Technical Translator (Remote, Developer-Focused Docs)

Job Description

Job Description

Get paid to sharpen technical translations! DevDocs is hiring freelance editors to polish developer-focused blogs. Flexible side work, remote, $50 per blog.

DevDocs is looking for skilled editors to help us improve technical blogs translated by AI.

This is part-time, flexible work, perfect for experienced translators, technical writers, or engineers who want to pick up a few hours of paid editing each week.

You’ll be editing developer-focused blogs, making sure the final translations are accurate, natural-sounding, and useful to real users. We’re not just looking for proofreading—we need people who can catch where meaning gets lost and reshape translations to read like they were written natively.

Each blog pays $50. Most assignments take about 1–3 hours to edit depending on complexity. You’ll be able to accept work based on your availability, no set schedule.

Requirements

• Native-level fluency in one or more of the following languages : Korean, Japanese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Swedish, or Hebrew.
• Strong written English comprehension —source content is in English.
• Technical fluency : you’re comfortable working with developer documentation, APIs, or software-related content. (You don't need to be a coder, but you should recognize when translation needs technical accuracy.)
• Experience editing translations or technical documents preferred.
• Able to revise machine-translated text into natural, clear, and contextually appropriate writing.
• Comfort with basic file formats : Markdown, Google Docs, Word documents, etc.
• Detail-oriented mindset : You notice where meaning gets subtly lost, not just where a sentence sounds “off.”
