Scottish Translator Internship — Always Hiring
Scottish Translator Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize
Apply for the Scottish Translator Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize — a six-month certified program, hiring continuously, on one of the most distinctive desks in the linguistics cell. The work is English to Scots and Scots to English for live engagements: public-facing copy, community material, and heritage-sensitive text where the decision to write in Scots at all is itself the strategy. Interns learn the desk's orthographic convention from week one, train across Doric and Central varieties, and translate real material under senior markup throughout. Below is the full description — the work, the eligibility bar, and how selection runs.
01The actual work
What will you actually do as a Scottish Translator at CryptoMize?
Translate engagement material between English and Scots — public-facing copy, community notices, heritage and cultural text — under the desk's review chain
Hold the desk's orthographic convention across every document: one spelling standard, applied consistently, because the language itself will not impose one
Match variety to audience deliberately — Doric wording for North-East readers, Central Scots for broad Lowland reach — with the choice justified in review
Calibrate density: broad Scots for local trust, lighter Scots toward Scottish Standard English for wider audiences, the dial set per engagement
Preserve the literary register when a text calls for it — the Burns-and-makars inheritance is available to Scottish prose and expected in cultural work
Flag the untranslatable honestly: where an English concept has no honest Scots rendering, say so and propose re-conception instead of forcing
Run QA passes on your own drafts — spelling-convention drift, density consistency, and reader-register checks before senior markup
Build a reviewed translation portfolio across Doric, Central, and lighter-register work by program end

Q: What does a Scottish Translator intern do at CryptoMize?
A: You translate live engagement material between English and Scots, hold the desk's spelling convention across everything you touch, and train across Doric and Central varieties — building a reviewed portfolio over the six months.
Q: Is Scottish the same as Gaelic here?
A: No — the desk works in Scots, the West Germanic language of Lowland Scotland, sister to English with its own literature from the makars to Burns. Scottish Gaelic is a Celtic language and a different discipline entirely.
Q: Why does spelling convention matter so much in Scots?
A: Scots has no academy imposing one standard spelling, so documents drift the moment discipline slips. The desk maintains its own written convention and every intern learns it first — consistency is what marks the work as professional.
Q: Which variety of Scots should applicants know?
A: Native command of any variety qualifies — Central Scots is the commonest, Doric the most distinct. Month 3 rotates you through varieties beyond your own so the portfolio spans readerships.
Q: Is the internship paid?
A: Compensation is settled at screening against demonstrated skill, engagement class, urgency, and record. No figures are published; every offer is individual.
Q: How long is the program and what certification is provided?
A: Six months at our New Delhi HQ, certificate on completion — plus the reviewed portfolio across Doric, Central, and lighter-register Scots, which is the credential the desk actually hires on.
