Frequently Asked Questions

What is eQQui?

eQQui is a revolutionary global marketplace made to efficiently connect interpreters to clients. Developed and based in Silicon Valley, California, it’s an open and direct venue for professional interpreters, linguists, interpretation companies, and their customers. More than a platform, eQQui promotes high quality resources and projects for the language community. This technology startup is a melting pot of talents—corporate creatives, designers, programmers, translators, and project managers from various countries who use eQQui’s major languages themselves!


How is "eQQui" pronounced?

We pronounce it as /ekwɪ/ or /ˈē-kwə/, like how you say it in “equinox”. But don’t you think it sounds cute whatever the accent?


Can I change the look of My Page?

Definitely! This part of the site is all yours to modify. Use your photos, videos, voice records, and other things related to the services you provide. While on beta stage, testers get the exclusive privilege to input their previous work information and give their profiles an edge. So grab this chance to tell us what you like or don’t about the My Page feature and we’ll quickly make improvements.


Should I link to eQQui from my website?

We encourage you to do so. Linking to eQQui from your blog or website increases your chance to get clients. Except for embedding eQQui pages on your site, links are much welcome.

Why did I receive an “Invalid username or password” message when I tried to to log in?

It’s either you’ve entered an incorrect password or a nonexistent account. So make sure you input the correct e-mail and password you’ve used to create your account. If you can’t remember your password or username anymore, please use the Forgot Password/E-mail option to request a new password or recover your e-mail.


What should I do if I didn’t receive the confirmation e-mail after registration?

Check your spam folder. If the e-mail is not there, please send another verification e-mail.


How do I create an eQQui account?

Is there a way to unlink my account from Facebook or Google+?

What are my obligations to eQQui?

eQQui is a global marketplace where you can advertise as an interpreter and freelance contractor. Thus, your main obligation is directly to the client for every project you accept. With the freedom to set your rates, schedule, and other preferences comes the responsibility to deliver a professional level of service.


What happens if I miss or reject a request?

Your rejected requests will be added as Missed counts to your profile, which may adversely affect your credibility and result in less requests from potential clients.


What happens when I miss calls or fail to respond to direct messages?

Low responsiveness or ineffective communication might result to negative reviews and therefore, less clients.


What if I fail to meet the client or miscarry the job?

Your pay will be revoked. You may also have a negative review from the client, to which you have a single chance to reply. Should this happen repeatedly, eQQui holds the right to suspend your account in order to protect the community and users of the site.


What if the client wants a direct transaction bypassing eQQui?

You’re entirely responsible for the dealings you’ll have with clients outside the eQQui system. Since eQQui ensures transparency and fair payment of interpreters’ fees, we recommend that you stay within this platform, which protects your interests and promotes your safety.

How can a client rate me?

After each project, a client will automatically be asked to give you a rating. The highest is a five-star rating, which will be shown on your My Page profile.


Can I ask clients for feedback?

How will I receive payment?

If a booked interpreter backs out, how much refund will I get?

The client gets a full refund, inclusive of the service fees.


If a client cancels the project after approval, how much refund will I get?
