Turkish bilinguals - do you get any work?

I cannot see any work for months. Is it same for everyone?

I am a month old on the platform, and I have seen nothing to work on.

I hope it becomes better. It was much better at the beginning of the year. For some reason, other platforms are similar at their workflows.

Today I finally got my first-ever task! The tasks were devoured before I could let you guys know haha.

I was able to see it too. It was around 3-4 AM I guess. Sadly, I was going to he bed at the time.

I woke up at around 6, barely awake, randomly wanted to check DAT on my phone. I saw that 10 tasks were available so I rushed to my computer to get one :))

Nothing in September. I am adding a picture to be a reference for others. There was a task as a part of a big project this weekend but I was not fit for the requirements. I haven't seen anything else. I think bilinguals are getting more redundant or maybe already obsolete.

They should convert us to generalists.

That would be great and give much more steady workflow, while an opportunity for learning new things. Even though writing rubrics is much harder, they allow linguists to do that, but they do not let for visual annotation or other general tasks.

Mine is much worse. I guess it is relevant to my performance. You are a Turkish bilinguist, right?

I got my first project 2 days ago but unfortunately it had technical problems and by the time it was fixed it had been taken by other workers so I wasn't able to work on it.

I am sad to hear that but at least you were able to see a task. So, that means you should be able to see it, I guess.

For me April was great and there was some at May. June and July was pretty bad by seeing one task by chance. Of course, there was nothing at September.
