website regarding freelancing and consulting an accountant if needed before making any employment choices. Please refer to your country’s regulations for detailed information.
I currently have limited working time, e.g., due to childcare or care responsibilities. Can I still apply?
Absolutely! If given the role, you can accept job requests that fit your schedule and work as much as you are able.
What kind of documents do I need for the job application?
For freelance linguist positions, the standard documents include your CV, diplomas, ID, and references. Please refer to specific job offers for more details.
I was asked to complete a translation test. How much time do I have to complete it?
We are flexible with our tests. You can complete it at your convenience.
I failed the translation test. Can I apply again in the future?
Yes, you can reapply after a 6-month period.
How long do you usually take to make a decision on an application?
We aim to review applications within 2 weeks.
Do I need to sign an NDA to work on projects?
Yes, we require all linguists to sign an NDA prior to commencing cooperation. This ensures the secure handling of data and guarantees that the client’s information will not be shared with anyone else besides you.
How do you assign jobs to linguists, on a first-come, first-served basis?
We always choose the best candidate in terms of experience, education, and expertise. In cases where multiple linguists have similar profiles and if the project is urgent, our project managers may use a first-come, first-served basis. We also have a Linguist Reward Program, which prioritises those who have signed up for this program – see more info here. Our assigning processes are automated, so it is advised to check your mailbox regularly to avoid missing out on opportunities.
I know how to use CAT tools but I haven’t purchased a license. Can I still work for you?
Yes, absolutely. Our translators use our tools, such as SmartCat and memoQ, which we provide access to, so there is no need to purchase your own tools. Additionally, we offer support to help you get up to speed with our preferred tools, ensuring you can start working efficiently from day one.
How are translators compensated?
Translators are typically compensated on a per-word or per-hour basis, depending on the project. Payment terms and rates are discussed and agreed upon before starting any work. We offer competitive rates and timely payments to our freelancers.
Can you briefly walk me through the payment terms?
You will need to send us your invoice. Our payment terms are 45 days from the date the invoice is issued. We make payments via PayPal or Wise, with bank transfers available only for UK bank accounts. Pay-runs are conducted around the 15th and 30th of each month.
Is there any platform where I can connect with you and other linguists?
Please follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram. Our posts, events, and webinars are specifically tailored for you, our language experts.
