Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need professional translation experience? +
Not necessarily. We value native fluency, attention to detail, and a willingness to follow our editorial guidelines. Professional translators are welcome, but many of our top contributors are passionate linguists, academics, and polyglots who started exactly where you are.
Is there a minimum time commitment? +
No. You can translate as little or as much as you like, at any time that works for you. Articles can be submitted in sections, and your progress is saved automatically. We celebrate consistency over volume.
How is quality ensured? +
Every translation passes through a three-layer review: AI consistency checks, peer review by a native-speaking editor, and periodic audits by subject-matter experts. You'll receive constructive feedback and can revise before publication.
Can I translate specialized topics (medical, legal, technical)? +
Yes! Specialized articles are routed to contributors with relevant backgrounds or certifications. You'll be matched with topics aligned with your expertise, and our glossary system provides standardized terminology for accuracy.
Is this completely free? Are there hidden costs? +
Absolutely free. Aevum Encyclopedia is a non-profit knowledge initiative. We never charge translators for tools, training, or verification. Your contribution is valued, recognized, and fully supported.
