Requirements from translators

Language skills

As a professional translator, you know that speaking a language is not enough to produce professional translations. We only work with certified translators, who have passed a certification exam from a known body.

You will need to supply scanned documents showing your translation skills for each language that you select to work in.

We only accept applications to translation to your native language and from languages in which you have an academic degree in translation.

Your identity

We must be able to validate your identity. Your personal details (name and email) will be kept private in the systems and are not accessible to other users (clients or translators).

Practice project

Before you start working on live projects, we request that you do a quick practice project. The purpose is not to test your language skills, but to help you get acquainted with the translation system.

The practice project contains two pages and very little text. It usually takes about 15 minutes to complete. During your work on the practice project, a staff member is available to guide you through the system.

Getting paid

We can pay you through a PayPal account. If you don't have a PayPal account and want to sign up on ICanLocalize we recommend that you start setting your PayPal account soon. It's free and takes a very short time to set up.
