It’s important to provide as much detail as possible when posting a project to ensure that freelancers understand the scope of the project and can submit accurate proposals. Be clear about your budget and payment terms, and respond promptly to any inquiries or proposals from freelancers.

Find a project
- Check the job board: Hanslate has a job board where clients post projects they need completed. As a freelancer, you can browse through the available jobs and apply for any that match your skills and interests. To apply for a job, you’ll need to submit a proposal outlining how you can help the client and why you’re the best person for the job.
- Search for projects: In addition to the job board, you can also search for projects using the search function on the Hanslate website. You can use keywords related to your language skills, specializations, or other relevant search terms to find projects that match your interests.
- Network with clients: Another way to find projects is to network with clients on the platform. If you’ve completed projects for a client in the past, reach out to them to see if they have any new projects that you can help with.
- Optimize your profile: Make sure your freelancer profile is complete and professional-looking, as this is the first impression you make on potential clients. Include all relevant information about your language skills, specializations, experience, rates, and availability.
- Be responsive: When a client reaches out to you about a project, make sure to respond promptly and professionally. Clients are more likely to hire freelancers who are responsive and easy to work with.
- Be competitive with your rates: Set your rates based on your experience, expertise, and the level of service you offer. Be sure to make your rates competitive to attract potential clients.
- Ask for feedback: After completing a project, ask your client for feedback. Positive feedback can help you attract more clients on the platform.
By using these tips, you can increase your chances of finding projects on Hanslate and building a successful freelance language services business.
Payment issues
- Payment processing errors: There may be instances where there are technical errors in the payment processing system, which can lead to delayed or failed payments.
- Payment disputes: There may be instances where the client disputes the payment, leading to delays or even cancellation of payment.
- Payment transfer fees: Some payment methods may charge transfer fees or foreign transaction fees, which can reduce the amount of payment received by the freelancer.
- Payment currency conversion issues: If the payment is in a different currency than the freelancer’s bank account, there may be currency conversion issues, such as fluctuating exchange rates or additional fees for currency conversion.
To avoid these issues, it’s important to stay up-to-date with the platform’s payment policies and payment release timelines. Freelancers should also communicate with the platform’s support team if there are any payment-related issues, such as delays or disputes.
Dispute resolution
Ideally, when a dispute arises on a freelance language platform, the client and freelancer should first attempt to communicate directly with each other to resolve the issue. This can often be the quickest and most effective way to find a resolution that is satisfactory to both parties.
However, in some cases, it may be difficult or impossible to resolve the dispute through direct communication. For example, if one party is unresponsive or uncooperative, or if there is a significant language barrier, it may be necessary to involve the platform’s customer support team to mediate the dispute.
In general, it’s a good idea for both clients and freelancers to keep records of all communications and transactions related to a project, including messages exchanged on the platform, payment receipts, and any other relevant documentation. This can help to provide a clear record of the situation if a dispute does arise, and can make it easier to find a resolution that is fair to both parties.
Trust and safety
- Identity Verification: The platform may require clients and freelancers to verify their identities before they can participate in transactions. This can help to prevent fraudulent or malicious activity and build trust between clients and freelancers.
- Payment Protection: The platform may have payment protection measures in place to ensure that freelancers are paid fairly for their work. For example, the platform may hold payment in escrow until the project is completed to ensure that the client is satisfied with the work.
- Ratings and Reviews: Clients can leave ratings and reviews for freelancers based on their experience working together. This can help to ensure that future clients can choose reliable and trustworthy freelancers.
- Safety Guidelines: The platform may have specific safety guidelines in place to protect freelancers from harassment or other safety concerns. For example, the platform may prohibit clients from requesting personal contact information from freelancers or engaging in inappropriate behaviour during communication.
- Customer Support: The platform may have a responsive and helpful customer support team to help address any concerns or issues that clients or freelancers may have.
Overall, trust and safety are critical components of any successful freelance language platform. By implementing these measures and working together to build a culture of trust and respect, clients and freelancers can feel confident in the quality of their work and the fairness of their transactions.
Quality control
For clients
- Provide clear instructions: To ensure that the final product meets your expectations, be sure to provide clear and detailed instructions for the project, including any specific language requirements, style guidelines, or formatting requirements.
- Provide feedback: After receiving the completed project, review it carefully and provide feedback to the freelancer. This feedback can help improve the quality of future projects and ensure that the final product meets your needs.
- Rate the quality of work. Be sure to rate the quality of work honestly and fairly, as this can help other clients make informed decisions about working with the freelancer.
- Communicate issues promptly: If you encounter any issues with the project, such as language errors or formatting issues, be sure to communicate these issues to the freelancer promptly. This can help ensure that the issues are resolved quickly and that the final product meets your needs.
For freelancers
- Follow instructions carefully: To ensure that the final product meets the client’s expectations, be sure to follow the client’s instructions carefully, including any specific language requirements, style guidelines, or formatting requirements.
- Proofread and edit: Before delivering the completed project to the client, proofread and edit it carefully to ensure that there are no language errors or formatting issues.
- Seek feedback: After delivering the completed project to the client, seek feedback from the client to identify areas for improvement and ensure that future projects meet the client’s needs.
- Improve language skills: Continuously work to improve your language skills through training, certification programs, and other educational opportunities. This can help ensure that you provide high-quality work to your clients.
Confidentiality
- You should consider signing a confidentiality agreement before starting work with your client/freelancer. This document outlines the terms of the confidentiality agreement, including what information is considered confidential and the consequences of any breach of confidentiality.
- You should use secure communication channels, such as the built-in chat or video call feature on the platform, to discuss any confidential information. You should avoid using unsecured communication channels, such as email or social media, which can be easily intercepted by third parties.
- You should encrypt any sensitive files you share with your client/freelancer on the platform. This adds an extra layer of security to the files and ensures that only authorized parties can access them.
- You should limit access to confidential information to only those who need to know. You should also use strong and unique passwords for your accounts to prevent unauthorized access.
- You should delete any confidential files after the project is complete. You should also securely erase any files that are no longer needed to ensure that they cannot be recovered by unauthorized parties.
