Opportunity description

UN Women announces an online volunteer opportunity to translate its communication materials from Arabic to English. UN Women Jordan regularly produces a range of communications materials, including news articles, social media posts, program updates, and advocacy stories in both Arabic and English, so high-quality translation is essential to ensure their wide reach and visibility to local and international audiences. Volunteers will gain practical experience translating for a UN agency, gain a deeper understanding of gender-sensitive language, and enhance their bilingual editing and communication skills. They will also gain experience in storytelling and advocacy work in international development.

Duties & responsibilities

The ten online volunteers will be divided into two groups to undertake the following tasks:
  • Translation Group (8 volunteers):
    • Translate written content from Arabic to English and vice versa.
  • Proofreading Group (2 volunteers):
    • Editing and refining translated materials to ensure clarity and fluency.
    • Ensuring the use of gender-sensitive and context-appropriate terminology.
    • Maintaining accuracy, consistency, and compliance with UN Women's editorial standards.
Final outputs from this opportunity: 4 documents translated; 2 volunteers per document.

Eligibility criteria

You must have:

  • Previous experience in translation and editing, preferably in a development or UN context.
  • Strong attention to detail and nuance, particularly with regard to gender-related terminology.
  • Ability to meet deadlines and respond to feedback.
  • Fluency in Arabic.
  • Fluency in English.

Note: The United Nations does not charge any fees for applications, processing, training, interviews, testing, or any other fees related to the application or recruitment process. If you receive a request for an application fee, please disregard it. Furthermore, please be aware that logos, names, and addresses are easily copied and reproduced.
