Opportunity Overview
Bixal supports a large, federally funded public information and communications program that serves families and professionals across the country. The program's digital ecosystem includes a high-traffic public website, mobile applications, an online professional community, and a customer support center, reaching millions of visitors each year. A significant share of the audience is Spanish-speaking, and the program is committed to delivering accurate, high-quality, and culturally responsive information in both English and Spanish across every channel.
Bixal is seeking a detail-oriented, culturally fluent Spanish Content Translator to support this program. This role is central to ensuring Spanish-speaking users receive the same high-quality, accurate, and accessible information as English-speaking users. This is a part-time position at 50% allocation, ideal for an experienced translator who wants steady, meaningful work supporting a high-visibility public-facing platform.
As a 1099 independent contractor, you will operate independently, provide your own tools, set your own hours, and invoice Bixal for completed work.
Compensation
The compensation for this role is $50 an hour. We make compensation decisions thoughtfully, considering your experience, the skills you bring, and our commitment to internal equity. Fairness and transparency are core to how we operate.
Key Responsibilities
Produce high-quality Spanish translations of website content, including web pages, PDFs, video captions/subtitles, and learning modules, working within a translation management platform.
Maintain and continuously improve a glossary of terms to ensure consistent terminology and translation quality across all program digital properties.
Provide live simultaneous Spanish interpretation for webinars and webcasts throughout the year, with audiences ranging from the hundreds to several thousand participants.
Translate and review Spanish-language content for email campaigns, social media, and the customer service center's public-facing responses and knowledge base.
Partner with the UX research team to support usability testing, interviews, and surveys with Spanish-speaking users, ensuring translated materials are tested for clarity and cultural relevance.
Review translated content for compliance with plain-language standards and accessibility requirements.
Collaborate with content strategists, designers, and engineers to ensure translated materials are published accurately and on schedule.

Prior experience providing live/simultaneous interpretation for webinars, conferences, or public events.
Strong writing skills with close attention to accuracy, tone, and cultural nuance.

Tips for Your Remote Translator Job Search
Build a portfolio around your language pair
Remote employers can't observe you working, so your portfolio does the talking. Compile three to five completed translation samples in your language pair and subject area, such as legal contracts, clinical summaries, or software UI strings, and make them easy to share during the application process.
Demonstrate async communication skills upfront
Remote translator roles run on written handoffs and asynchronous feedback loops. Your cover letter and any written screening responses should be tight, precise, and free of ambiguity, because remote hiring managers treat them as a direct preview of how you'll communicate on the job.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote translator openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search by language pair or industry to find roles that match your background, then apply directly to the ones that fit before postings close.
Show fluency with CAT and TM tools
Remote translation teams run on computer-assisted translation tools like SDL Trados, memoQ, and Phrase. Call out the specific tools you've used in your resume and confirm your proficiency level, since remote employers rarely have time to train new hires on core workflow software.
Remote Translator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote translator job?
Target companies that already run distributed teams, such as remote-first technology firms, international legal services providers, and healthcare organizations with multilingual patient populations. Remote employers screen for fluency in at least two languages, familiarity with CAT tools like SDL Trados or memoQ, and demonstrated ability to manage deadlines without in-person oversight. Strong written communication and a portfolio of completed translations give you a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote translators?
Remote translator roles are posted by Prisma International, Huri Translations, and Bixal and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These include remote-first firms, distributed legal and healthcare organizations, and global technology companies that need translators embedded in content, compliance, or customer experience teams.
Can you get a remote translator job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level translator roles are harder to land because you're expected to manage assignments independently from day one. Remote-first localization agencies and content platforms are the most accessible starting points. Showing completed volunteer translations, a self-built portfolio in your language pair, or certification from a recognized program can open doors when professional credits are thin.
Do you need a degree for remote translator jobs?
Not always. Remote employers weigh demonstrated fluency, subject-matter knowledge, and a portfolio of real work heavily alongside any formal credential. Specialized expertise in legal, medical, or technical fields can matter more than the degree itself. A translation certification from a recognized professional association strengthens your application when you don't hold a translation or linguistics degree.
