Translation editing

Review a translated manuscript for natural target-language expression, meaning and internal consistency.

04

Bilingual comparison

Compare source and target passages to identify omissions, additions or shifts in intent.

05

Glossary and style memory

Create a shared record of names, places, protected terms, dialogue choices and recurring phrases.

06

FAQ

Literary translator work and account questions

Is translator registration free?+

Yes. Add your professional profile and language pairs without a monthly fee. The 5% platform commission applies to successfully paid work.

How should I price a book translation?+

Choose a project, word, character or page basis that suits your market, then state exactly what is included in revision, terminology and delivery.

Can I list several language pairs?+

Yes, but specify direction and proficiency accurately. Literary translation into a strongest target language should be clear to clients.

Who is responsible for translation rights?+

The client must hold or obtain the required translation and publication rights. The translator should confirm scope and avoid unauthorised work.
