Bring your language expertise to global projects.
LIG welcomes applications from freelance translators, reviewers, post-editors and localisation specialists across language pairs. Whether you work on specialist documents, digital products, games or multimedia, tell us about your languages and project experience.
We contact suitable language professionals according to project needs, subject expertise and availability, agreeing scope, delivery requirements and collaboration terms for each project.

Professional skills we look for
Strong writing in your target language and familiarity with terminology and expression in your specialist areas; the ability to understand the source, check facts and figures, and flag ambiguities clearly.
Relevant project experience you can describe, the ability to follow terminology, style and quality requirements, and reliable delivery as agreed. Tell us which translation tools, file types and localisation processes you know.
Respect for confidentiality and data-handling requirements. Before using AI, machine translation or other external tools, follow the terms of each project and do not submit client materials without permission.
