PAY: $2,000 – $3,000 USD PER WEEK
VOLUME: MAX 20 PAGES PER WEEK
LOCATION: MUST BE NATIVE SAUDI ARABIA LOCAL (Current Resident Preferred)
We are not looking for a "translator." We are looking for a cultural architect. We have world-class Webtoons and Books from global creators, and we need someone to "Saudi-ize" them. If the translation feels like it came from Google or a textbook, do not apply.
🎯 THE MISSION:
You will take international stories and rewrite the dialogue so it feels like it was written in the heart of Riyadh, Jeddah, or Dammam. * NO ROBOTS: We hate "Formal Arabic" (Fusha) for these projects. We want the pulse of the street.
INSIDE JOKES: You must be able to swap a Western/Asian joke for a Saudi-specific reference that will make a local reader laugh out loud.
SLANG MASTERY: You need to know the "Swaif" (slang) of 2026. You should know how Gen Z and Alpha in Saudi actually communicate.
🚫 STRICT REQUIREMENTS:
NATIVE SAUDI ONLY: You must be a local who understands the nuances of the culture, religion, and social etiquette of the Kingdom.
CERTIFIED PRO: While we mentioned NC2 (vocational), for this level of pay, we require professional credentials such as:
Accreditation from the Saudi Literature, Publishing & Translation Commission.
Or ATA/NAATI/CIOL certification.
A deep portfolio of published creative work (Comics, Games, or Novels).
TRANSCREATION SKILLS: You don't translate word-for-word. You translate emotion and intent.
💼 JOB DETAILS:
Weekly Retainer: $2,000 - $3,000 (depending on experience/speed).
Workload: A maximum of 20 pages per week. Quality over quantity.
Long-term: This is a recurring weekly role for the right candidate.
📩 HOW TO APPLY (FOLLOW CAREFULLY):
Do not just comment "Interested." We will ignore you.
PORTFOLIO: Send a PDF of your previous localization work.
THE "SLANG TEST": In your message, rewrite this sentence into modern Saudi slang used by young people: "Oh my god, I can't believe he actually did that! That's so embarrassing, I'm literally dying."
SUBJECT LINE: Start your message with the emoji ⚡ so we know you read the whole post.
