Translator and localisation specialist → Multilingual model evaluation

From translator to multilingual AI evaluator

Machine translation took the volume work. Free training to evaluate how models handle your language, where they quietly fail, and what it costs. Certification and placement support included.

What happened to the job

Machine translation swallowed the high volume, low margin end of the industry, and post editing rates were pushed down to match. The work that survives is checking a machine, at a fraction of what translating paid.

Why you are already good at this

Labs pay a premium precisely where their models are worst, which usually means your language rather than English. Fluency alone is not enough for that work: it needs adequacy and fluency scoring, an error taxonomy applied consistently, and findings written so a reviewer who does not speak the language can act on them. You already have the hard half.

  • Scoring adequacy and fluency on a defined scale, consistently across hundreds of items
  • Classifying errors by category and severity rather than by how bad they feel
  • Judging register, honorifics, dialect, and the cultural fit a literal rendering misses
  • Documenting a language specific failure so a monolingual reviewer can prioritise it
