Translator / Localization Specialist – Freelance / Remote

**Peak Media World** is looking for a reliable and detail-oriented **Translator / Localization Specialist** to support us in expanding our digital content into additional international markets. We are not looking for someone who simply translates word for word. We are looking for someone who understands **localization**: adapting content so that it feels natural, clear, culturally appropriate, and professionally written for the target audience. ## About the Role Our content is currently produced primarily in **German and English**. We are now expanding into four additional languages: * **Spanish** * **Portuguese** * **Italian** * **French** The role will initially focus on translating and localizing existing and newly created content, including digital guides, books, articles, website content, product descriptions, and other digital materials. Our content portfolio will continue to grow, so this can develop into an ongoing collaboration. ## What You Will Do * Translate and localize German and/or English content into your native or near-native language * Adapt wording, expressions, tone, and examples to the target market where appropriate * Ensure that translated content sounds natural rather than machine-translated * Review and correct AI-assisted translations * Check grammar, spelling, terminology, consistency, and readability * Maintain consistent terminology across larger projects * Identify cultural or linguistic issues that should be adapted rather than translated literally * Follow provided style guides, terminology lists, and formatting requirements * Perform quality checks before content is published * Communicate clearly when something in the source content is unclear or requires a decision ## AI-Assisted Workflow We use **AI wherever it can make our processes faster and more efficient**. This means you may receive AI-assisted translations or drafts as a starting point. Your role is **not to compete with AI on word-for-word translation**, but to provide the human expertise that AI cannot reliably provide: **accuracy · natural language · cultural understanding · consistency · quality control** You should therefore be comfortable working with AI tools and reviewing AI-generated content critically. ## What We Are Looking For You should have: * Native-level or excellent professional command of at least **one** of the target languages * Very good English and/or German * Excellent written language skills * A strong feeling for language, tone, and context * Excellent attention to detail * A structured and reliable working style * Experience with translation, localization, content editing, proofreading, or similar work * The ability to follow detailed instructions and style guidelines * Good communication skills * The ability to work independently and meet agreed deadlines Experience with **digital products, publishing, e-commerce, websites, SEO content, or online content** is an advantage. ## Important You do **not** need to speak all four languages. We are interested in specialists who can contribute to one or more of the following language markets: **Spanish · Portuguese · Italian · French** Please indicate clearly in your application: 1. Which language(s) you can work in 2. Your level in each language 3. Your experience with translation/localization 4. Which tools you normally use 5. Whether you have experience reviewing or improving AI-generated translations ## Working Arrangement * **Remote** * **Freelance / part-time collaboration** * Flexible working hours * Project-based work with the potential for ongoing collaboration * Workload will grow according to our content production and localization needs ## About Peak Media World Peak Media World is building a portfolio of digital content, knowledge products, and international online projects.
