Translator Status
All translators on Conyac have a registered status level for each language pair. The following figure summarizes our status system. Keep reading below for further details.
Level Tests
- By taking a Level Test, your status may go up or down, and your access to certain features may change.
- If there is a Level Test for your language pair, reviews will impact your rating, but not your status.
- If there is no Level Test for your language pair, reviews will impact both your status and your rating.
- In addition to Level Test results, the Conyac Quality Team may change the status of a translator after reviewing their translation results. In this case, the translator will be informed by email of their change in status along with the reason why.
