Across the 516 live jobs on this page that list pay, most pay $12–65/hr, and the median is $37/hr. Work covers major world languages and rarer ones alike, and certain roles only accept people who live where that language is spoken.

  • SME (subject-matter expert: someone with a degree, licence or deep experience in a field)
  • Data annotation (labelling data (text, images, audio) so AI can learn from it)
  • Search quality rater (someone who checks whether search results match what a person was looking for)

  • Legit Score (our 0–100 rating of how safe a platform is to work for, based on published inputs)

faq

Real questions, short answers

What does an AI linguist do?

Day to day, an AI linguist produces and reviews text in their language, scores AI responses on grammar, tone and cultural fit, and sometimes records audio. Translation work means checking AI output against the source.

How much do AI language jobs pay?

Across the 516 live jobs on this page that list pay, most pay $12–65/hr, and the median is $37/hr. Pay swings widely by language and task: Alignerr's October 2026 listings put Spanish transcription at $10–35 an hour, a French language expert at $25–30 and UK English voice acting at $120–200.

Which languages are in demand?

Demand shifts from one project to the next. To see which languages are hiring right now, check the language filter on our job board. Right now Meridial, Lilt and Welo Global have the most open roles here.

Can I do AI language work from any country?
