Linguist - Mongolian - Remote

Translation and localization opportunities

Contribute to a pool of linguists working across life sciences, IT, marketing, legal, finance, 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, together with the terminology and reference materials supplied for the assignment.
• 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 and precise use of supplied terminology and reference material are required. 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 pathways; the source does not require all three. The work calls for careful attention to language accuracy and to the references supplied for each assignment.

Working arrangement

This is independent contractor work with a flexible schedule. Project demand determines the work available, so hours are not guaranteed and the engagement is intended to provide supplemental income. It is not presented as a dependable replacement for a full time job.

Contractors choose when to work, but accepted assignments carry commitments to quality and timely delivery. Most tasks require availability of at least 2 hours per day or 10 hours per week, so you should be able to sustain the required commitment once you accept work.

The 1099 arrangement does not include employee benefits such as health insurance, paid leave, or retirement contributions. Contractors handle their own tax obligations. The source recommends discussing those obligations with a tax professional before starting.

Projects can provide experience across different industries and domains, with opportunities to expand a portfolio and develop relevant skills. Rates are described as competitive, with prompt payment; no specific rate is stated.

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.
