What this actually is
You evaluate AI responses in the target language, rate translation quality, write prompts in your native language, and flag errors. Not professional translation work in the traditional sense. The platform title (Bring Your Voice to AI Training - Malay) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.
How Outlier picks people
- Create a profile and add your skills from your CV.
- Verify your identity with a valid ID and a phone number from your country.
- Do the skill screenings. They take about 30 to 90 minutes.
- Then finish the onboarding for each project. It is different for every project.
Before you start
- Have your CV and LinkedIn profile ready before you start.
- You do not have to accept every project invitation.
Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.
