Overview

Automated metrics can't judge whether Portuguese text actually sounds right: tone, idiom, cultural nuance, and the thousand small choices a native speaker makes without thinking.

As a Portuguese Translator you'll judge and correct AI output in Portuguese, teaching models to write the way people actually speak.

What you’ll actually do

• Evaluate translations between English and Portuguese for fidelity, fluency, and tone, the way a professional editor would.
• Rank and rate model output in Portuguese, catching what automated metrics miss.
• Write the better version when the model falls short, natural enough that no one could tell it was a translation.

Roles this fits

Common backgrounds: Portuguese Linguist, Bilingual Reviewer, Localization Specialist.

What we look for

• Native or near-native fluency in Portuguese.
• Translation, localization, or professional writing experience preferred.
• Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
• No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
