Volunteer Translator for Islamic content

About Us

Islam Answers is a collection of questions and answers about Islam. We aim to answer the most common and controversial questions that people of other faiths have about Islam. After researching the questions with trending Google searches, we have created this website to provide clear answers from reliable sources, backed by evidence from the Quran and sunnah (the words, actions and teachings of prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him).

Our aim is to make these answers available in as many languages as possible, in order to reach the highest number of people interested to learn more about Islam. Our website is constantly growing in terms of the number of questions we answer, as well as the number of languages we translate them into.

We are not affiliated with any organisation, nor are we funded by any organisation. We are a group of volunteers who believe that the world needs to know more about Islam, and we are doing our part to make that happen.

About the Opportunity

Islam Answers is looking for translators who can commit around 1 hour per week to translating and reviewing islamic content from English into another language you speak. You will not be expected to be a certified translator, however you should have an excellent command of another language (C1/C2 on the European language proficiency scale).

You will be given access to our Lokalise platform, which uses AI-generated translation from English into your language. Your role will be to review the translation and make edits, as necessary. You will not be responsible for verifying and researching information, but rather for ensuring that the translation is accurate and clear.

To be successful in this role, you should:
• Be a practising Sunni Muslim
• Support the mission of Islam and have a passion for preaching its teachings and beliefs
• Have excellent communication skills (verbal, reading and writing) in English and another language
• Commit around 1 hour/week, and be able to self-manage your work effectively
• Be able to work cooperatively, harmoniously and flexibly as part of a team
• Be a fast learner (you will be given training on how to use the Lokalise platform)
