Job Description

ECMA is seeking a Temporary Somali Language Reviewer to support the ECMA ChatBot project by reviewing Somali-language chatbot content for accuracy, clarity, consistency, and cultural appropriateness. The reviewer will focus mainly on validating existing Somali translations against ECMA-approved sources and recommending clear corrections. Basic support to system testing or UAT may be required, but it is not a primary requirement.

  • Maintain consistent Somali terminology and style across chatbot channels.

Basic Testing Support

  • Check whether Somali chatbot responses are understandable, relevant, and aligned with approved content.
  • Report language-related issues clearly for correction and retesting.

  • Document translation and language-quality issues clearly, including examples and recommended corrections.
  • Share concise review findings and issue summaries with the project team.
  • Confirm that corrected Somali responses remain accurate and clear.

Requirements

  • Strong attention to detail and ability to identify meaning, tone, terminology, and usability issues.
  • Ability to document review findings clearly and work with the project team to resolve issues.

Desirable Qualifications

  • Prior experience reviewing existing translations for digital platforms, websites, apps, chatbots, or public-service content.
