Overview

AfterQuery keeps a talent pool for bilingual Chinese experts who can support work across the humanities. The role is remote and sits in the Humanities department, with assignments that vary by project rather than following one fixed brief. Pay is listed at $75.00 per hour. People in this pool may translate, review, or analyze Chinese and English material as project needs arise.

What You'll Do6

Translate Chinese and English source material across humanities subjects while preserving meaning, tone, and context.
Review translations and original texts for accuracy, readability, and cultural fit.
Compare source and target versions to catch omissions, mistranslations, and shifts in meaning.
Write short analyses or summaries that explain language and cultural points for project teams.
Apply consistent terminology and style across assignments with different subject matter.
Flag passages that need a subject specialist or a second language check.

Requirements5

Fluency in Chinese and English, with the ability to move between both languages in written work.
Background in a humanities field such as literature, history, philosophy, or linguistics.
Experience with translation, editing, proofreading, or content review.
Comfort handling assignments that change in topic and scope.
Strong written judgment and attention to context, tone, and cultural reference.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate reads and writes Chinese and English with equal comfort and brings a humanities background to translation, editing, or review work. You should enjoy project-based remote assignments and switch between topics without losing accuracy or tone.

Salary Insight

$75.00 per hour is the stated rate for this pool. That figure sits above many freelance translation and language review rates, so the role should draw candidates with strong Chinese-English fluency and subject depth in the humanities.
