Once approved as a partner with CLEAR Global, you can make your translation-ready (282.8 KB) content available for translation directly on the TWB Platform.
Each of your organization contacts submitting translation requests needs to be added to the organization by us before they are able to log on. Please provide us with the names and emails of people who need access to the TWB Platform.
To submit your translation request, go to the TWB Platform to log in.
Make sure to have your file ready in supported formats. The recommended file types are: DOCX, RTF, ODT, TXT, XLS, XSLX, PPT, PPTX, CSV, SRT, IDML. Please avoid PDFs and images with text. Old office file formats are also not supported. Make sure to accept all tracked changes and delete any comments before submission.
Provide as much relevant information as possible about your project. We encourage you to include instructions and reference materials when creating your translation request. This additional information will help translators to have a better understanding of what the text is about, what purpose it serves, and encourage them to help you.
Please respect our Fair Usage Guidelines and make sure to post projects under 5,000 words, and provide at least 1 week for every 2,000 words. Please note that delays cannot be ruled out.
