# Irish Translator Internship at CryptoMize An Irish translator at CryptoMize moves written material between English and Gaeilge — public-sector documentation, heritage-body briefs, and diaspora-facing campaign content — under An Caighdeán Oifigiúil, the official standard. Because Irish spelling, mutations, and dialect variation (Ulster, Connacht, Munster) punish casual borrowing from English structure, every segment demands genuine grammatical command, not cognate guesswork. Apply for the Irish Translator Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize — a six-month certified program, rolling intake, built for candidates who hold real Gaeilge grammar rather than school-remembered phrases. This is a rare desk: Irish work arrives as public-body documentation, cultural-institution material, and campaign content aimed at Gaeltacht and diaspora readers, and it cannot be faked with a dictionary. Interns translate live material from the opening weeks, learn the mutation system as a working tool, and finish with a reviewed portfolio under their name. Below is the full description, the eligibility bar, and how selection runs. ## Facts - Location: New Delhi (HQ), CDR Building, Chhatarpur - Type: 6-month internship, certification provided - Availability: immediate, rolling intake (always hiring) - Compensation: discussed at screening ## What you will actually do - Translate live engagement copy between English and Irish — public-facing documents, cultural-body briefs, and reputation material for Ireland-touching accounts - Apply séimhiú and urú mutations correctly under sentence grammar, treating the Caighdeán standard as your default register and deviating only with cause - Re-engineer English verb-subject-object expectations: Irish syntax is reconstructed, not word-swapped, and the desk drills this from week one - Maintain the Irish termbase — institutional vocabulary, Gaeltacht placenames, and heritage terminology held consistent across every account - Localize campaign creative for Gaeltacht communities in Connemara, Donegal, and Kerry, flagging phrases whose Hiberno-English flavour will not survive transfer - Run the desk’s QA pass — fada placement, eclipsis accuracy, spelling under the official standard — before any Irish text reaches a reviewer - Prepare bilingual versions of stakeholder documents where the Irish and English columns must each read as originals, not mirrors - Handle diaspora-facing material for Irish-heritage audiences in North America and Australia, where register skews cultural rather than bureaucratic ## Skills - Working command of An Caighdeán Oifigiúil written Irish - Grammatical fluency in séimhiú and urú mutation patterns - Syntax reconstruction — Irish VSO order internalised, not translated around - Fada and diacritic discipline at production speed - Dialect awareness across Ulster, Connacht, and Munster usage - English source analysis — decompose meaning before re-building it in Irish - Institutional vocabulary research for public-sector material - Bilingual document craft where both language columns must stand alone - QA-pass discipline on terminology consistency - Cultural register judgment for heritage and diaspora audiences - Placename and proper-noun handling under official Irish forms - Confidentiality with NDA-grade client documents ## Tools - Smartcat (CAT workspace with Irish segment matching) - Translation-memory leverage with fada-safe terminology recall - Focal.ie and Tearma.ie — national Irish terminology databases - An Caighdeán Oifigiúil reference and the official orthography standard - Duine-cruinn QA checklists adapted for mutation correctness ## Questions and answers ### What does an Irish Translator intern actually do at CryptoMize? Real Irish-English transfer on live material — institutional documents, cultural briefs, campaign content — with the mutation system and the Caighdeán standard enforced from the first segment you file. ### Who is eligible for the Irish Translator Internship? Candidates with genuine written Gaeilge — grammar, mutations, and standard orthography — plus strong English. A degree helps but is not the gate; the screening translation is. ### I am a fresher — is this Irish internship open to me? Yes. The program is built as a fresher track: six months, certification on completion, and conversion into full-time language roles for interns who clear the final review. Intake stays open year-round. ### Why does Irish translation need special training — is it not like any language pair? Irish inverts English word order (verb first), rewrites word beginnings through lenition and eclipsis, and splits into three living dialect clusters. Machine output in Irish fails visibly at all three, which is exactly why the desk trains it manually. ### Is the Irish Translator Internship paid? Compensation is settled at screening around demonstrated skill, the engagement class you support, urgency of live requirements, and track record. Figures are deliberately unpublished; every offer is individual. ### How long is the program, and will I get a certificate? Six months, based at our New Delhi headquarters, with certification on completion — and the shipped, senior-reviewed portfolio that carries more weight than the paper. ### What does selection involve? A short application, a two-way screening translation (Irish to English and back) that includes a mutation-and-register correction task, and a final interview with the language desk lead. Most cycles close within about two weeks. Apply: https://cryptomize.com/careers/internship/apply/
