Founded in 1999 by a linguist and a computer scientist, we are on a mission to allow everyone to understand and be understood in their own language. We envision a world where people from different cultures can communicate seamlessly, with unprecedented access to knowledge, cultural exchange, and business opportunities.

Translated is expanding its network of talented linguists and is looking for experienced Chinese Traditional Taiwan Senior Linguists as well as professionals with proven experience in Language Lead roles (Chinese Traditional Taiwan).

Both roles are freelance, independent positions with a defined number of hours per month dedicated to team and quality management activities (for the Language Lead role) in addition to translation and revision work.
