Assesses AI Malay text and translations for affix use, formality and regional usage, then writes natural alternatives. Suits native Malay speakers with a feel for formal written Malay and everyday colloquial speech.
Overview
Malay trips AI on register: formal written Malay and everyday colloquial speech pull in different directions, and the model blends them awkwardly. It mishandles affixes that change a word entirely and often cannot tell where Malaysian usage parts from Indonesian, which a native speaker sees straight away.
As a Malay Expert, you'll judge and correct AI output in Malay, teaching models to match the register and the region.
What you’ll actually do
- Review translations between English and Malay for meaning, flow, and register.
- Score and rank model output in Malay, catching misused affixes and mismatched formality.
- Write the better version when the model falls short, natural enough to read as native.

Common backgrounds: Malay Linguist, Bilingual Reviewer, Localization Specialist.
