How do I become a translator with Simply Translate?
Register with Simply Translate as a translator, and we will send you a questionnaire by e-mail. If you meet our requirements, we will send you a test translation to gauge your knowledge and skills. If you pass the test, then we create an official profile for you, and you can complete official translation projects.
Do I have to be registered as a translator with the Chamber of Commerce?
If you live in the Netherlands, then you must be registered with the Chamber of Commerce. If you do not have a valid ‘KvK’ number, then you unfortunately cannot work with us. Should you have questions about this, please contact us.
How do I get a translation project?
We offer translation projects based on your translation specialities. When we have a matching translation project, we send you an e-mail with the customer’s preferences (for example, the language combination, deadline, instructions and the rate). If you are the first to respond, then the translation project will be awarded to you.
I responded for a project, but have not received a project confirmation. Why not?
If you have not received a project confirmation, then the project has not (yet) been awarded to you. Contact your community manager for more information. Note: do not start working before you have received the project confirmation. This prevents misunderstandings.
I am fluent in multiple languages. Can I translate into multiple languages?
No, with Simply Translate, you may only translate into your own native language. Fluent mastery is not the same as mother-tongue mastery. If you were raised bilingually, you can indicate this in your registration.
Why can I only translate into my mother tongue?
A native speaker knows the nuances of a language like no one else. Even if you have fluent mastery of a foreign language, this level is not equal to that of a native speaker. In order to be able to achieve the best results, you may therefore only translate into your own native language.
I have a C2-level certificate. Does that count as ‘native speaker’?
If you have a level C2 certificate according to the European Reference Framework, you should indicate this when you register. Ensure that you can provide demonstrable proof of your certification. You will have the chance to complete a native speaker test with a test translation. If you pass this, you may be able to translate in multiple language combinations.
