How are translators paid?
We generally prefer to pay via bank transfer, check or wire transfer. We are also able to process payment via Paypal and Moneybookers. In exceptional circumstances (or when electronic payment is not available in a particular country) payment can be made via international bank transfer or a cheque in the home currency of the translator..
For UK payments, we generally prefer to pay via bank transfer (BACS). For USA payments, we pay by check or wire transfer. We are also able to process payment via Paypal and Moneybookers. In exceptional circumstances (or when electronic payment is not available in a particular country) payment can be made via international bank transfer or a check in the home currency of the translator. However, if the compensation for a single job is under GBP100 (or the equivalent amount in another currency), Translation Central will put the payment on hold and try to assign the same translator more jobs in order for the final compensation to be at least GBP100. If Translation Central fails to assign the translator other jobs within a period of three months, the payment will then be processed even if the value is less than GBP100. In all cases, Translation Central will pay the sender’s bank charges but the translator will pay his own bank charges in order to receive the money.
