Work Location: Remote

Work Schedule: Flexible remote schedule with agreed availability for project coordination and review

Start Date: Week of 11/2 (most likely toward the end of the week)

AllenComm plans to use AI to translate existing InDesign files directly within the course files into Spanish. A native-language contractor is needed to validate the translated content and make InDesign formatting and layout updates required for the localized courses to display and function correctly. Planning assumes translated text may expand approximately 30% compared with the English source.

• Review AI-translated courses and prepare the localized files for final QA and delivery.
• The contractor will validate the translation as a native speaker and make formatting and layout adjustments caused by translated text expansion in InDesign.
• Confirm terminology, instructions, labels, navigation text, and learner-facing content accurately reflect the English source.
• Adjust InDesign layouts to accommodate an estimated 30% text expansion.
• Resolve text overflow, clipping, wrapping, spacing, font sizing, button and label fit, and other visual issues created by localization.
• Review the completed course in context to confirm all learner-facing translated content is readable and displayed correctly.
• Flag unclear source meaning or terminology rather than making unsupported assumptions.

Qualifications

• Native speaker of the target language with strong English proficiency.
• Experience in InDesign, reviewing, editing, or validating translated/localized content.
• Ability to edit text, layouts, formatting, buttons, labels, and slide elements.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to compare translated content against English source material.
• Ability to work within existing course files without changing functionality or design unnecessarily.

Requirements

• Previous eLearning localization experience.
• Familiarity with accessibility considerations in digital learning.
• Experience validating AI-generated translations.

Benefits

• Compensation Type: Hourly
