Under a deadline, the phone is on silent. By necessity.
Translating means three uninterrupted hours or nothing: every call cuts the thread of the sentence and costs ten minutes to get back. So your phone lives on silent — while clients ask three translators at once. The quote goes to whoever answers first, not the best.

FAQ
Translators: your questions
My clients mostly email. Are calls that important?
Urgencies call: the lawyer at 6 pm on Friday, the agency whose vendor just dropped out. Those are often the best-paid projects — and the most volatile. A <10 s text locks in your availability while you finish your segment.
How does the AI handle urgent Friday-evening quote requests?
It identifies the urgency level (mentioned deadline, cutoff time, weekend) and escalates it to you immediately by text with the recap. You decide in one word: accept, decline, push to Monday. On Friday evening, that filter is worth an evening of work.
Document confidentiality is critical in my work.
The first-contact text mentions neither the nature nor the content of the document — just confirmation of the request and next steps. Files only travel through your usual channels; Signal doesn't host them. Your NDAs stay your business; your responsiveness becomes automatic.
I work with agencies that ask 3 translators in parallel.
Exactly: in that model, whoever confirms availability first gets the purchase order. The automatic text puts you back on top while you're deep in your CAT tool. For regular batches, AI recognizes repeat numbers and prioritizes accordingly.
What about rare languages or niche specialties?
AI asks the questions you define (pair, field, volume) and passes you the raw answers. If the pair is outside your languages, it can politely decline per your rules. No promises are ever made on your behalf.
