Hello @Maryam.elshazly, firstly, welcome to the TWB community! :tada:

Thanks for reaching out here :slight_smile: I had a look at your profile and it looks all good!

When you cannot see any tasks in the homepage, it means that at the moment you are looking there are no available tasks, but no worries - we post new tasks all the time, so keep an eye out :eyes:

I also see you set up your task email notifications settings to receive daily updates, so when new tasks become available for you, you’ll be notified :incoming_envelope:

If you haven’t yet, please take a look at our Translator’s Toolkit, where you’ll find plenty of useful resources, or take our Introduction to Humanitarian Translation for the TWB Community - it’s a great way to get started with TWB :sunny:

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello,
Hope you all doing well.
I rarely find a task to work on. And I really want to work on more projects since all I did is just one task.

Hello @alhajri.rms

Thanks for your interest in working on tasks with TWB, that means a lot to us! :dizzy:

We’re sorry you haven’t had access to tasks recently. The homepage only shows tasks available at the time you are looking. If you cannot see any tasks in your language pairs, don’t worry. We post new tasks all the time, so keep an eye out! :eyes:

I see you are signed up to receive task stream emails. You will receive an email when tasks are available in your language pairs :+1:

Let us know if you have any questions :innocent:

Hi @musevenifreddy001, thanks for your message :slight_smile:

Apologies for this inconvenience - sometimes this might happen when the PMs need to implement changes to the project and need to revoke it.

I see you have already claimed many tasks to work on, so I am sure you can support us with these other tasks :raised_hands: Thank you!!

Hello! I just claim a task and I wasn’t redirected to the page on which I am supposed to click on the button “Yes, I promise I will translate this file”.

Is it because I need to be approved by the project manager first? or how can I access that page so that I am sure I am in charge of translating that task? Thanks!

you don’t need to be approved for your translation
it must be a technical glitch

Hello @OrielaB and welcome to TWB! :star2:

:white_check_mark: As @soke35 kindly mentioned, you don’t need to be approved to do a translation work. I believe that by the time you wanted to claim the task, another volunteer had already claimed it. Another possible reason is that the task you wanted to claim is only available for verified translators.

:white_check_mark: There are always several choices of tasks to claim for sure! If you’d like to learn more about how to claim a task, take a look at this tutorial.

:white_check_mark: Also, you may find it useful to take a look at the translator’s toolkit that includes information and instructions on how to use the TWB Platform.

Please let us know if you have any questions :innocent:

Hello Everyone!

So I claimed my first task here, but I can’t find it anywhere. There is no (claimed task) option on the bar (between home and profile). I would appreciate your help! I closed the browser before I clicked on (Translate using Memsource), so how can I find the task I claimed and start translating it with the TWB Memsource account? Because I have to use the Memsource TB for this task

Thank you!

Hi @Areej91 !

When you claim a task, they send you an email with the URL of the project. Check if you received it.

I hope it helps :slightly_smiling_face:

Have a good day!

Good morning Alessandra, I’m new to TWB! This information is very useful. I’m trying to search for available tasks but I cannot see any (with or without language filter), do I need to do something in order to start working on projects?
Thank you!

Hello, I claimed a task but it did not appear the “confirmation button”; why is that happen?
Maybe I did not claim well the task? :thinking:
Thank you in advance for your time and answer.

Hi @abby.mont and welcome to TWB! :tada:

I checked your claimed tasks and I’m afraid that I didn’t find any task claimed by you :confused: it seems that it was a matter of seconds when you were about to confirm claiming the task and another translator claimed it just before you did :sweat_smile: but no worries, there’s always a chance to find new tasks, keep an eye on the homepage and the notification email you receive to catch another task soon :wink:

Hi @MCI and welcome to TWB! :partying_face:

I can confirm that everything is working fine for you :+1: :100: :white_check_mark: but now the homepage only shows the tasks available in the language pairs you listed in your profile, so now, with or without filters, you can only see the tasks in the language pair English to Spanish, and if you can’t see tasks, it means that there are no tasks on the time you’re looking :eyes: but if you keep an eye on the homepage and the notification emails you recive, I’m sure you’ll find some tasks soon! :wink:

#85

I cannot find tasks either. Not only in my language pair, but no translation tasks at all. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for help…

#86

Hi @Miruschki and welcome to TWB! :tada:

Actually the homepage now only shows the tasks available in the language pairs you listed in your profile, so now, with or without filters, you can only see the tasks in the language pair German to French. \That’s why I’d suggest that you add other language pairs, English to German, and French to German for instance :wink:

If you can’t see tasks, it means that there are no tasks on the time you’re looking :eyes: but if you keep an eye on the homepage and the notification emails you receive, you may find some tasks soon! :innocent:

I hope this helps! :sunflower:
