TransPerfect Reviews 

I really don't know if payment will be deposited..

I did translation for like 4 days, and one of their staff (Emi J) told me to chat James Dietrich - their payment manager.

I gave him (James) my bank account and I dont really know if Im going to be paid......Good luck to me..

Working for them in project.... I finished my work on timeline...
Once I asked for my payment they informed me that .. first of all I have to pay 55$ for account link process and also they informed it will be refunded after the bank account link... Guys please do not trust them... I trust them without any Questions and I did the work for them but not yet paid from them. They are big scammer please be aware don't trust them and don't send the money to them

and if I am the same as in the previous review
Marta Geller Forro contacts me again saying that they are going to pay me through PayPal but she sends me a contract that I have to sign in order to get my money in which I am going to pay a 200usd insurance anyway, they don't understand that I don't have or no one is going to have or want to give that amount of money for what? So that they pay them
If I want my money for a job done and that they themselves approved as successful, I must pay and even if they say that they will give me back the insurance money, who in their right mind is going to pay to work
So that they give you something that they tell you is already yours and they wash their hands saying then you give up your payment
Not wanting to pay Not wanting to pay until I pay insurance so they can pay me is such a huge idiocy that I don't know how they can maintain themselves as a company. I think they do that to their own employees.
They have 0 professionalism.
PS: There was an advisor who tried to help me and was kind to me but the only options he gave me were to pay the insurance so they would pay me. I know that's the only thing I could do and it was in his hands. I hope he gets out of that horrible place and finds a better job where they don't do evil to people.
PS2: And even if they tell me to give up my "payment" and I made them a free transcription, I hope that the idiot who keeps my money does better than me because he must be in greater need than me.

They supposedly paid me, they made me register on a strange bank page where the customer service is terrible.
When I wanted to transfer my money to my bank account, they asked me for a vat code. When I did that job, no one mentioned that I needed one. The customer service person on the page told me that I had to pay 200 USD (5000 MXN) in my local currency.
Which I don't have and I don't plan to pay more than what the job was going to give me. when I told the situation to a certain nikishima and if they could make my payment through paypal she told me that it was not possible that I should listen to customer service and pay the fee for the vat and blocked me
and a certain martha galler ferro who is supposed to be my manager told her the situation and she only told me that I should not be afraid that this is the process and I should pay I am not afraid what I have is lack of money that is why I am doing a job so that I get paid not for me to pay even if they say they are going to return them to me if I am only a freelancer dying of hunger from a third world country what the hell do I have the need to want to have a vat code just transfer my money to paypal and let's leave the games,
ps: I told a friend who is a freelancer he has a vat code I entered it on the page and even then it didn't work

This isthevbiggest scam ever you type and complete work and are asked to pay I.D. fees and 119 and then transfer fees to your bank account 250 and then more transfer fees of 180 ...then henry davidson says I will help you and says you only have to pay 30 to get your money when you have paid that they say the fees are late you need to pay another 65 biggest scam ever

Sono stata contattata per un progetto di traduzione di 50 pagine in 4 giorni, per 2000 sterline, tramite linkedin dove mi è stato dato un contattato Whatsapp da un numero con prefisso Regno Unito + 44...
Ho avuto la sensazione che non fossero proprio trasparenti. Per il pagamento volevano che mi registrassi su un sito westford glabal union, questo sito ha ulteriormente altri errori: link ai social che non vanno, nella sezione about us hanno 8 foto di diverse persone ma tutte con lo stesso nome, la localizazzione in tre continenti ha sempre lo stesso indirizzo nei Stati Uniti, la chat assistenza non risponde e il link whatsapp non funziona. Dopo aver letto altre recensione come truffa e scam, ho deciso di non registrarmi al sito del pagamento (dove mi chiedevano anche fronte e retro di un mio documento), ho poi bloccato e segnalato il contatto whatsapp.

I was giving a project to create logos about 10 of it and when it was time to pay, I went through all the process and at the end I was asked to pay $150 for gas fee.
What a scam

My name is Enama Alice and I live in Germany I did a translation job for you within the PROJECTFILE300VY Federal Grants, I have to deliver it within 5 days requirement that I respected, but for the payment a so called Mr Tondera told via telegram made first paid 100 for insurance fees what I did via paypal after numerous different tag, not a normal way according to me, but now he keep telling me to add exchange rate of 150 usd to receive my full payment and I don't really understand why I have to deal with exchange rate. I am writing to you to verify if I am dealing with impersonators. Is all it a scheme scam?

I was approached by someone impersonating TransPerfect, offering a voiceover project. The communication seemed legitimate at first, but it eventually led to a request for an upfront payment of $300 through suspicious channels (Telegram and a fake bank). After verifying with an actual TransPerfect representative, it was confirmed to be a scam.

