This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Translation Review Specialist – Finnish based in Canada.
This is a flexible, remote freelance opportunity focused on evaluating machine-translated Finnish content for accuracy and naturalness. You will compare source text with translations and assess whether meaning, grammar, and tone are correctly preserved. The work is light, task-based, and designed for consistency rather than creative rewriting. It is ideal for detail-oriented individuals with strong Finnish language intuition. You will contribute to improving the quality of language AI systems used at scale. The role requires focus, reliability, and the ability to apply structured evaluation guidelines. Scheduling is flexible, with a low weekly time commitment.
In this role, you will assess and validate machine-translated content to ensure linguistic accuracy and natural flow in Finnish, supporting the improvement of AI-driven language systems. You will work independently on structured evaluation tasks while following clear guidelines and maintaining consistency across reviews.

- Follow evaluation guidelines precisely to ensure consistent and reliable assessments
- Support quality improvement of machine translation systems through accurate feedback
This role requires strong native-level Finnish proficiency and the ability to evaluate language quality with precision and consistency.

- Ability to follow structured guidelines and apply consistent evaluation criteria
- Strong analytical thinking for comparing meaning across languages
- Reliability and comfort working independently in a task-based environment

- Fully remote freelance opportunity
- Flexible scheduling (approximately 1–5 hours per week)
- Long-term project duration (around 1 year)
- Task-based work with simple evaluation format
