Dear all,
I have not yet about above mentioned certificates but i have experience for the language of Burmese to English and English to Rohingya. If you are required that then you can contact me.

Thank you so much.
Sincerely Yours;

Thank you Faroque! For the Burmese language, we have our wonderful Language Leads who are able to verify the translators by reviewing their work. No need to provide any certificates to become verified, you only need to provide good translations into Burmese

Hi,

I would like to join as a volunteer in your platform. I am from the Philippines and a native speaker of Filipino (tagalog).I would like to engage in the translation of English (US) to Fiilipino (tagalog). However, it seems that there is no test available for my target language I signed up for.

I have no translation certification such as Proz PRO certificate, ATA, ITI or CIOL accreditations, and since there is no qualification test available for my target language, would you assist me on how can I get qualified as a KATO/TWB translator?

Hoping to hear from you the soonest. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Lavitz

**oliviathayer** · April 5, 2019, 7:29am

Hi @Lavitz! I’m so glad you’re interested in helping us with English-Tagalog translations.

While certain tasks are restricted to verified translators, we often have tasks that can be claimed by any translator for that language pair, whether you’re verified or not. It looks like there aren’t any available at the moment, but keep an eye out for them and consider changing your email settings to “Daily” so you get notified as soon as a task becomes available.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

**nova** · April 27, 2019, 4:45am

I would like to ask how much time is provided for completion of the test.

**Kakau** · April 27, 2019, 6:47am

Hi @nova.
You can have more details about the tests reading and following these instructions: http://elearn.translatorswb.org/
I hope it will help.
If you keep with any doubt, don’t hesitate to ask.
Good luck!
My best.

**nova** · April 27, 2019, 3:47pm

Thank you, Claudia, for your prompt response. I am still not able to find an answer to my question. No big deal. I will find out once I start the test

**Kakau** · April 27, 2019, 6:35pm

Hi @nova!
I think that you’re worry about the time in hours, once you talked in start the tests.
About that matter don’t worry as well.
Once started each module, you will have sufficient time to reading and listening each question and check your understanding. It’s the most important:

I’m sending to you more info about practice details for enrollment.
In the future, I’ll friendly suggest you make your questions on the respective topic.
It may give to you a quickly response.
There’s a menu and a searching tool on the top of the page for reference.
My best.
