Translators: booking scoping calls for large projects

A large translation project, such as a website, a technical manual or a batch of contracts, needs a call before you commit: volume, subject, deadlines and terminology. Let clients book that call online in the hours you choose, with samples sent by email first. You start the call informed, your translation hours stay quiet, and the project's check-ins are booked before work starts.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give calls one place per slot.

Durations and prices are examples: set your own. Leave the price empty for free calls.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Ask for the company and language pair in the note, and for documents by email: confidential material doesn't belong in the note.

Open call slots only at set times, such as late afternoons. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so the rest of the day stays free for translation.

Book doesn't create video links. Use a fixed meeting link and say in the description that you send it by email after the booking.

Once the project is confirmed, book check-in calls yourself from your bookings list at each delivery stage. First and last name are enough; if you enter the client's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file. Rescheduling works across services.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you. Book doesn't email clients about changes, sends no reminders and doesn't take payments, so invoice as usual. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
