What’s Next After I Finish My Translation Task?

Before the project is delivered to the client

If you’re the Lead Translator, be on the lookout for the job to come back to your for the Revision step.

If you’re the Proofreader, please keep an eye on Slack in case the Lead Translator has any questions about your comments/changes.

It is also possible that the Honyaku Team will have questions for you during the QA stage, so please simply keep an eye out for any communication from us.

After the project is delivered to the client

Once the project is done and delivered to the client, we begin to prep your payment.

Please be aware that most clients do not pay us until the end of the month that we deliver the project. Because of the impact this has on cash flow, we pay our translators at the end of the month after the month we deliver the project to the client.

• Please note that some long-term projects may not pay until after the entire project is complete. The Honyaku Cloud managers will be sure to keep you in the loop in these situations.

If you are being paid for the first time or have recently changed your payment information, first double-check that the bank/payment details in your Honyaku Cloud “Account” settings are accurate.

Next, check out the “Invoicing” section of the platform to find details about your upcoming and completing payments. You can click on “View Invoice” to access and download the invoice for your local records.

Of course, please get in touch with us if you have any financial questions or concerns.

And that’s it!

Maybe you already have a new job assigned or coming your way, or maybe it’s time for a well-earned break.

Whatever the case, keep in touch with the community and the Honyaku Cloud team on Slack and brush up on the “Resources” (like this one) any time you get a chance.

We couldn’t do it without you!
