Sanskrit Language Expert — Translation & Review

About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the leading platform for building careers in AI training and data labeling. We connect skilled freelancers with projects that train and improve AI systems, helping contributors build a unified portfolio and grow durable freelance careers in a fast-growing industry.

About This Work and the Industry

AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback) is the human layer that teaches models how to read, write, and reason. Contributors annotate, translate, evaluate, and create examples that directly shape how modern AI behaves. Many projects are 100% remote, flexible, and accessible to people with language expertise rather than prior AI experience.

The Role

Micro1 is recruiting a Sanskrit language expert to support AI training tasks and language-focused content development. This is a remote contractor, part-time role requiring at least 20 hours per week and offering pay in the range of USD $45–$95 per hour.

No prior AI experience is required; we seek strong Sanskrit linguistic skills, proven translation/editing experience, and excellent attention to detail.
