TransPerfect Reviews 

ES UN ROBO, QUE HAGA UN PROYECTO BASTANTE LARGO Y DE LA REVOLUCION ESPAÑOLA, PARA DECIR QUE DEBO COMPRAR UNA TARJETA DE PRESENTACION EN 150 DOLARES PARA QUE SE TERMINE DE HACER LA TRANSACCION DE PAGO DICEN, NUNCA LAS EXTENCIONES DE EMAIL SON DE UNA EMPRESA NI LOS FORMULARIOS, TENGAN CUIDADO ES UNA ESTAFA,
QUE NO SEAN ESCEPTICO DICEN, PUEDE SER, PERO NO TONTO

The reviews speak for themselves. I have had the misfortune of working for them and I can say that they are the worst translation agency I have ever worked with in my life. Poor quality, irresponsible project managers, they don't meet conditions or deadlines and never pay on time or decide not to pay. They are a disaster and exploit their collaborators. No one wants to work with them because they are more like a criminal organization than a legitimate translation agency.

Una azienda che fornisce indicazioni e promesse contraddittorie dopo aver superato un test in attesa di lavorare mi hanno promesso lavoro per 30 giorni e lavoro subito, così non è stato altro test pratico dapprima da loro era stato detto pagato, poi con una scusa hanno approvato parzialmente il mio lavoro di test e il resto l'ho dovuto correggere e alla fine con una scusa non hanno pagato nulla perché il test non era andato male? E la paga niente?

Son ladrones , no pagan por horas extra (especialmente en latinoamerica) y luego de trabajar y ajustar las cosas, botan a las personas, 2 años arruinados de mi vida por transperfect, y algunas personas hasta el sol de hoy no Lee han dado su prestaciones legales o "severance" en ingles , son doble caras, no recomiendo trabajar ahí o trabajaría de nuevo. Sin industrias como estas el mundo está mejor.

TransPerfect’s interpreting assessments rely on a rigid scoring cutoff (76%) that doesn’t match the reality of live interpreting. Even their own interviewers acknowledge that in practice, getting the message across matters more than recalling an exact term. Unfortunately, the company’s system prioritizes checkbox conformity instead of communication.

TransPerfect is a large name in translation, but their interpreting side feels underdeveloped. The process comes across as bureaucratic rather than professional: rigid testing, constant hiring, and an emphasis on rules over clarity.

I also noticed their 1.6 TrustPilot rating. At first that surprised me, but my experience of the process aligns with that score — it suggests systemic misalignment between their procedures and what interpreting actually requires.

💡 Coach’s Comment: If a company is always hiring but seasoned interpreters keep slipping through, that’s a system problem, not a talent problem. Interpreting is about clarity, nuance, and human connection — not just ticking glossary boxes. Interpreters: don’t let a percentage shake your worth. Companies: if strong candidates keep slipping through, it may be time to rethink the rubric.

I was hired to write a user guide for a Roche acute diagnostic medical device. Editors loved my work and it was accepted after quality review July 10, 2025. I submitted my purchase order to their "rapid" invoice processing system, RIPS and have been waiting ever since for notification that my paycheck was mailed out. I am waiting on $1,995 for my work. I need it now to pay back a high interest loan I had to take out to pay my bills. It is a horrible sinking feeling to do quality work and not get paid. I am praying that someone who can help me responds here. My name is Sarah McLeod.

Just finished a task where they are wanting to pay 1500 once done I entered my bank info and got a vat code i than contacted the bank they work with and was told I need to pay 200 usd to withdraw my funds: and the person I spoke to thought I caught a attitude once I said y wasn’t I informed I needed to pay at the beginning

Son estafadores que usan el nombre de empresas legítimas. La revisión de Transperfect es 100% buena y es lo que aprovechan los estafadores. Trabajé en una transcripción de 20 páginas para ganar $1500. La cuenta de WA a la que me dirigieron era personal con un número de Suráfrica. Ahí les seguí el juego. Perdí el tiempo que fue bastante.

They treat translators as garbage, so it's no wonder that the output quality is as low as hell. How could you expect to receive a good translation if you do everything to demotivate the performers? Their PMs are rude and barely read the emails when you signal a problem or anything. They simply ignore you. Also, their tasks or "submissions" become unavailable in milliseconds after you receive them. They say that you "just need to be fast" but, men, what kind of professional translator would accept the job offer without even familiarizing themselves with what they are about to work on??? Also, there's a suspicion that some of their "professional translators" are using some kind of autoclickers, because it's simply impossible that tasks disappear from the platform in less than a second.
Considering all this mess, it's no wonder that they deliver trash instead of legit translations.

I've been providing translation and MTPE services to TransPerfect since 2011. Like any other translation agency, they have their issues, but they always pay what it being agreed to. The reviewers who say that they were asked to send a payment to TransPerfect were obviously defrauded by individuals who falsely identified themselves as TransPerfect's recruiters or employees. TransPerfect uses their HUB and special web portals for accessing the jobs and submitting invoices. When a project manager from TransPerfect contacts you, they always have "transperfect.com" after their name and @ in the email address. Also, they will always send a Purchase Order with all the details about the job, rates, their address, PO number, due dates and link for submitting your invoices. They're not fraudulent. Due to the urgency of some translation projects, it can happen that a project manager hires you and hours later, informs you that the job has been assigned to another vendor. Occasionally, they may experience minor delays and payment processing issues; however, they will never request an upfront payment from their vendors or fail to send the payment to their vendors. They utilize PayPal and checks that can be redeemed at any conventional bank. They're not perfect, and there's no such thing as a "perfect" translation agency, but they are reliable and honest. A vendor can also negotiate a better price or reject a job if the offered fee is not acceptable. TransPerfect doesn't "punish" such vendors and continues to hire them or offer them other jobs on a regular basis.

