# Kurdish Translator Internship at CryptoMize A Kurdish translator at CryptoMize works a language with two major written standards at once — Kurmanji in the Hawar Latin alphabet, Sorani in Arabic script. Translating means declaring variety and script per audience before the first sentence, then holding terminology steady across the Kurdistan Region, Kurmanji-speaking communities, and the European diaspora. The Kurdish Translator Internship at CryptoMize is a six-month certified Delhi program for freshers who write Kurdish at native standard — Kurmanji, Sorani, or both — and want to translate material with genuine weight. Rolling intake, always open, live engagements from the opening month. Interns translate between Kurdish and English on real projects: media summaries off the Kurdish-language broadcast ecosystem, community material for diaspora audiences, engagement documents for Kurdistan-facing work. The desk’s signature training is the two-standard discipline — variety declared per audience, script handled correctly in both directions, left-to-right and right-to-left layouts respected in the same week.

You translate real engagement material between Kurdish and English in your primary standard — media summaries, community pages, briefing documents — while training the variety-and-script discipline that defines this desk. ### What is the eligibility for the Kurdish Translator Internship? Native-grade writing in Kurmanji or Sorani, working literacy in the other script, and strong English. Freshers apply directly; the screening translation decides, degrees aside. ### Which Kurdish should I know — Kurmanji or Sorani? Either opens the door; both close interviews. Kurmanji serves communities across Turkey, Syria, and the northwest in the Hawar Latin alphabet, Sorani serves the Kurdistan Region in Arabic script — the desk needs both and trains crossover literacy. ### Is Kurdish one language or several? Professionally, two written standards over related varieties: Kurmanji and Sorani differ in script, orthography, and structure enough that audiences rarely read across — which is exactly why variety selection is the first skill trained here. ### Does the program include Kurdish language training? It trains translation craft on a language you already write — termbase method, script discipline, media digesting — with crossover literacy in the second standard, not first-language instruction. ### Is the Kurdish Translator Internship paid? Stipend terms are settled at screening around proven skill, engagement classification, urgency, and track record — the listing carries no numbers by standing policy. ### What is the duration of the Kurdish program, and does it certify? The desk trains you for six months from New Delhi and certifies at completion — with a reviewed portfolio spanning both scripts if you train in both. ### What is the selection process? Brief application, a two-way translation sample in your primary standard with a variety-choice justification, and a mentor interview. The cycle typically closes in two weeks.
