Ordering in your own language

You can buy from a seller who works in another language, and sell to a buyer who does. Each of you writes in your own language. Your anchor texts, links and keywords are never changed.

Will my anchor text or link be translated?

No, never. Anchor texts, target links, keywords, brand names, domain names and any article or title you supply are your exact words. We store them exactly as you typed them and show them to the seller exactly as you typed them, in the order screen and anywhere else your order appears. An anchor you write in Spanish stays in Spanish.

In the order screen these answers are marked "Exact text — shown as the buyer wrote it, never translated".

What is translated, then?

Only the parts written for a person to read: the notes in your brief ("Anything the writer should know"), and the messages you and the seller send each other in the order chat.

Where a translation is available, you read the other person's words in your language, labelled "Translated from …". The original is always one click away under "Show the original". If a translation would have changed an anchor text or a link quoted inside a note or a message, we do not show that translation at all; you see the original instead.

Which language do you translate into?

The language you are using the dashboard in. If you switch language, the order screen follows.

Which language do you think I wrote in?

We work it out from what you actually wrote, not from your account settings. If you write a message in Portuguese on an account set to English, the seller sees "Translated from Portuguese".

Where do I find this?

As a buyer: Purchases → Open order. As a seller: Earnings → Open order. Both of you can also reach an order from Marketplace messages. The brief and the order chat are on the order screen.
