TELUS International is looking for Yorkshire English Writer for an English Transcreation and Annotation project. Please find the details as follows.
Task description: The task is a two-step process including transcreation and annotation, depending on the availability , the linguist will be assigned to only one step of the process.
Transcreation phase: Transcreate given texts into an English dialect. Please note that the source will be in English. The sentence (about 10 words) or passage (about 40-50 words) should be transcreated in a way that’s most natural for a native speaker of their dialect.
Annotation phase: Annotate prompt/output into an English dialect. Take prompts and outputs in their target dialect and annotate them based on a series of questions aimed to measure responsiveness.
Note: All annotators/transcreators should be native speakers of the dialect. For example, in US versus UK standard English there are many examples of lexical differences (lorry vs truck; rubbish vs garbage, etc), but it does require some thought to introduce syntactical structure:
In the US, the answer to “Did Frank love it?” is “He must have”; in the UK is “He must have done”.
US: “the film was very good” vs UK: “the film was well good”
UK: “The New York Red Bulls are an American Soccer team”; UK: “FC Red Bull Salzburg is an Austrian association football club”.
