• AI Translation Communications Review Work Group Application

  • Thank you for applying to serve on SIA's new Communications Review Work Group! Please fill out the fields below and submit your application by Friday, October 23, 2026.

    If you have any questions, please contact Associate Senior Director of Global Marketing, Kamali Brooks: kamali@soroptimist.org.

  • About this work group:

    As we recently shared, SIA is now using artificial intelligence (AI) to translate our communications. We invite members with strong language skills and cultural expertise to apply for our new Communications Review Work Group. 

    Selected members will partner with SIA staff and fellow Soroptimists to refine our translation process and strengthen the messages we share across the federation. 

    A thoughtful approach to AI translation 
    Effective communication takes more than translating words. Together, we can help ensure our messages convey their intended meaning, reflect SIA’s tone and brand voice, and are appropriate for the cultures and communities receiving them. 

    Work group members will help: 

    • Refine translated glossary terms to reflect SIA’s terminology and tone. 
    • Review English originals alongside translations of newsletters, website content, emails and announcements, providing culturally and contextually appropriate wording. 
    • Provide feedback to improve our translation tools and review process. 

    Who should apply 
    Members must be fluent in English and at least one of our federation languages: Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, or Korean, with a strong understanding of the relevant cultural context. A deep familiarity with specialized terminology—such as legal, technical or financial language—is strongly preferred.

    Participants will receive onboarding and guidance. The group is expected to serve for at least one year up to the end of the biennium. 

    The application deadline is October 23. After the deadline, SIA will review applications and select members whose skills and experience align with the group’s needs.

    Thank you for helping us strengthen the way we connect across our languages and cultures!

  • Traditional Chinese:

    2027年「實現妳的夢想獎」现已開放申請!如果您認識一位接受家庭經濟支持、並就讀學位課程的女性,请在11月15日前代她提出申請。讓我們一起幫助她实現夢想。

  • Spanish (Latin American):

    ¡Ya está abierta la convocatoria para los Premios Vive Tu Sueño 2027! Si conoce a una mujer que recibe apoyo económico de su familia y que está inscrita en un programa de licenciatura, presente la solicitud en su nombre antes de noviembre 15. Juntos, podemos ayudarla a alcanzar sus sueños.

    As inscrições para o Prêmios Viva o Seu Sonho 2027 estão abertas! Se você conhece uma mulher que recebe apoio financeiro da família e está matriculada em um curso de graduação, faça a inscrição em nome dela até novembro 15. Juntos, podemos ajudá-la a realizar seus sonhos.

  • Examples:

    English: We hope to see you there. Japanese: 当日は必ずご出席ください。

    » Model comment: The Japanese says "Please be sure to attend," which sounds like a requirement. The English is a warm invitation, and the translation should keep that.

      

    English: Please bring a reusable water bottle and a light jacket. Korean: 재사용 가능한 물병을 지참해 주시기 바랍니다.

    » Model comment: The Korean leaves out "a light jacket." It should ask people to bring both items.
