Translation / Captioning Specialist

October 23, 2026

Other Jobs To Apply

Language is the last mile of communication — and if you speak more than one, you're in demand. NoGigiddy is looking for Translation and Captioning Specialists to convert content across languages and formats: translating documents and web copy, captioning videos, and producing subtitles for audio and video content. This is precise, detail-oriented work that pays well and can be done entirely remotely on a flexible schedule. Fluency in English plus at least one additional language is required. Formal translation credentials help but are not a barrier to entry.

Responsibilities

Translate written documents, web content, marketing copy, and communications between English and target languages with accuracy and cultural sensitivity
Produce accurate closed captions and subtitles for video content using captioning tools
Time-sync captions to match spoken audio precisely
Review and edit machine-generated translations and captions for accuracy and natural flow
Maintain consistent terminology and tone in accordance with client or brand glossaries
Flag content that requires cultural context, localization, or sensitive handling
Meet turnaround deadlines — translation and captioning work is often time-sensitive

Requirements

Native or near-native fluency in English plus at least one additional language
No formal translation certification required — though CAT tool experience is a plus
Excellent command of grammar, syntax, and idiom in both languages
Ability to preserve meaning, tone, and intent across languages — not just literal word conversion
Familiarity with captioning tools (Rev, Kapwing, Amara, or similar) preferred
Meticulous attention to detail — a mistranslation or caption sync error is a failure
Reliable internet and a quiet workspace for audio-focused captioning work

Benefits

Earn $18–$30/hr depending on language pair and content type
Contract-based with flexible volume — take on as much as you can manage
Fully remote, async-friendly work
Rare language pairs command premium rates
Build a professional portfolio of translation and captioning credits
