Junior Writer: Spanish Proofreading & AI Localization (Latam)

1. Proofread and Refine AI-Adapted Scripts

• Review AI-generated Spanish scripts for grammar, spelling, punctuation, accents, sentence structure, and register.

• Catch mistranslations, literal or awkward phrasing, missing context, dropped lines, and tonal inconsistencies against the English source.

• Make sure the adaptation keeps the meaning, tone, emotion, and narrative intent of the original.

• Check that dialogue sounds natural for each character and situation, and that the Spanish reads fluently rather than like a translation.

• Align every script with Pocket FM's editorial standards and deliver clean, production-ready drafts.

2. Make Scripts AI-Voice Friendly

• Format scripts correctly for the AI voice pipeline, with clear speaker labels, clean dialogue and narration separation, and no stray symbols or formatting errors.

• Check that emotion tags are present, accurate, and matched to the scene and character, wherever they are required.

• Use punctuation, sentence length, and rhythm that guide AI voices toward natural pacing and delivery.

• Rewrite anything an AI voice is likely to mispronounce or misread, such as numbers, dates, abbreviations, symbols, foreign words, and unusual names.

• Flag lines that are too long, too dense, or hard to perform so they can be reworked before production.

3. Build Localization Sheets and Keep Them Consistent

• Prepare localization sheets and concept notes that adapt names, locations, entities, and cultural references from English-language settings to Spanish-speaking contexts.

• Make sure localization choices are culturally appropriate, audience-friendly, and applied consistently across every episode.

• Flag references, idioms, humor, or situations that may confuse or fall flat with Spanish-speaking listeners, and suggest alternatives.

4. Protect Story Continuity

• Keep character names, relationships, places, terminology, and recurring story elements consistent across episodes.

• Make sure the adapted episodes follow the original storyline, character arcs, emotional beats, and episode flow.

• Track plot details and tone across a series so nothing drifts from one episode to the next.

5. Deliver Quality at Scale

• Balance speed and accuracy in a high-volume workflow, keeping your attention to detail sharp on repetitive review work.

• Make sure every final submission is accurate, consistent, localized, and ready for the next production stage.

6. Act on Feedback and Improve the Process

• Revise scripts based on feedback from Senior Writers, editorial and production teams, and listener comments, and apply those lessons to future scripts.

• Document recurring AI issues in translation, tone, formatting, or storytelling, and share them with the team with suggested fixes.

• Review published episodes and user comments to see how adaptations land with listeners, and give structured feedback.

• Basic understanding of storytelling, such as narrative structure, character, and pacing

• Ability to read user feedback and spot patterns

Who Thrives Here

You enjoy working with language at the sentence level. You catch the small things, like a stiff phrase, a wrong accent, or a line an AI voice will stumble over, and you care whether a story sounds right to a listener. You stay focused through large volumes of review and treat feedback as a way to get better.

Why It Matters

AI helps us adapt faster, but human review is what makes a localized story feel natural, emotional, and relevant. Your work directly shapes the listening experience of audiences.
