About AI training and localization work

AI training (also called data labeling or annotation) is the human work that teaches models to understand and generate language. For localization, contributors supply real-world translations, tone guidance, and cultural corrections so models communicate naturally in different languages and markets.

This kind of work is often remote and flexible, and it directly influences how next-generation AI systems handle language, customer communications, and marketing content.

The role — Swedish Language and Localization Specialist (Micro1)

Micro1 is recruiting a Swedish language and localization contractor to support translation, proofreading, and linguistic QA for content used to train and evaluate AI systems. This contractor role centers on careful writing, editing, and language guidance across documents, marketing materials, and customer communications.

This is a remote, part-time contract position with a minimum commitment of 20+ hours per week. Work is performed in Swedish and English; Swedish proficiency is a key screening requirement.

What you'll do

• Deliver clear written and verbal Swedish communication across business, support, and training contexts.
• Translate, proofread, and localize text with attention to terminology, tone, and cultural accuracy.
• Review and edit deliverables to ensure linguistic consistency, style, and adherence to project guidelines.
• Answer Swedish language questions from colleagues about grammar, terminology, and best usage.
• Join virtual meetings and training sessions in Swedish as needed to support project goals.
• Help improve language processes and documentation to raise quality and efficiency.

Requirements

• Native or near-native fluency in Swedish, written and spoken (screening requirement).
• Strong communication skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Experience in translation, localization, or linguistic quality assurance.
• Ability to work effectively in a remote, multicultural environment.
• Comfort managing multiple projects and deadlines with a quality-first mindset.
• Familiarity with common digital communication and productivity tools.

Helpful background and who should apply

Candidates with a degree in Linguistics, Translation, Communications, or related fields will find this work aligns with their skills, but demonstrable translation/localization experience matters most.

Experience supporting international business operations, customer service teams, or prior work with localization tools is a plus but not required.
