Why You Should Rate Your Freelancers’ Quality on EasyTranslate

As a customer of translation and copy editing services, you know that the quality of work you receive can vary. However, it's crucial to have confidence in the translator or copy editor you selected for your projects. Especially when there are hundreds of freelancers to choose from. That's where EasyTranslate's quality rating feature comes into play, offering an invaluable tool for both customers and freelancers.

The quality rating feature is more than just a simple feedback mechanism; it serves as a bridge between customers and language professionals, ensuring transparency and excellence in every project. Here’s how it works and why you should be using this feature regularly.

How does the quality rating feature work?

After receiving a completed translation or edited content on EasyTranslate, look for the star icon associated with your project.

By clicking on the star icon, you’re prompted with the question “Do you recommend working with this freelancer?” This is your opportunity to rate their performance from 1-5 stars based on your satisfaction level.

But why stop at the stars? The EasyTranslate platform also allows you to provide more detailed comments about your experience. Whether it’s praise for exceptional work or constructive criticism aimed at improvement, your insights are valuable.

Once submitted, freelancers receive an email notification about the rating and comment they’ve received. This opens up a channel for direct communication, allowing them to reach out if necessary.
