Try to provide as much detail as possible about the project when you initially contact a contractor, including:

• a clear description of your problem
• the URL of the thread(s) if you have opened one on the WPML forums so that the contractor can read the history
• the URL of your website
• how you want your languages to show up (a different domain per language, a different directory per language or the language strings)
• the default languages and the other language(s) you plan to implement
• the name of the (child) theme you are using, possibly with the URL
• other plugins that might be relevant
• your location, preferably with your timezone compared with Greenwich Mean Time
• any other details you can think of
• last but not least, you should be prepared to send contractor login details for an Administrator account (an FTP helps a great deal too).
