# Konkani Translator Internship at CryptoMize A Konkani translator at CryptoMize produces written deliverables in the Goa-official language across its two working scripts — Devanagari for state-facing documents, Roman for the Catholic-community readership living in it — plus English versions of Konkani sources from Goa, Canara, and Kasaragod. The defining skill is script judgment: knowing which page each audience reads natively. The Konkani Translator Internship at CryptoMize is a six-month certified Delhi program for freshers who write Konkani as well as they speak it — in more than one script if possible. Rolling intake, always open, real material from the start. Interns translate for live engagements immediately: state-facing documents into Devanagari, community-facing pages into Roman-script Konkani, and Konkani source material back into clean English for strategist use. A named mentor marks up every draft, and the dual-script craft this desk trains — one language, two writing systems, zero grammar drift between them — is rare enough to build a career on. Eligibility, skills, and the selection process follow in full. ## 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 engagement documents between English and Konkani — state-facing material rendered in Devanagari, community-facing pages in the Roman script its readers grew up with - Keep grammar identical while script switches: the same sentence built twice, once per writing system, with the discipline to let neither drift - Convert Goan source material — press clips, community bulletins, tiatr-adjacent writing — into strategist-grade English summaries - Build the dual-script Konkani termbase: one term, two spellings, one meaning, recorded so the whole desk stays aligned - Run QA passes that catch the classic dual-script failure — right words, wrong readership — before senior review does - Localize campaign material for Goan and Canara audiences distinctly, flagging constructions that read translated rather than written - Absorb weekly markup reviews and re-apply corrections until the fix holds under deadline pressure - Research the Portuguese loan layer when it decides meaning, treating it as Goan Konkani’s signature rather than a contamination ## Skills - Native-grade written Konkani in Devanagari - Roman-script Konkani production for community readerships - English rendering that reads drafted, not converted - Grammar steadiness across script switches - Script-judgment: audience mapped to page before drafting begins - Translation memory discipline with logged self-review - Termbase building with dual-spelling consistency - Localization instinct for Goan versus Canara usage - Portuguese-loanword handling in modern context - Editorial research on community media conventions - Delivery reliability across mixed-script queues - Care with NDA-bound engagement files ## Tools - Trados-class CAT workspace with dual-script Konkani memories - Shared termbase keyed to script and readership - Reference corpora spanning Devanagari and Roman-script Konkani - Post-editing workflow for machine-assist drafts - Goan press and community-publication archives ## Questions and answers ### What does a Konkani Translator intern do at CryptoMize? You translate live engagement documents in both directions and both scripts — Devanagari for official contexts, Roman for community readers — plus digest Konkani source material into English for the strategy desk. ### What is the eligibility for the Konkani Translator Internship? Native-grade written Konkani in at least one script, willingness to reach professional standard in the second, and strong English. Freshers apply directly; the screening sample decides. ### Do I need both Devanagari and Roman-script Konkani? One native script is the entry bar, and the program trains the other — because this desk’s signature deliverable is the same document held to identical grammar across two writing systems. ### How is this desk different from the Konkan Translator Internship? This bench works the Goa-official standard with its dual-script, Portuguese-layered profile; the Konkan desk handles the Maharashtrian seaboard, where spoken-source material dominates. Same family, two distinct trainings. ### Will I get Konkani language training during the internship? Craft training, yes — termbase method, script-judgment, localization discipline. The language itself is what you arrive with; six months is for turning fluency into professional output. ### Is the Konkani Translator Internship paid? Stipend terms open at screening and are built on proven skill, engagement classification, urgency, and track record — we keep numbers out of the listing deliberately. ### What certification does the program grant? Completion after six months at our New Delhi headquarters brings certification, plus a dual-script reviewed portfolio — the asset translation desks ask to see. ### What is the selection process? Brief application, a two-direction sample with one passage per script, and a mentor interview on your rendering choices. The cycle usually closes within two weeks.
