Linguist - Hawaiian - Remote

Translation and localization opportunities

Contribute to a pool of linguists working across legal, regulatory, marketing and other specialist fields. Assignments involve translation between English and your native language, with attention to meaning, clarity, tone, and cultural nuance. The opportunity combines language production, editing, and quality feedback for digital content.

Language work

• Translate content accurately while preserving the relevant cultural setting and making the meaning clear to the intended audience.
• Edit and refine material for accuracy, appropriate tone, and relevance to its context across digital services.
• Follow current language standards and usage.
• Evaluate language model output and provide structured feedback aimed at improving its quality.
• Work with production staff and colleagues from other functions to localize content for the intended language market.
• Support content development, localization, and quality assurance for digital tools and applications.
• When transcreation is part of an assignment, adapt the writing creatively so that it reads naturally in the target language while meeting the brief.

The work can involve different content types and areas of specialization. Careful use of references and language conventions matters across both original translation and the review of existing material.

Translation qualifications

Native proficiency in the target language is required. The following qualification routes reflect the stated ISO 17100 criteria. The education and professional experience requirement can be met through any one of these routes:

• A graduate qualification in translation, linguistics, or language studies.
• A graduate qualification in another subject together with 2 years of full time professional translation experience.
• At least 5 years of full time professional translation experience.

These are alternative qualification pathways, and one of the three routes is sufficient. The work calls for careful attention to language accuracy and to the references supplied for each assignment.

Working arrangement

The engagement is an independent contractor translation pool with flexible scheduling. Contributors choose when to work and can consider assignments across different industries and specialist domains.

Rates are described as competitive, with prompt payment. The opportunity also offers collaboration with production staff, linguists and other subject specialists, as well as projects that can broaden translation experience and a professional portfolio.

Selection and onboarding

Prepare an updated CV in English describing translation experience and relevant areas of specialization. A test in a relevant specialist domain may be required before selection.

For selected contributors, the remaining steps include an application form, payment setup, and completion of onboarding. Assignment participation follows selection and any required assessment.
