Key Responsibilities

  • Assess machine-translated lyrics for meaning, naturalness, and contextual flow.
  • Provide quality ratings based on predefined criteria.
  • Identify and flag translation issues, awkward phrasing, or cultural missteps.
  • Maintain a consistent and objective judgment throughout the review process.

Project Details

  • Pay Rate: Approximately $17/hour for Learning Explicitness & Translation Quality
  • Location: Remote work, available to residents in many countries including Germany, US, Spain and Remote.
  • Hours: Flexible schedule, with an average of 4 hours per day.
  • Start Date: ASAP
  • Employment Type: Freelance
  • Project Duration: Long-term

Qualifications

  • Native-level or near-native proficiency in both English and German.
  • A deep understanding of linguistic nuances, idioms, and cultural context in both languages.
  • The ability to maintain focus and attention to detail when reviewing large volumes of content.
  • Prior experience in translation, localization, or linguistic quality assessment is a plus.
  • Bonus points if you have:
  • Familiarity with various music genres and lyrical styles.
  • Experience with online evaluation tools or platforms.
