Frequently Asked Questions
Do you hire freelance translators?
Yes. Our network is built on long-term freelance relationships. You work remotely, take the projects that fit your schedule, and grow with us over time.
Which language pairs do you need most?
Arabic paired with English and our other supported languages is in constant demand, but we welcome strong linguists in any pair — tell us yours.
Do I need a specialization to apply?
Specialized linguists are strongly preferred. Depth in one field — legal, medical, technical, financial, marketing, or gaming — is exactly what our clients pay for.
Will I be post-editing machine translation?
No. Locstars delivers human-only translation, so assignments are genuine translation, editing, or proofreading work.
