Job description

About Translated 

Translated is where technology and humanity meet to create global understanding. Founded in 1999 by a linguist and a computer scientist, we are on a mission to allow everyone to understand and be understood in their own language.

We envision a world where people from different cultures can communicate seamlessly, with unprecedented access to knowledge, cultural exchange, and business opportunities.

To make this possible, we combine a network of over 750,000 vetted, native-speaking language professionals with a unique translation AI, Lara, capable of recognizing its limits and explaining its choices. Through an ecosystem of AI-powered translation tools (Matecat, Matesub, and Matedub), an enterprise localization platform ( TranslationOS), and an online translator (Lara Translate), we support more than 400,000 clients in 200 languages, helping people and organizations connect across cultures.

Everything we build reflects a simple principle: technology should amplify human potential, not replace it. Whether through a marketing campaign, an event, or a new process, every project at Translated contributes to a larger purpose: bringing people closer together through understanding.

At Translated, you’ll join an international, collaborative environment where curiosity, creativity, and excellence are valued as much as results.

We believe in humans.

 

Translated is expanding its network of talented linguists and is looking for experienced Chinese Traditional Taiwan Senior Linguists as well as professionals with proven experience in Language Lead roles (Chinese Traditional Taiwan).

As a Senior Linguist, you will work on high-quality translation and revision projects for our top enterprise clients. As a Language Lead, you will take on additional responsibilities overseeing the overall linguistic quality of our projects—providing guidance to a team of linguists, monitoring their performance, organizing training sessions, and continuously improving quality standards.

Both roles are freelance, independent positions with a defined number of hours per month dedicated to team and quality management activities (for the Language Lead role) in addition to translation and revision work. In all cases, you’ll act as a trusted cultural and linguistic expert, ensuring that every project resonates naturally with the Taiwanese audience.

Candidates will be asked to complete a short translation test (approximately 500 words) as part of the selection process. If the translation test is successful, you’ll go through a structured training and onboarding program and join our enterprise pool of linguists.

  • (Language Lead Role) Have a clear understanding of the quality being produced for your target language for the client, both as a whole and for each individual member of your team.
