Do you need a freelance translator service to work directly with software manufacturers?

Question

Android

Please tell me a platform for a freelance translator. I tried several services earlier, registered, but after the free trial period expired and my profile was published, no one contacted me, so I didn’t “transfer” my account to a paid basis and the profile was simply “frozen”. I want a trusted site. Because these "workers" (the first five from a Google query) did not justify themselves.
It turned out that I filmed a review of one application on YouTube - after some time, the developers wrote, saying: "Make a translation into Russian, etc., we will pay." Everything suited me. Especially working directly with the software manufacturer and the opportunity to be the first to test your translation, after the developers sent the apk with the translation.
I just would like to find a similar job directly, or even with intermediaries as all kinds of "freelance services", but "live", so that there are active users. Because according to past experience, there weren’t even transitions on my profiles.

Answer 1

Well, IMHO continue to do reviews and offer a translation.
On all freelance exchanges you will work for food, but here you are a free ploughman with a well-known quality and interested clients in you.
+ do not rate per piece of words, etc. speak immediately for the entire scope of work, so you raise your status in the eyes of the customer.
+ The functionality of applications is changing, texts are also changing, here you can agree on constant support for product localization. Let's say for $100 per month (regardless of the availability of work) you verify the changes and update the translation. And you have less work, more money, and they have a permanent update service and the trouble with finding a translator falls off.
PS All of the above is my IMHO. I am not a translator, and I have never moonlighted with this (and with texts too).

Answer 2

You can try to make a landing portfolio and promote it by all possible means.

Answer 3

learn tools, write to developers
, the only problem is that it is not often needed in Russian, especially for startups

Answer 4

There is a lot of translation on upwork, but I'm not sure about Russian
