Full description
Overview
German gives AI plenty to get wrong: it botches case endings, builds compound nouns no one would actually say, and misses when du should be Sie. Fluent-looking output can still feel mechanical, and only a native ear catches when Austrian or Swiss usage would read differently.
As a German Expert, you'll judge and correct AI output in German, teaching models to write the way people really speak and write it.
What you’ll actually do
- Assess translations between English and German for accuracy, flow, and tone.
- Rate and rank model output in German, flagging broken cases, unnatural compounds, and the wrong level of formality.
- Rewrite what falls short so it reads as native German, not a translation wearing a disguise.
Roles this fits
Common backgrounds: German Linguist, Bilingual Reviewer, Localization Specialist.
What we look for
- Native or near-native fluency in German.
- An ear for formality, du versus Sie, and for regional variation.
- Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
- No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
