About AI Training and Localization Work

AI training is the human work behind modern artificial intelligence. Language professionals help models improve by reviewing outputs, correcting errors, judging response quality, and explaining what accurate, clear, culturally appropriate content should look like.

This project combines professional localization expertise with generative AI evaluation, giving experienced language specialists the opportunity to influence how AI handles translation, terminology, reasoning, and written communication.

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking a Chinese (Simplified) to English Localization and Translation Expert for an AI training and evaluation project. You will assess AI-generated outputs and make quality decisions using professional translation, localization, LQA, and MQM expertise.

The role is an intermediate-level, part-time contractor engagement with a workload of less than 20 hours per week. Compensation is $24 USD per hour. Applicants must be based in Hong Kong, Malaysia, or Taiwan.

• Work type: Part-time contractor
• Time requirement: Less than 20 hours per week
• Pay: $24 USD per hour
• Eligible locations: Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Taiwan
• Language focus: Chinese (Simplified) and English

What You’ll Do

You will review AI-generated content and provide structured, defensible judgments about its translation and overall response quality. Work may require consulting reliable sources and documenting the reasoning behind your decisions.

The project involves both language quality assessment and broader evaluation of whether AI responses are correct, clear, well-reasoned, and compliant with the prompt and applicable guidelines.

• Evaluate correctness, clarity, reasoning quality, and adherence to prompts and guidelines
• Identify translation, localization, reasoning, and methodology errors
• Apply LQA and MQM error categories and severity levels consistently
• Fact-check units, names, references, dates, and other localized content when needed
• Write high-quality corrected outputs, explanations, and model answers
• Rate and rank multiple AI responses using structured criteria
• Apply terminology, style guides, CAT tools, and QA workflows
• Document decisions clearly and think through potential root causes

Requirements

This project is designed for experienced language professionals who can make nuanced localization decisions in Chinese (Simplified) and interpret English prompts, source material, and evaluation guidelines at a professional level.

• Native or near-native Chinese (Simplified) proficiency with strong professional writing and editing skills
• English proficiency at C1 or higher for reading and writing
• At least 5 years of professional localization or translation experience
• A bachelor’s degree or higher in Translation, Linguistics, Localization, Communications, or a related field
• Demonstrated experience applying LQA and MQM typologies, including severity, category, and root-cause decisions
• Proficiency with CAT tools and QA workflows, including translation memories, termbases, automated checks, and structured guidelines
• Strong terminology management and copyediting skills across tone, register, inclusivity, and cultural nuance
• Ability to fact-check localized content using reliable sources and sound reasoning
• Dependable throughput, clear documentation, and responsiveness across time zones
• Prior AI data training, annotation, or evaluation experience is preferred

Who Should Apply

Apply if you are a seasoned Chinese (Simplified) and English language professional who can balance linguistic accuracy with practical, evidence-based evaluation. Your experience with terminology, style guides, CAT tools, and LQA/MQM frameworks will help you distinguish subtle translation issues from broader problems in AI-generated responses.

The project may be a strong fit for localization specialists, translators, linguistic QA professionals, and multilingual editors seeking flexible, part-time work at the intersection of language and artificial intelligence.
