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. Roles this fits Common backgrounds: Malay Linguist, Bilingual Reviewer, Localization Specialist. What we look for
• Native or near-native fluency in Malay.




• A feel for affixes and for formal versus colloquial usage.
• Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
