    Why tolingo

    Focus on translations

    tolingo takes care of all those time-consuming tasks, such as preparing quotes, invoicing, acquiring and retaining customers, so that you can focus on what you do best.

    All online

    A computer running MS Windows and an internet connection are all you need to log-in to our virtual workplace where you can review and accept assignments in a personal dashboard. Your dashboard also lets you access project history, invoices and personal information. Translate the source document with the aid of memoQ or another CAT tool that reads .xlif files.

    Reliable payment

    Automated billing and payment: receive your money punctually each month without writing an invoice.*

    *Payment: We work with a very large network of translators based all over the world and employ a payment policy that is secure and transparent for every translator. Wires are sent on the 15th of each month following project completion. There are three ways to receive your payment:

    Payment method Fees incurred by the payment processor
    PayPal 0.5 % of the transfer amount, max. €3
    Moneybookers 0.5 % of the transfer amount, max. €3
    Banküberweisung 0.5 % of the transfer amount, max. €3
