How to become a TWB Verified Translator?

[charlotte1]

Hi @clr.queff

Firstly welcome to the TWB community!

I’m sorry to hear you’ve been unable to access tasks recently. We do upload new tasks all the time, so keep an eye out on the homepage

We completely understand that it can be difficult to access tasks, which will then allow you to become verified. We’re aware that this is an issue and we’re working on finding a solution

All I can do is encourage you to regularly check the homepage and I’m sure you’ll be able to find a task to work on soon

Thank you for your patience and understanding, Claire

Hi @charlotte1, @Silvia_Mauri, I hope you are both well, I just thought to ask you as I took the test to become verified for my Spanish into English language pair in March, and I know that TWB isn’t using the testing system anymore and so I was unsure whether my test would still be valid/corrected… I just thought to ask you! Thank you very much for all of your help Charlotte and Silvia,

Hi @elissa.cosby

Thanks for following up on your test!

We’re still processing the remaining tests and will of course let you know when the results are in!

Unfortunately, we still have a bit of a backlog with this language pair but our volunteer reviewers are working their way through them

Thanks for your patience, Elissa!

Hi Charlotte,
Thank you for you fast and kind answer.
I will keep monitoring the homepage and hope you can find an alternative solution for translators in my case with the verification process.
Kind regards,
Claire

Hello! I was wondering if someone could help me out… I just joined the community and I could love to become a certified translator… I understand I need to complete a task but so far I have none on my dock… is there another way I can take a test or do I just need to wait for a task to come up?

thank you!

[Silvia_Mauri]

Hi @marcediana, thank you for your message I’ve moved it to this thread where you have more information on how to become verified

I am sorry you were not able to work on many tasks recently the homepage only shows you available tasks at the time you are looking, so if you don’t see any tasks, it means that currently there are no available tasks in your language pair.

However, we post new tasks all the time, so keep an eye out!

I see you signed up to receive weekly task email notifications; if you would like to receive more frequent updates, follow these steps to edit your notification settings

Thank you for your support! Let us know if you have any other questions

Hi,
I wouldn’t think so
If your language pair isn’t available it also doesn’t show up in the drop down menus.

Hi @marvinkw, thanks for your message

I had a look at your profile and it looks complete

When you don’t see any tasks available on your homepage and your languages don’t appear in the drop-down menus, that just means that currently there are no available tasks in your language combinations - but we post new tasks all the time, so keep an eye out

I see you also signed up to receive daily email notifications, so as soon as a new task comes up you’ll be notified

Thanks for your support - let us know if there is anything else we can help you with

Good afternoon.
I took the Verified Translator test in March, and I haven’t received an answer yet. I understand that there is a backlog in some language pairs, and that probably includes mine (English to Spanish). I don’t mind waiting, but I wanted to check if my test is still pending.
Thanks.

Hi @Monidelac

Thanks for following up on your test! Unfortunately, we’re still working our way through the backlog

I can confirm that your test is still pending though!

In the meantime, you do still have access to tasks available to non-verified translators! You can find all available tasks on the homepage

[Monidelac]

Thank you very much for your answer, @charlotte1.
I will wait for the test results and check for tasks available to non-verified translators in the meantime.
Saludos!

Hi @Silvia_Mauri, @charlotte1,

I hope you are doing well!

I want to ask if there’s any news about my Arabic to English test!
I have made it about two months ago or maybe more than that.

Kind regards,
Dalia

[Silvia_Mauri]

Hi @Dalia1, I am very well thanks, I hope you are doing well too!

Thanks a lot for following up on your test and I’m sorry you have been waiting so long for your test results!

I reached out to the reviewer, so hopefully I’ll have some news for you soon

Thanks a lot for your patience, Dalia!

Dear, Mrs. @ambra

I have carried out all the steps to know the score of every task that I have made. However, the general review is not mentioned. Could you please tell me what to do in this regard?

Kind regards,

Zeinab

[Silvia_Mauri]

Hi @zeinabmohammed981997, thanks for your message

We always strongly encourage our translators to leave feedback on the translation tasks they review, but this is not mandatory - that’s why sometimes you won’t receive any feedback or you will receive just the scores without a general comment.

I hope this helps clarify this point, but let us know if you have any further questions

Hello, everyone! I just want to thank you for having upgraded my status to Verified Translator.
I’m really happy! I will continue doing my best with the future tasks, and I’m glad to be part of this community.

[corbinjustinrhodes]

I would like to know, how can I redo the verification exercise?

Hi @corbinjustinrhodes

Thanks for reaching out!

We’ve actually changed the way we verify translators because the testing system wasn’t sustainable for the size of the community!

You can read more about becoming verified in the information in the top of this thread
