Speaker 1: In this video, we show you the 7 best websites to find freelance translation jobs online. Most of these platforms are free to use, and for some, you don't even need to have a degree or certificate to start working and earning a decent income. So if you're fluent in a second language, make sure to not miss these opportunities. Let's begin. 1. Fiverr Fiverr is definitely one of the most popular websites for freelancers out there. Here you can register for free, create a profile, and set so-called gigs to sell your services. If clients like your offer, they can book your gig, and you can start working straight away. Translation jobs are amongst the most popular services on this platform. You don't need to prove your language skills or any type of test before you start working. But of course, you should be honest with your level of language proficiency and your previous experience in translation jobs. How much you charge per job is up to you. Some people use the platform as a side hustle, others use it to make a full-time income. Here are some examples. One freelancer charges $45 to translate 1,000 words from English to Thai. Another one asks for $100 to translate the same number of words from English to German. And again. Others charge rates starting from $250 for translating short books, while it is free to use. Fiverr, the platform, keeps a certain percentage of your earnings, but you never have to pay anything upfront, or pay more than what you've earned. 2. Upwork Upwork is another freelance platform, just as popular as Fiverr to find translation jobs online. However, on this platform, the job-finding process is the other way around. That means that here clients post their jobs, and you can apply for open positions. Simply use the Job Search function and set the filter according to your preferences. Once you've found a job that you find interesting, you can send your proposal. In this, you can tell the potential clients how much you'd charge for your service. Oftentimes, clients pay per hour. For instance, $10 to $30 per hour for translations from English to Greek, or per project. For example, $300 for translating documents to English, just as with Fiverr. Creating a profile and using Upwork is free. But if you find work on the platform, Upwork keeps a service fee of 10% of your earnings. 3. Pro-Z Pro-Z is an online community for experts in languages. On this platform, freelancers can find countless job offerings for translators. All you need to do is to create a profile for free, and you can get access to the job listings. There are currently more than 1,000 translation jobs available that you can filter to find the ones that work for your language combination. The job description usually tells you how many words or pages need to be translated, how much money you can earn, and when you get paid. Once you've found an offer that you like, you can send in your quote. The great thing about Pro-Z is that you can see how many freelancers have sent in their quotes for a particular job. And as you can see, there are many job postings that haven't received any or only a few quotes. That means your competition is fairly low, and your chances of getting the job are much higher than on other platforms. 4. Translate.com Translate.com is another platform that brings together freelance translators and clients. Once you've signed up for free, you need to take a language test to see if you qualify and what language level you have. The whole process only takes around 10-15 minutes. The great thing about this platform is that you don't need to apply for jobs, wait until someone reaches out to you, or need to bid for work. Instead, every task is first-come, first-served. This gives everybody a fair chance to get jobs. That also means there are no commitments, and you can work whenever you want, from wherever you want, and how much you want. Your income varies across languages and depends on customer demand and your job role. So if you work as a translator or also as an editor, for example, if you translate a presentation, you usually earn $15 per page. Document translations normally pay somewhere between $10 and $100 per order. If you are a certified translator, you can earn significantly higher rates.

Translators Cafe While the website itself admittedly looks like it could use an update, Translator Cafe is still one of the most popular places for freelancers to find translation jobs online. It's more of a directory of translators, interpreters, and translation agencies, where you can't only find jobs, but also access useful linguistic news and resources. The job board currently shows you hundreds of available translation jobs, with many of them recently published. If you scroll down, you can also filter for related jobs, like interpreting, localization, proofreading, transcription, or even voiceovers. In the descriptions of the job post, you can find more details about the job and the requirements. Then clients post their budget for the job as well. Once you're registered with Translators Cafe, you can access the client's contact details to apply for the job. 6. Translator Pub Translator Pub is yet another platform to bring freelance translators and clients together. The job board shows you hundreds of available jobs in the areas of translation, interpretation, voiceover, editing, and proofreading. Once you click on a job offer, you get more details about the job, like potential deadlines, your requirements, if there are any translation tools you need to use, and your pay rate. The only downside? Translator Pub is not free to use. You need to sign up for a membership to be able to apply for jobs. Prices start from €34 per month if you sign up for 3 months at a time, and you can extend your membership anytime. 7. Freelancer.com As the name suggests, the website Freelancer.com is another popular platform that brings together freelancers and clients. Big international companies like Amazon, Google, or Facebook source their freelancers from this platform, and that means plenty of high-quality job offerings for you. Here, you complete your profile for free and browse jobs that may suit you. Once you've found a job you'd like to do, you can send your best bet. If the client accepts your proposal, you can start working straight away. Translation jobs are particularly popular on this platform. For example, you can find Portuguese translation projects offering hourly rates of $15 to $25, or general translation services offering between $30 and $250 per project. Again, this freelance platform keeps a service fee of 10% on each payment you receive from your clients. As you can see, there are plenty of websites for freelance translation jobs online. For some, you have to pay a membership or a service fee, others are free to use. Most of the time, you don't need a degree or certificate to get started. You only need to be fluent in a second language and can start earning money today. We hope you've enjoyed this video and found the mentioned ideas helpful.
