Translated is a Rome-based agency that uses AI-assisted matching to distribute translation, localization and transcreation projects to freelancers. Unlike open job boards, the platform's project managers assign work based on past performance and subject-matter fit.

How Translated works for freelancers

Translators apply by submitting a CV and passing a language test. Once in the network, they receive project invitations by email or through the vendor portal. Each invitation shows the document type, word count, deadline and agreed rate. Translators accept or decline within a set window.

Rates and project flow

Rates are negotiated per project and depend on language pair, complexity and turnaround. Payment is net 30 days after invoice approval via bank transfer or PayPal. Because Translated acts as the client, freelancers do not need to chase end customers for payment.

Tips for getting hired on Translated

  • Keep your vendor portal profile updated with current availability
  • Deliver early on small projects to build trust for larger assignments
  • Ask your project manager for feedback after the first few jobs