While I appreciate TransPerfect acknowledging the fraud and flagging it internally, I was disappointed by the lack of further action. No public statement has been made about these scams, leaving others vulnerable, and I received no assistance in recovering the funds I lost.

As a victim of this scam, I believe TransPerfect should take stronger steps to safeguard its name and protect freelancers, such as issuing public warnings or offering more concrete support in similar situations.

One of the worst companies I have worked with. The translation quality is poor. In many cases it's a simple copy from Google Translate without any thought given to context.
To make matters worse, they are relatively expensive, slow... and simply bad at what they do.

They are asking me to pay again so that I can receive my payment for my project, P6,000 is the payment they are requiring me to pay. This was not discussed before and now I am unable to withdraw.

If you wanna work for this company, good luck, very messy and alot of demands for pennies literally you get the same pay as McDonald's! They had so many issues with their system that my brand new computer crashed, they ask to share your screen with all your personal information with groups of people. I've worked as translator for over 7 years in several companies and I've never been talk to like a stupid child. The atmosphere isn't pleasant the training 70% has nothing to do with actual job. You can read my reviews 98% positive. So for me to write a negative review takes a lot! Hopefully they pay cause I can see people haven't got paid aswell.

Faccio un copia incolla da Patrizia visto che ho ricevuto lo stesso trattamento, truffatori da evitare assolutamente!

Hi Anastasia,
Any translation agency or company
request a (short) free test for a specific client (not a 4 hours test) and then who pass the test starts the requested translation project.
You send me the result after three months and one month ago and here on trustpilot everybody tells the same story: free test, no job.
Maybe you use the test to deliver translations to your client, I don’t know but this is not correct, not professional and not serious!

Like so many others I have not been paid and having to constantly chase it up is getting ridiculous. There's no excuse. I don't know what this company's game is but paying people in a timely manner for completed work is pretty basic stuff.

Hello! I had a translation experience where they would pay me £2,100 for my work but they told me that I had to pay insurance of £100 to be able to receive my money and that they would then refund it to my payment. But at first no one informed me about this payment, I killed myself writing a book day and night and now they tell me that? When I finished the work they made me send it to an email and they wrote me the following:

“With absolute concern we want to drag your attention on a little hiccup that is necessary and very important to the two parties,
Has an employee who has worked effortlessly on the project assigned to you, you are expected to sign and pay a refundable insurance fee of £100, which will be credited back to you with your initial salary, making it £2,100.

It is very important to insure our alliance together and seal all term and conditions with a signed document. Meanwhile, a new project has been awarded to you with a reasonable and bigger salary, after this whole process is completed, kindly contact your project director for the new project details.

We hope you don’t see this as an endeavor but a reassurance of our extended collaboration together.

Meanwhile kindly submit any valid ID, to the payment manager for verification and sign the insurance form to insure our alliance and collaboration together for legal measures.“
and everything had to be done by telegram…
Very unfortunate.
I would love to be able to receive my money for the time and work it took me to do it.

I wanted to reach out about something that’s been bothering me. I’ve noticed that some people were allowed to retake the test after failing, but I wasn’t given the same chance. It feels a bit unfair, and I can’t help but wonder why some get the opportunity while others don’t.

I just want to understand how those decisions are made because, from my side, it doesn’t seem very consistent. I’d really appreciate some clarity on this.

I did a translation work with Transperfect, delivered the work and to my surprise they even informed me that my work was published and it was the best but I have not been paid even a penny, I have evidenced of chats work delivery email. $3500 project , i am in deep stress and I need my pay.They asked me to pay $45 for 'private account' opening which to me was not part of the agreement besides providing all necessary details and verifications. Phil Shawe was my project manager ,who i was directed to through my PeopleperHour account , we had chats on telegram through is telegram link @transperfect_library01, and agreed on terms.
Currently I am still pleading with them to pay me and still insists on paying the money

Company does not even look at job applications, sent one over Linkedin (which alerts you when the application is viewed) and a month later the requested CV Cover Letter and Portfolio haven't been touched.

They asked me to make 6 logos for $2000. After I finished and handed them the projects, I asked them for my financial dues. He told me that I must pay the transfer fee of $150 and he wants to pay the money via Bitcoin or digital commissions. He had taken $200 from me before for the fees, according to what they said, but this was not enough for them. They want to defraud and swindle more than $200. They want to take more under the pretext of transfer fees from one country to another.

I was contacted through telegram that i need to convert a pdf file to microsoft word. Its not an easy tasked because its 50 image that has more than 500 words per page. Its an urgent task needs to be finish 1 day, so i did it overnight. I was able to submit and send the project through email. However right after I received an email that my payment of $850 was on hold until i pay the Non resident tax fee: $20.00, before i cant received the said amount. Below is the email that i received.
