Edit machine translations into accurate, fluent text, as paid work from home. It suits translators and careful readers with native or near-native command of the target language and strong English.
What the work is for
Your edit, set beside the machine's version and the source, shows exactly what the machine got wrong. AI teams use these edits to train translation models and to measure them. YPAI post-edits across more than 300 language pairs.
The work
- Post-edit machine output against the source, to the quality level the project sets.
- Fix errors of meaning, grammar, terminology and style.
- Mark segments the machine got badly wrong so they can be reviewed.
What to expect
- You work from home, on your own device.
- Each project gives you the source text and the machine's version, segment by segment.
You need
- Native or near-native command of the target language, and strong English.
- Spot errors in meaning and terminology while working quickly.
- 18 years or older.
Good to know
- Text the machine got right stays as it is, even when you would have phrased it differently.
- Work comes per project and per language pair, so how often you are invited depends on demand for yours.
