Malay Specialist
About this role
Overview Malay trips AI on register: formal written Malay and everyday colloquial speech pull in different directions, and the model blends them awkwardly. It mishandles affixes that change a word entirely and often cannot tell where Malaysian usage parts from Indonesian, which a native speaker sees straight away. As a Malay Expert, you'll judge and correct AI output in Malay, teaching models to match the register and the region. What you’ll actually do - Review translations between English and Malay for meaning, flow, and register. - Score and rank model output in Malay, catching misused affixes and mismatched formality. - Write the better version when the model falls short, natural enough to read as native. Roles this fits Common backgrounds: Malay Linguist, Bilingual Reviewer, Localization Specialist. What we look for - Native or near-native fluency in Malay. - A feel for affixes and for formal versus colloquial usage. - Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal. - No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it. How it works Apply Qualify Work & get paid Compensation Up to $40/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization.