❌ Fraudulent Experience – Not Recommended
I completed a project with professionalism and dedication. When it came time to receive payment, I was told I had to deposit $50 as a “requirement” to unlock the funds. This condition was never mentioned beforehand. After completing the work, I received no payment, and it became clear this was a scam.
⚠️ Don't fall for these kinds of schemes. If you're asked to pay to get paid, it's a red flag.
I'm sharing this so others don’t go through the same experience.

Sono stata contrattata, tramite Whatsapp, da una signora che diceva lavorare da TransPerfect per un lavoro di traduzione. Ho dovuto tradurre le prime 40 pagine di un libro di Mike Dikson “The Invisible Drone” in un periodo di 4 giorni, incluso domenica.
Finito il lavoro, ho mandato il documento e, dopo aver controllato se era fatto bene, mi ha detto di iscrivermi ad una banca, CaxaUnion. Ho messo i miei dati e mi hanno mandato i soldi, £4.000, però quando ho provato a trasferirli per un altro account bancario, mi chiedeva una password di autenticazione. Ho parlato con il chat automatico e mi ha detto che dovevo pagare €100 per avere questa password.
Nel sito della banca, non c’è neanche la possibilità di escludere il conto. È ovviamente una truffa, state attenti, per favore

I did my project on TRANSPERFECT and now for my salary they keep referring me to different people and telling me to deposit a certain amount to get my salary

Not a good company I will not refer a person to work with,very bad experience I came across

DataForce by TransPerfect is a very disorganized company. They had wanted us to do onboarding, training, and production all within the first week. Also, they didn't really take into account any technical difficulties one may have had in attempting to access for example, LMS Training. Emails sent to HR, IT, or LMS Support would lead to Microsoft Outlook either rejecting the delivery of the email or a TransPerfect employee will send an email stating that one is not allowed access to make LMS requests or General Inbox requests. They expected us to annotate fourteen audio recordings in an hour after being trained for one week. In order to do that, one would have to do 4 annotations in a minute, which is impossible. Note, I had difficulty accessing LMS Training. The Cardamom project only last for about 2 months. When I received the termination email, I was told simultaneously that I did not meet their unrealistic and unreasonable productivity goals and that at the same time, the decision to terminate my employment had nothing to do with my skills and qualifications as a employee. It is also telling that I was terminated a day before I had scheduled to take a day off. Do not work for DataForce and do not work for TransPerfect. They have no integrity.

The job itself is quite simple.
However don't expect them to pay you. They've left me waiting for 4 weeks for a final pay that they refuse to deposit even with the employment standards branch on it, claiming lie after lie with how suddenly your bank that they've been paying you through previously, "won't accept the deposit" and then they "stop trying."
So just a nice way of them saying "GFY" after writing out an entire contract that you and they all sign stating their pay to you when you start, they full out refuse to pay.
DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO APPLY I BEG YOU!!! THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF

Not recommended to work with. The left doesn't know what the right is doing, they are unstructured and their support is extremely slow, wasting your time. Then you get thrown out of a project as a result. Very amateurish company and what also has a poorly paid but great wish list.

I was in deep stress because of them.They are fishing freelancers, l was manipulated to translate many pages.When the time of payment comes,they push you in a way to register in a bad bank environment ,so as to bye a special code to get your money.Evil persons behind.It is really the company.

Very big scam that happened to me few days back I was told that if you complete the project of the type, then you will get the payment when I completed the project, I asked for free that $ 50 When I did not send $ 50, they did not even send me my payment .This is a very big scam and is very common nowadays, so all of you be careful about it.

After two interviews and a lengthy writing assessment, I reached out for an update on the position, but the HR representative was unable to provide any information. Despite my polite follow-ups, two months passed without a response. It’s disappointing when a company that prides itself on dedication to its clients does not extend the same professionalism and respect to candidates’ time. A simple update—whether positive or negative—would have been appreciated.

Sono stata contattata a fine gennaio 2025tramite whatsapp e poi su Telegram da questa azienda Transperfect tramite un sito dove c’era un annuncio per ripetizioni ( le tue lezioni) per tradurre 40 pagine di un libro Mark Dixon; The Invisible Drone. Dopo mille assicurazioni da parte dell’Head Management che al momento della retribuzione pur registrandomi con la mia mail con account sul loro portale pagamento, che non mi sarebbe stata chiesta nessuna quota per il trasferimento del denaro, mi è stato chiesto 95 € per un pin identificativo per fare la transazione dei 2450 € sul mio conto bancario. Ovviamente ho chiuso la comunicazione e non sono stata retribuita. Se non verró retribuita, ovviamente si tratta di grossa truffa e scammers.
