Natural Language Technical Translator with Hindi

This is a remote position.

LocalEyes is looking for a Translator with the right mix of technical, creative translation and communication skills to provide creative natural language translations into Hindi.

The translator needs to be experienced in creative translation and must demonstrate an excellent grasp of Hindi linguistics while being thoroughly up-to-date with everyday Hindi spoken language, including slang and other regional colloquialisms.

While, the role has both a creative and technical focus, the bulk of the work involves the manipulation of code and variables within code in accordance with grammar requirements for the language in question. This role would therefore suit an individual who has experience working in an XML or similar environment and has a high comfort level translating content containing embedded variables in a markup language type environment.


The responsibilities of the successful candidates will include:

• Creative Linguistic adaptation (Translation/review) of virtual personal assistant dialogs from U.S. English to Hindi.
  
• Adaptation of personality-flavoured dialogs on both a linguistic and XML based code level to ensure target language is culturally relevant and creative.
  
• Investigation and resolution of linguistic bugs as identified by client based QA team.
  
• Communicating and close collaboration with client based Engineers, Project Managers and other linguists to ensure content is translated in accordance with clients quality requirements.
