# Portuguese Translator Internship at CryptoMize A Portuguese translator at CryptoMize converts written material between Portuguese and English across two living standards — the European norm running from Lisbon to lusophone Africa, and the Brazilian norm of the language's largest audience — for engagements across the 18-country footprint, Goa's Indo-Portuguese heritage included. The defining skill is standard-switching: knowing which Portuguese a reader reads in, and staying inside it. Apply now for the Portuguese Translator Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize — a six-month certified program, rolling intake, for candidates with strong Portuguese and English who want to work the language as it is actually written across four continents. Interns translate live material from Month 1: campaign copy for Brazil-facing accounts, correspondence for European readership, and Goa-heritage documentation that Indian hands understand best. A senior translator marks every segment, and the curriculum treats the two standards as separate instruments you will learn to hold. Freshers are welcome — the screening translation decides. Eligibility and 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 material between Portuguese and English — campaign copy, correspondence, market summaries — holding the target standard consistently within each assignment - Learn standard-switching as a discipline: Brazilian vocabulary and address for one audience, European norms and spellings for another, with the choice recorded per document - Apply the Orthographic Agreement\'s rules where they bind and flag the pre-Agreement spellings that persist in older source text - Convert between the two Portuguesees when a deliverable must be re-based — a Brazilian draft re-homed for a Lisbon or Maputo reader, handled as real work with real review - Work Goa-heritage documents where Indo-Portuguese usage and Indian context meet, flagging what needs annotation for non-Indian reviewers - Run QA passes on engine-assisted segments, catching the mixed-standard output engines produce when they cannot tell Lisbon from São Paulo - Build the desk termbase in both standards — political, reputational, and market vocabulary with per-standard rulings ## Skills - Strong Portuguese across European and Brazilian standards - English source analysis at professional depth - Standard-switching judgement — which Portuguese, held consistently - Orthographic Agreement literacy - Vocabulary divergence mapping (comboio/trem-class pairs) - Address-register choice (o senhor / você) per market - Translation accuracy with documented self-review - QA-pass method for engine-assisted output - Termbase upkeep with per-standard rulings - Goa-heritage and lusophone-Africa context awareness - Parallel-queue deadline reliability - Discretion with engagement material ## Tools - CAT suite of the Smartcat class with dual-standard termbases - Shared glossary platform with per-market rulings - Corpus references for both written standards - Orthographic Agreement reference set ## Questions and answers ### What does a Portuguese Translator intern do at CryptoMize? You translate engagement material between Portuguese and English across markets — Brazil-facing, Portugal-facing, lusophone-Africa — with Goa-heritage documentation in the mix, under senior segment markup throughout. ### Do I need both Brazilian and European Portuguese for eligibility? Full command of one standard plus working familiarity with the other gets you in; the program trains the second to professional depth. Strong English is required, and freshers apply routinely. ### What does a Portuguese converter actually do on this desk? Conversion here means re-basing a document between the two written standards — vocabulary, spelling, and address adjusted for a different country's reader — treated as real translation work with full review, never a mechanical pass. ### Why does a Delhi firm have Portuguese-heritage work? Goa, Daman, and Diu carry four and a half centuries of Portuguese administration in their records and family documentation. Indian translators with heritage command of that material are rare, and the desk exists partly because of them. ### What is the selection process? A short application, a two-direction translation exercise with a standard-choice note, and an interview with the desk lead. Most cycles close within two weeks. ### Is the internship paid? Compensation is discussed during screening and set against demonstrated skill, engagement classification, urgency, and track record. No figures are published. ### How long is the program, and is a certificate provided? Six months at our New Delhi HQ, certificate on completion — plus the reviewed portfolio across markets, which is what the full-time bench actually hires on. ### Are there Portuguese language jobs for freshers after this track? Yes — the bench hires from its intern cohort first, and a translator holding both standards plus Goa-heritage exposure is among the hardest profiles in the market to replace.
