Translator — put your second language to work, on your schedule
This role works for you if you've turned 18, write English somewhere near B2+, handle a second language with real ease, and can set aside 3 hours daily. Your job is making the meaning cross over so cleanly that both sides feel like they're talking directly — monthly pay tops out at $860–2,700 depending on grade, the free training takes 3-5 days, and money first lands in your account 11 days later.

Where
Anywhere with wifi — your kitchen table counts
What a shift actually looks like
- Rewrite whatever just came in so the other person reads it naturally in their own tongue, before the moment passes
- Keep the humor and the warmth intact — not a mechanical, literal swap of words
- Answer as the profile handed to you for that shift, not under your own name
- Juggle messages flowing in both directions without leaving either side hanging
- Loop your team lead in the moment something reads strangely
What it takes to get started
- At least 18
- English at B2+ or stronger, plus a language you switch into without stopping to think
- A phone, tablet, or laptop you already own
- Home internet steady enough for back-and-forth typing
- Comfort hopping between two languages mid-thought without losing your place
What other parents ask us
Is this genuinely a paid, remote position?
immychat has hired parents since 2023. 65+ of us are spread across 22+ countries, all following one identical weekly pay calendar, with deposits going out every Saturday.
Is a formal translation degree or certificate required?
We don't ask for one. Training lasts 3-5 days and never costs you a cent, and how you actually handle a live conversation in both languages tells us far more than a certificate ever could.
How soon do I actually see money in my account?
Expect your first payment 11 days out from your opening shift, then reliably every Saturday afterward, minimum $15, via Cash App, prepaid card, bank transfer.
Which language pairs are you looking for?
Tell us your language combination when you apply — any pairing works as long as both languages come naturally to you and your English sits at B2+ or above.
