@Suzanne I’m glad its not just me ! Do we have any ideas why this is happening ? have you managed to do any projects yet ?
No I don’t know, I have volunteered for TWB for a few years and this is the first time it has happened to me.
Hello @Suzanne and @Jessica3 
Thank you for your question, I sometimes doubt my tech-savviness as well but this time it’s about Kató Platform settings 
You’ve raised a great point. We did change the Kató Platform homepage recently to show only available tasks for the language pairs listed in your profile. This way, you don’t have to wade through tasks that do not apply to you 
If you can’t find any Spanish tasks in the drop down list it simply means that there are currently no tasks available in that language combination. I suggest that you turn your email notifications on so you can receive an email every time a task in your language pairs becomes available 
I hope this makes sense, please let me know if you have any questions!
Hi @_carolina
I’m also waiting for the results, just as @Jessica3. How will they be announced to us? Via email? I can’t wait to start contributing! Thank you in advance for your assistance 
Ciao @michelap 
As I mentioned, it usually takes 3/4 weeks. If by then you haven’t received an email from us, please feel free to post in this thread and ask about your test.
In the meantime you can still claim tasks which are not restricted to Kató Verified Translators only 
please let me know if there’s anything else I can help out with!

Thanks @_carolina That all makes sense. I have my email alerts turned on but I haven’t received any for a while so I was just double checking that there was nothing available and I wasn’t missing out on anything.
Have a good day.
Suzanne
Thank you so much, you’re very kind
I’m glad I could help New projects are uploaded every day, so hopefully you’ll find some interesting tasks soon!

I got an email today with a whole pile of ES-en tasks. So hopefully you guys got an email or managed to pick a task up? The ES-en jobs can be few and far between and there can be a scrabble for them when they arrive. We are all just so keen (but lovely )

hi @_carolina a task came up with my language combination and I clicked on Claim Task, and downloaded the file then clicked that I promised to translate the document. However, then it came up saying that someone else had claimed it , does this mean I am no longer needed to translate it ? I don’t want to get it wrong and then miss the deadline… bit confused !
Hello @Jessica3
I have just checked your Claimed tasks and I’m afraid that another translator claimed the task. It must have been a matter of seconds 
The task will be translated by someone one else. I hope you can find plenty of interesting tasks you can work on 
Let me know if there’s anything else I can help out with!
@Jessica3 Hi. Are you waiting for Es - En tasks too? If so you have to be seriously fast to get them. I’ve been hovering for nearly a week now with no task to do and I guess there are lots more like me/us 
.
I might start translating random documents on the internet and send them to the owners to keep my mind busy

i haven’t managed to translate anything yes and yes also es-en !! best of luck I hope we get something soon !
ah okay that’s fine I just didn’t understand the process I think . thanks for getting back to me ! better luck next time
@Jessica3 When I started there was nothing for about 6 weeks (but that was during lockdown) and then one day it rained oodles of tasks. Then there were so many tasks for what felt like months and it gets close to burnout level. So a bit of a break is nice. Don’t give up, it’s just how they fall.
I’m using the time to work on my language skills so I don’t lose those as I think it’s important to maintain those too as a translator.
It’s good to meet a fellow ES-EN translator 
I’d ask you all sorts of questions to get to know you better but you might not want that from this site. 
Anyhow, if you want anything, feel free to ping me a message, or post on here. They’re a friendly bunch

Hi @_carolina,
I see we, the translators have been keeping you busy, I can’t help hopping in. My homepage keeps showing old tasks, some are from 2018, some are unclaimed but recently expired.
Is it okay if I claim some expired tasks when I have spare time since those NEVER disappear from my homepage (which is sometimes annoying as the new tasks get lost amidst the old ones)?
Regards,
Sifat

Hello @sifatnoor
I don’t mind you hopping in at all 
I understand how frustrating it can be to so be keen and full of enthusiasm, and then find no tasks available. Regarding your question, old tasks shouldn’t show up 
if they do, it might be a tech problem so thanks for flagging! Could you please send me a screenshot of what you see in your homepage?

Hello @sifatnoor 
All old Bengali tasks are unpublished now so your homepage should only show the new ones. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!
