Hi Areej, I can see that your mail notifications are set up correctly, so you should be receiving daily notifications about available tasks. You can also search for them yourself, this video tutorial explains how to do it

Hi, I know that but there isnāt any filters for the Arabic language as a source languageā¦
Hi, if Arabic is not listed in the drop-down menu either as a source or target language, it means itās not available at the moment.

Hello @dhuhaomer55 welcome to TWB! Great to hear you have already claimed a task 
Most of our tasks require you to use our CAT tool, KatĆ³ TM. Here are some links to help you learn how to use it: video tutorial, FAQs, Doās and Donāts, and Handling tags and untranslatable segments. 
If you havenāt already done so, have a look at our welcome pack, where youāll find more useful links on getting started in KatĆ³ Platform. 
Have a lovely day!

Hello Alessandra,
Recently, I noticed that the Claim a Task page seems to have changed. In the past, when I logged in, I could see a list of all available tasks, but now, it automatically filters based on my language pairs. Over the past few weeks, there have never been any tasks for my language pairs, which I thought was strange. Over the past few days, I have been clicking on the tags, (covid, health, etc.) on the right side of the screen, because they allow me to view some of the tasks that are currently available. Both today and yesterday, I have been able to see tasks in one of my language pairs (EN to FR) by clicking on those tags. Why do those tasks not appear on the main page given that they are in one of my language pairs? Also, when I try to click on these tasks, the system tells me I donāt have the authorization to view them. This has never happened to me before. I am wondering whether the specific tasks I saw are reserved for verified translators (I am not verified for EN to FR) or if there is an issue with the system. Many thanks for any help you might be able to provide! Melissa

Hi @Melissa1 thanks for your message! Youāve raised a great point. We did change the KatĆ³ Platform homepage recently to show only available tasks for the language pairs listed in your profile. This way, you donāt have to wade through tasks that do not apply to you 
I have just had a look at tasks listed under the covid tags as you mentioned, and you are right, all three EN>FR tasks require verified translators.
Generally we do have a greater demand for translations from English, but Iām sure translations in your language pairs will appear soon, so keep an eye out! 
Hope this helps, but let us know if you have any futher questions!

Thanks so much Joanna! This clears things up. I think I will aim to write the EN-FR test as a next step as I am verified for my other combinations. Melissa
@Melissa1 youāre welcome! I would also mention that at TWB we encourage translators to translate into their native language, but you are welcome to take the test if you would like

me,too Have you deal with it?
Not sure if this question is addressed to meā¦if so, as Joanna mentions, the tasks donāt appear on the main page because for that specific pair, I am not a verified translator, and the clients for those tasks have requested they be completed by someone who is verified. I am planning on writing the test over the weekend, in the hopes of getting access to more tasks. If you are encountering the same issue as I am, I am guessing itās because you arenāt verified for a certain language pair and the client has requested a verified translator (this is based on my understanding of Joannaās response above).

Thanks for your help,I am guessing the result of my issue as you have is that I am not verified .I am gonna to take the test now.
Hi @Melissa1
What you guessed is partially true. If you donāt see any available tasks in your language pair it means that currently there arenāt any tasks which match the language combinations you listed. Please check the Available tasks tab regularly as new projects are uploaded every day. You can also turn your email notifications on to receive updates when a task in your language pairs becomes available.
Being a KatĆ³ Verified Translator gives you access to all Translation and Revision tasks. I strongly encourage you to take the test because itās likely youāll find more tasks as a Verified Translator. I hope this makes sense, please reach out if something was unclear 
and good luck with the test!

Hello everyone! I am a student of translation and since last year I started, I became a part of the TWB Kato Community. My languages pairs are English- Greek, Greek-EngIish, French-English, English- French, Greek-French. In my profile, I have asked to receive task stream e-mail updates daily but they arenāt coming often. When I receive them the tasks are already claimed from someone else. How can I receive and claim more tasks? I have been wondering how can I become a verified kato translator? Are there any tests that I could do for any language pair and thus receive more translations projects to that language pair? I canāt become a verified kato translator through a membership to any organisation of translators and send the certification because I am still student. I want through the organisation such as Translators without borrdes to help other people and gain experience for my professional career.
Can someone help me and answer these questions, please? Thank you.

Hi @Panayiota_Mavroudi,
thank you for reaching out! I moved your message to this one about how to find and claim a task. You basically need to check the homepage www.trommons.org and log in as often as you can.
At the moment there are no tests to become a verified translator. You will became verified once you receive good reviews for your translations. I hope this helps.
Have a nice we!

I am sorry you havenāt 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, donāt worry. We post new tasks all the time, so keep an eye out 
I see you are signed up to receive task stream emails. You will receive an email when tasks are available in your language pairs 
I can also confirm what the kind @faretto5 has said, that once you receive multiple positive feedback on your translations, we can consider verifying you this way 
Donāt hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions, Panayiota
