Recruit Translators Faster with Zingword Search
The only online tool you need to instantly find the right translator(s) for your project.
We all know how searching for professional translation services has worked in the industry so far. If you don’t already have project-fitting translators in your database or network, you need to scour the internet and post job ads on various websites and social media. Oftentimes, there is no way to check the translators’ reliability or the quality of their work. Most industry staffing tools also do not guarantee you will find the right match, focusing more on whoever’s available than the expertise you need for your project. This, of course, can be time consuming, slow down your progress and affect the quality of the translation itself.
We’ve decided it’s time to bring more speed, agility and trust into your translation staffing processes. Enter: Zingword Search.
Speedy matching with expert translators
Matching with translators on Zingword is an extremely fast process that allows you to prioritize your project’s requirements. Instead of having to outline a full translation brief and wait for replies to your job post, you can instantly discover translators whose specialization is exactly what your project needs.
With Zingword, you can narrow down your search results precisely, so that they only show translators who qualify for your project. Here’s an example of how our search process works.
- First, enter your required language pair and select the locale for your target language.
- Use our enterprise search to instantly narrow your query to translators who match what you are looking for. You can put in anything that would match your ideal translator.
- Filtering your search results by subject matter or required tool is also a great way to find specialized translators with the know-how you need.
- Finally, you can also select additional requirements, such as for the translator to be “Native” or “Certified.
In the example used above, we narrowed down the search results precisely for English to Latin American Spanish translators who specialize in medicine, are certified, and have listed experience translating medical device documents.
This way, rather than facing you with a myriad of profiles you would need to review and contact, Zingword narrows down your search results and leaves you with a list of translators that are perfect for your specific project. Additionally, it ranks translators by how well they fit your query and by their expected credibility, meaning your best matches will appear at the top.
Ensured translator reliability and transparent pricing
Apart from matching with the right talent, translation managers and buyers need to know who they are working with in order to ensure quality for their project, and/or their clients. We’ve kept this in mind. Zingword translator profiles are jam packed with crucial information for recruiters — education, certification, subject matter qualification, and more, which allows you to quickly select your candidates.
Of course, you also need to know whether you can trust the presented information. This is why our team validates every translator profile and verifies the identity of each translator we feature, so you know we’re only matching you with verified professionals.
Another thing that usually takes up a lot of time for recruiters, vendor managers and direct clients alike are pricing negotiations. In order to make this aspect of the staffing process as smooth as possible, we’ve made it possible for you to see the starting rates each translator works from.
This allows you to set a good starting point for your collaboration, and a framework for how to handle budgeting for your project. Of course, you can always negotiate the final price for your translation project in ZingChat.

As ZingChat proves, your translation management via Zingword doesn’t stop at the search results alone, nor does it end at agreeing on a price and deadline. In fact, you can now manage your whole project, build a translator team, exchange files and more, all in one place, and for free!
