Put your passion for language to work – anytime, anywhere
Our freelancers work remotely, they choose which projects to accept and are paid per project. And they do it on their own time – night owls, early birds and everyone in-between – while making sure to respect our deadlines.
Freelance linguists and specialists who work with us aren’t just names on a screen – they’re at the core of what we do, and their success is truly our success. That’s why we provide comprehensive feedback on projects and recognize outstanding freelancers for going above and beyond.
Please note that due to a recent change of employment rules, we currently are not accepting applications from freelancers located in the state of California.
What makes a great translator or transcriptionist?
Our freelancers possess the relevant education, training and experience to handle projects that require specific tools and expert skill sets.
Our freelancers are detail-oriented, able to follow complex instructions and interested in researching unfamiliar terms or concepts as needed.
Our freelancers respond promptly and clearly to emails, and show flexibility in adapting their work, both to incorporate feedback and to accommodate our clients’ evolving needs.
Freelancing isn’t for everyone. Our most successful (and satisfied) professionals are experienced, organized, motivated self-starters who work independently while regularly communicating with our team and sharing updates on their assignments.
If that sounds like you, it’s time to get in touch!

Red flags to watch for:
Contact through WhatsApp, Telegram, or other messaging apps – we do not recruit through these types of apps
Requests for banking details, or personal financial information over email
Job offers that seem too good to be true
Job offers from individuals not part of Multilingual Connections

All legitimate job communications come through email from our official domain or through our official accounts on LinkedIn, ProZ, Upwork, etc.
We never request financial information outside our secure vendor portal

If you receive suspicious contact claiming to be from Multilingual Connections, please forward it to us. When in doubt, contact us directly through our website.
