What languages does Wordy support? How does this affect deadlines?

You can create jobs only in the main variants of English: US, UK, Canadian and Australian. There were plans to extend Wordy to other languages, but this proved too difficult (or costly?) to implement. Many of our editors can work with several flavours of English, so jobs can be claimed at all times of the day. However, note that, for example, many editors who work with US English are based in the US. Similarly, many of those who work with UK English are based in the UK. Ditto for Canadian and Australian English, but we have fewer editors who can work with these two versions of English. And although our editors are freelancers and can choose their own working hours, many of them do work office hours, so please be aware of time zones when creating an urgent job.

For instance, if you’ve been working all night on an important document and upload it to Wordy at 2 am EST, you may find that no US-based editors are available. However, that’s 7 am in the UK (depending on the time of year). So, creating the job as UK English is one way to expedite it. In many cases, the differences between UK and US English don’t arise, so posting as the wrong form of English may work for you. Of course, if you’re happy to wait until our editors on the East Coast wake up, then you can leave the job as US English.
