Contact us at rh@aftraduction. fr: we will help you register. Do I need to be sworn? No. Our network brings together more than 800 linguists, including more than 150 sworn translators and interpreters. If you are sworn before a French court of appeal, name the court in the form: sworn translation covers 75 languages with us. Both profiles interest us. How does the application work?

We then create your partner profile and you receive your first requests. Which documents, and when? When you apply: your CV, or your LinkedIn profile, and your language combinations. Your supporting documents (registration, listing with a court of appeal, relevant diplomas) are requested afterwards, before the first assignments. Above €5,000 excluding VAT of services, French law requires us to ask for your URSSAF certificate of compliance( attestation de vigilance), renewed every six months.

No. Write to us at rh@aftraduction.fr to update your languages, your availability or your status: your partner profile is updated in our management system. ### Assignments and languages Which languages are you looking for? First of all: Tibetan, Tamil, Oromo, Tigrinya, Amharic, Chechen, Lingala, Turkish, Spanish… and the rare languages of Africa, Asia and the Caucasus listed on this page. Our network covers nearly 200 languages and dialects across all services, and 75 languages in sworn translation. Every language interests us: if yours is not in the form’s list, type it under “A language missing from the list”. What assignments do you offer? Interpreting by phone (service open 24/7, connection in about 5 minutes on average), by video call (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex), on site in Île-de-France( one-hour minimum, travel included) and at conferences; sworn, agency-certified and specialised translation in twelve fields; transcription, subtitling, voice-over, post-editing. [Our interpreting services](https://aftraduction.fr/en/professional-interpretation-services/) Do I need to live in Île-de-France? For on-site interpreting, we work in Paris and the seven départements of the region: that is where we need you. For phone, video call and translation, you work remotely. [On-site interpreting](https://aftraduction.fr/en/on-site-interpretation-services/) How are assignments allocated? According to your languages, your fields, your availability and the modes you work in. For a phone call, the service contacts the available interpreters for the requested language; for a translation, the team chooses a native translator who specialises in the field. [Telephone interpreting](https://aftraduction.fr/en/telephone-interpretation-services/) ### Terms and payment How and when am I paid? Your work is paid on time, on the date agreed with you during the conversation that follows your application, before any assignment. Between businesses, French law sets the payment period at 30 days by default and 60 days at most from the invoice date; any delay gives rise to late-payment penalties and a fixed recovery fee. Do you offer training? Yes. We offer our partners interpreter training, in particular in medical interpreting and telephone interpreting. The details are explained during the conversation that follows your application. Will I have an online workspace? Yes. An online partner workspace to follow and streamline our work together: your assignments, purchase orders and documents, all in one place. Your access details are given to you when you join the network. What will I sign? A non-disclosure agreement: all our translators sign one, and our interpreters and transcribers are bound by the same commitment. You remain self-employed and organise your work freely. ### Your data What happens to my data and my CV? Your application is stored on our website and in our ERP, both hosted in France, in line with the GDPR, with encrypted connections; only the agency’s team has access. It is used to review your application and, if it is accepted, to create your partner profile. You can have it deleted at any time, on simple request: with the link in your acknowledgement, or by writing to rh@aftraduction.fr. [Privacy policy](https://aftraduction.fr/en/privacy-policy/)
