Each year, on September 30th, translators all around the world unite to celebrate International Translation Day 
– and what better way to celebrate than to support the pivotal role of translation in fostering understanding and improving humanitarian communication with communities? TWB has decided to celebrate it in style, holding our first Translation Marathon, or #TWBTranslatathon! 
The marathon runs from Saturday 28th September at 10:00 AM CEST until Monday 7th October at 2:00 AM CEST 
and is open to all translators working in our three most demanded language pairs:
English to Arabic, English to French, and English to Spanish!
How to participate:
-
Register here.
-
Complete translations, revisions, and translation tests (this is for those who want to become a Verified Translator, as well as for those who help us reviewing those tests!) before Monday 7th October at 2:00 AM CEST
For the marathon purposes only, revision and tests review tasks will count half of their volume. -
Meet other translators and ask questions to a member of our staff in the live chat
and take part in the live webinars and meet and greet sessions that we are going to host. Please register in advance if you want to attend any of these webinars! You can do so by clicking on the links below.

It seems that we don’t have any tasks available for Kató Translators, however, we have many English to Spanish tasks available for Kató Verified Translators. To have access to them, you need to become a verified translator. You can learn more about it
