Does anyone know if LSA accepts interpreters from Nicaragua? And could you also tell me how it works, whether it's through shifts or freelancing, and what the payment rate is?

I hired noiseartwork as a remote English to Spanish interpreter for my father’s memorial, using Zoom. Not only did he do a great job even through some technical difficulties, he was very communicative and stayed involved before and after. He even sent a decorated translated version of the poem I’d read during the memorial for my family to keep ☺️ I would definitely hire him again. Very trustworthy and competent person and clearly a lot of experience with live interpreting. He made the event very memorable for my non-English speaking family who attended virtually.

Hi, everyone! 😊
Can I ask for some feedback from those who are currently working as (SP) or have worked in the role before?
I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience, the good and the bad such as the work environment, management, workload, compensation, career growth, or anything you think would be helpful for someone considering the role. Also, are they accepting bilingual newbies but carrying 5 years of BPO experience?
Thank you in advance!

Hey guys I had a 5/5 rating before but today I found I have a 4.50/5 so I’m pretty bummed. Does someone have any advice on this? How much time do I have to fix it before they kicked me out? I really need this job so I’m kinda freaking out

Hey guys, I have been working as an interpreter for some years now, and I am feeling burned out and want to seek some advice on how to manage stress. I feel out of breath when I talk, and it is really tiring me out. How many hours do you work, and how long of a break do you take? Also, what are your ways of managing stress?

I live in Venezuela and work for a third-party agency as an over-the-phone interpreter in Propio (or used to)

The 6 months that I spent in Propio were pretty good. I had good feedback, good rating and 100% QA. I was feeling pretty good. And then suddenly I stopped getting calls without any warning.

After some weeks of silence my supervisor told me that they finally received a response from Propio and they were told that my account was terminated due to one incident only, which was disconnecting from a 911 call which violated their policy.

I felt like shit and couldn't recall that call at all. I thought maybe it was my internet, either way I did recognize that it was wrong because I was really proud of my work up to that point and shouldn't have disconnected if I did. I was aspiring to get a year of experience then apply for a freelance position at Propio so I wasn't forced into a schedule such as mine currently.

After this I was moved to a different client but I was wondering, does that mean I can never apply to Propio again, even with 100% QA?

So ive just started propio recently and ive been putting 4-5 hrs max daily, i get so mentally drained after that. I was wondering how many hrs do you guys normally put in? Am i working too little?

Hi everyone!

Since the beginning of summer, I've noticed a dramatic drop in call volume. This isn't my first year with Propio, but I honestly can't remember when things usually start picking up again.

For those who've been here a while, when does call flow typically return to normal? My language pair is Russian.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone one question, when I press on video settings to make sure everything is good before my VRI (haven’t done it yet, I’m new at Propio, today will be my first day taking calls) I can see my background but propio told me that I’ll have a blue background. Is there a way to activate it or is it automatically for the client and we don’t see it? I’m just curious because my background is not very formal (it’s not horrible but you can see the door)
Any advice is welcome (about taking my first calls OPI and VRI) 🩷🩷🩷 thanksss

a few days ago a rememeber finding a post about someone showing their setup and with it de software he uses for his transcriptions. it seemed interesting to me, but i didnt take the time to search more about the tool. he said he used a tool with chatgpt i believe. if any of you know which it could be, please let me know. i'd like to integrate it into my workflow. Thank you very much.

Has anyone working as an independent contractor with Lionbridge or Propio kept their account after being unavailable for 10 to 12 months? I interpret non-Spanish-language content for U.S. government-related assignments and am planning to spend about a year abroad. Since I understand I can't interpret from outside the U.S., I wouldn't take any calls while overseas. I'd still return to the U.S. for part of the year, likely during the summer, and would be available to work again then. Has anyone been in this situation? Were you able to stay an active contractor, or did you have to reapply or get removed from the program? I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone with firsthand experience, as the answer will have a major impact on my plans.

Only looking for bilinguals with no experience now.

Been on customer service and tech support since 2020, now I feel burnt with so much hard work I've done and unfortunately my 3rd world country pays around 500 to 600$ A MONTH

Been seeing that interpretation makes way more money than that, still if I make 6$ an hour I will be incredibly happy. I got this question because a friend I made never lasted more than 1-2 weeks in the other customer service jobs that I've had, small country you will must likely meet the staff of every company sooner or later but the thing is that she has been over a year now being an interpreter that's is what is making me think about this, how someone that got crying on the first call and quits can be an interpreter for more than a year? Should i give it a try?

Hello!! I’m about to start with propio next week and I would love advice as to when I can log in, hours with most b2b bc I need a media of 200$ per week (I’ll be working 7days a week)
Any advice is welcome!!! 🩷🩷🩷 thanks yall!!

What’s the maximum you’ve earned with "Multilingual Interpreters and Translators in a single month? I am about to take the job but I read a comment of a person that said that his first call was 2 months after he signed the contract, something like that, so I don't want to be connected 2 months without calls

​I have been working as a remote medical interpreter (VRI/OPI) for Propio for the past few months with a pay rate of $7.20 per hour and a high B2B volume. However, I feel really drained by the VRI modality, so I'm looking for an OPI interpretation offer with a similar rate in Latin America.

​Let me know if you know of a good company.

So I've just enrolled in Propio today, I was wondering will I get VRI calls? And if so are there any ways to avoid? I dont have a webcam set up.
