French Specialist

Global Remote Contract Listed 31 Aug 2026

$25 – $40/hour

About this role

Overview

AI writes fluent-looking French that still slips on what natives feel automatically: it mishandles tu and vous, forces gender agreement in odd places, and reaches for wording that sounds translated rather than spoken. It rarely knows when Quebec usage parts from France, or when an idiom simply does not carry, and a fluent speaker is who catches it.

As a French Expert, you'll judge and correct AI output in French, teaching models to write the way French is actually spoken and written.

What you’ll actually do

  • Evaluate translations between English and French for fidelity, fluency, and the right level of formality.
  • Score and rank model output in French, catching stiff register, misplaced gender, and phrasing no native would use.
  • Write the better version when the model misses, natural enough to pass as originally French.

Roles this fits

Common backgrounds: French Linguist, Bilingual Reviewer, Localization Specialist.

What we look for

  • Native or near-native fluency in French.
  • A feel for register, from tu to vous, and for regional variation.
  • Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
  • No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
