How does our service work?

- 3 Request translate
- On the main page of the service, the client requests the translation of a text or voice message formulated in the language he speaks (the basic language) into the language he is learning (the language being studied). The system will automatically calculate the cost of the request, which will be deducted from your balance.
- 4Response to the request
- The expert receives a notification about the receipt of a request from the client by e-mail and on the main page of the service and sends the client his translation option.
- 5Translation quality
- Due to the fact that native speakers respond to the request, the quality of translation for large languages compares favorably with machine translation, and for small languages, such translation is usually the only alternative.

- Since there are many experts involved in the HowToSayve community, the client usually receives several answers to his request from different experts by e-mail and in the "Questions and Answers" section, many of which may be repeated.

This means that every time other clients request the same transfer again and choose this answer option for payment, the expert will always receive a reward in accordance with his share of ownership of this asset.
