Creating your account

Creating a LionRapid account takes a few minutes: you sign up with an email address and password, verify the email with a code, and answer a few onboarding questions so the platform knows who you are and which languages you work in.

  1. Open the sign-up page and enter your email address.

  2. Choose a password. A checklist under the field shows the requirements as you type — the password must be:

    • at least 8 characters long
    • contain at least one uppercase letter (A–Z)
    • contain at least one lowercase letter (a–z)
    • contain at least one number (0–9)
    • contain at least one special character
    • free of repeated character patterns (the same character three or more times in a row)
  3. Re-enter the password in Confirm Password and select Sign Up.

If you already have an account, use the Log in link under the form instead.

After signing up, LionRapid sends a 6-digit verification code to your email address.

  1. Open the email and copy the 6-digit code. The page shows how long the code remains valid.

  2. Enter the code and select Verify.

If you leave before verifying, just log in with your email and password — LionRapid brings you back to the verification step.

Onboarding is a short sequence of steps — the progress bar at the top shows where you are: Email, Role, Details, Expertise. Each step must be completed before the next one unlocks; there is no skip.

Choose one of two roles:

  • Translator — you translate documents yourself, and can be found and hired by others.
  • Company — you order translations and manage projects.

Enter your First Name and Surname. These appear on your profile and next to your activity across the platform.

What this step asks depends on your account type.

Translators fill in:

  • Experience Level — one of intern, junior, mid, senior, lead, or expert.
  • Languages — add each language you work in by typing its name or code, then set a fluency for each one: native, professional, advanced, upper intermediate, intermediate, or basic. Add at least one language.

Companies enter their Company Name.

Select Finish. You land on your projects list, ready to create a project.

Log in with your email and password. If you forget the password, select Forgot password? on the login page:

  1. Enter your email and select Send Reset Link. If the address has an account, a reset link is emailed to it.

  2. Open the link, choose a new password (the same requirements as at sign-up apply), confirm it, and select Update Password.

  3. You are logged in and taken to your projects.
