How to become a TWB Verified Translator?

Hello @mariem.ichentane, I am sorry you were not able to access many tasks recently. I had a look at your profile, and everything looks good to me!

You should be able to access most tasks in your language pair - you can find all our available tasks from our homepage here :house:

I see you also signed up to receive daily notifications - you’ll receive a daily recap of all available tasks in your languge pairs :slight_smile:

To have more chances to be the first to claim a task, I suggest keeping an eye on the homepage :eyes:

Thanks for your support, Mariem - let us know if you have any questions :white_flower:

Hi @bryaribrahim20, thanks for your message!

As mentioned in the thread description above :top:, our general criteria state that to become verified, translators should receive approximately 6 task reviews, with an average mark of 3.5 or above (out of 5). Your score is really good, but it’s based on one review only.

We regularly check our volunteer translators’ eligibility to become verified, so we’ll surely reach out to you as soon as you qualify to become verified :blush:

Thanks a lot for your support and let us know if you have further questions :pray:

I did my two tests from German and English to Italian and never received a feedback .

Hi @vanessabottero,

We are very sorry that it wasn’t possible for us to deliver feedback on your tests :white_flag:. We send you an email :email: a couple days ago to give you more information on it.

I hope that helps.

Hi everyone, I hope you are well :blush:

I just wondered if I could ask you as I completed a test to become verified for my Spanish into English language pair a few months ago in March, I wondered if there was any news about this test, or whether it may still be valid?

Thank you very much for all of your help, I really appreciate it :tulip:

Best wishes

Hi @elissa.cosby :white_flower:

We know that the vereification tesets were done months ago, but the number of tests in the language pairs EN<>ES is quite high :1234: :confused: we are doing our best to clear this backlog and verify the translators, hopefully we can do it soon :pray: we will let you know as soon as your test is revised :innocent:

Thank you for understanding :orange_heart:

Hi everyone here and hope you are all well.
I registered as a volunteer a few days ago and completed the only task I had access to. What should I do if I need some other translators to review and rank my task so that I can got verified? Thank you very much!

Hi @Janegaojian and welcome to TWB! :tada:

Thanks for working on your first task and for caring about receiving feedback!

When the revision of your translation is complete, you can download the revised version to see the changes made, if any, and check the task reviews to see if you receive feedback. You’ll find the relevant buttons in the task description as you can see in the example below :arrow_down_small:


We always encourage our revisers to leave feedback on the translation work. However, this is not mandatory, so you won’t always receive it :confused: but once you receive positive feedback a few times, we will consider verifying you :smiley:

Hope that I could make it clear to you. Please let us know if you have any questions :dizzy:

Hi!
I’ve just joined TWB recently and I check everyday for tasks and there is nothing at all. I’m wondering if I need to do anything for tasks to appear.

Hi @Haj and welcome to TWB!

I checked your profile and made some tiny changes to help you find tasks:

:white_check_mark: I added the language pair English to Arabic (the tasks in this language pair are much more than the ones in Arabic to English :eyes:)

:white_check_mark: I changed your preferences so you receive more emails when tasks are available :wink:

Remember to keep an eye on the homepage as we post tasks all the time, and I’m sure you’ll find something soon :innocent:

I hope this helps! please let me know if you need any help :dizzy:

Hi @AnneLaure

I could see that you did receive very good reviews! :star2: We often do regular checks to verify new translators upon receiving multiple positive feedback. I’ll send you an email next week to let you know what we come up with :wink:

Dear Ambra,
last year I did a translation for a competition of TWB. I think they appointed me as a verified translator, but I don’t have any paper where I can see it and I don’t remember the dates. Could you check it for me? if so, can you send it to me via mail to: isabel.sanllehi@gmail.com
Thank you so much!

Hi @Isabel and thank you for reaching out!

When we verify translators, we update their level in their profiles, you can check your profile to see that you became verified in the language pair English to Spanish :innocent:

Please let me know if you have any questions :dizzy:

Hello,

I’ve completed 10 translations tasks (totalling over 11000 words) over the past few weeks but I can’t see any reviews yet. Becoming a verified translator would be good but that’s not the primary goal, what I would really like is to know how well/bad I did on these translations. How can I see whether a task has been reviewed but hasn’t been rated yet/won’t be rated at all?

Thank you!

Hi @nicolas8889 :wave:

Firstly, thank you for caring about the quality of your work, this is much appreciated :star2:

I’m sorry that you haven’t recieved any feedback on your translation tasks yet :confused: we do encourage our volunteers to leave feedback when completing revision tasks, but as you may know, this is not mandatory, that’s why it’s not always left.

On the other hand, when the revision of a translation task is submitted (which can be a few days after submitting the translation), you’ll be able to “Download the complete revised version”, so even when no feedback in the “Task reviews” is left, seeing the revised version can still be helpful to know if any changes/improvements were applied to the translation, and it may give you an idea on how well you’ve done.

I really hope this helps! Please let me know if any further assitance is needed :dizzy:

Hi @Aya.Alrifai,

Thank you for your message.
Sadly, it really feels like the status of verified translator is a “private turf”, which is a shame in such a beautiful community.
I think the reviews should be made mandatory, they would help everyone grow and with great power comes great responsibility…

Thank you,
Nicolas
