The method

A quiet workspace, an honest reviser.

INTERLING follows the rhythm of a real assignment, from brief to delivery, with feedback that explains itself.

  1. 01

    The brief

    Every assignment arrives with a fictional client, a purpose, an audience and a glossary. You choose the sector, the document type, the difficulty and the length.

  2. 02

    The workspace

    Source on the left, your translation on the right. Word counts follow you as you type, and your draft saves itself every few seconds.

  3. 03

    Ask the client

    Unsure about a term or the register? Ask. The client answers in character, and will even negotiate a fictional fee.

  4. 04

    The assessment

    Submit when you are ready. A reviser scores your work against the sector's own criteria and shows the evidence behind every point.

  5. 05

    The archive

    Every brief, draft and assessment is kept, searchable by sector, language pair, difficulty and score.

  6. 06

    The portfolio

    Gather your strongest work into a portfolio that says plainly what it is: practice, done well.

The daily mystery challenge

One sealed brief a day.

Sector, client and language pair stay hidden until you accept. Then the clock starts, set by the length of the text, its difficulty and the density of its terminology.

  • Your pairs only

    Drawn from the directions you translate.

  • Timed by the studio

    The server keeps time, even if you close the tab.

  • No penalty

    Decline at any point before the deadline.

The translator's code

Seven principles, before the first word.

Before your first assignment you accept a short code of ethics. It is practice, but the habits are professional.

  1. I

    Faithfulness

    Convey the meaning, intent and tone of the source without distortion, embellishment or personal interpretation.

  2. II

    Completeness

    Translate the whole text. When something cannot be rendered, say so openly instead of leaving it out in silence.

  3. III

    Impartiality

    Keep your own opinions out of the text and treat every client, subject and reader without bias.

  4. IV

    Confidentiality

    Treat every brief, name and document as private, even in a practice environment.

  5. V

    Terminological responsibility

    Research terms with care, follow the agreed glossary and keep terminology consistent from start to finish.

  6. VI

    Professional communication

    Communicate with clients clearly, courteously and honestly, including about deadlines and the limits of your expertise.

  7. VII

    Requesting clarification

    When the source is ambiguous or incomplete, ask the client rather than guess.

  8. Accepted once. Renewed only when the code changes.

The portfolio

Practice, documented honestly.

Choose your best assessed work and save it as a PDF portfolio with a cover, contents, excerpts, scores and feedback. Every page says exactly what it is.

This portfolio contains simulated educational translation assignments and fictional clients. It demonstrates practice work and learning progress and does not constitute proof of real employment, commercial engagements, or verified professional experience.
