Still have questions?

No qualifications are required to become a translator, but it is preferable to have a good command of the language you are translating into. If it is not your mother tongue, it is advisable to be a language student or to already have experience in translation. You need to be able to read and write well in French to understand the original text and not distort the message.

You translate at your own pace; we don't ask you to do a specific number of files. If you translate more than 10,000 words (between 20 and 30 files), we can reward your commitment by giving you a certificate of solidarity translation.

On average, a fact sheet is 300 words long. We estimate that it takes between 15 and 30 minutes to improve the proposed machine translation. Please note the following points: Keep sentences simple and avoid using dialect. Explain ideas that are specific to French culture and administration (attestation, renewal, etc.) but keep the important words if there is no translation in your language. Avoid word-for-word translation; don't hesitate to correct the machine translation. You can stop translating a file at any time. Your progress is recorded, and that's a big help!

Thanks to your precious help, the people who use the site and the application can find the information in their own language. It's also an enriching experience for you, as you learn to use a new tool, improve your French and contribute to a national project.

Translating Réfugiés.info into a new language is possible. The decision depends on current events and the number of people who might be interested in this new language.
