Time Tracking for Translators

Translators and interpreters juggle per-word fees, hourly rates, and flat project fees across multiple clients at once. Without accurate time records, it's impossible to know whether a flat-fee project was profitable or whether your effective rate is what you think it is. Sandtime.io makes it easy to log time per client and project as you work, so your invoices are accurate and every quote going forward is based on real data.

Why Translators & Interpreters choose Sandtime.io

🌐

Track Time by Client and Project

Assign every hour to the right client and project - translation, editing, proofreading, DTP, research - as you work. Know exactly what each project costs in time before you invoice.

⏱️

Capture Every Billable Hour

Log time as each task happens - or add it manually after a focused session. No billable work disappears because you were deep in a document and forgot to start a timer.

📊

Know Your Real Hourly Rate

See how many hours each client has consumed. Know your effective hourly rate on flat-fee projects. Use real data to quote future work accurately instead of guessing.

📄

Generate Invoices Without Guessing

Pull invoice-ready time logs by client, project, or language pair at the end of each month. No rebuilding the week from emails and CAT tool history.

Common use cases

  • Log translation, editing, and proofreading time separately per project
  • Track time across multiple active clients without mixing hours
  • Know the real hourly rate on flat-fee and per-word projects
  • Pull a client billing summary at the end of each month

Key features

One-Click Timers

Start timing when you open a file and stop when you close it. One click logs to the right client and project without breaking your focus.

Retroactive Time Entry

Add any task after the fact with a note. Nothing is lost because you were deep in a document or on a call with the client.

Multiple Projects at Once

Run separate timers for multiple active projects at once. Switch between clients without losing time on either.

Export and Report

Pull time reports by client, project, or date range. Export to CSV for invoicing, tax records, or quoting future work.
