Multilingual AI content systems. I build brand-voice AI writing systems that produce native-quality content in English, French, German, and Spanish — and because I'm native or bilingual in all four, I can verify the output instead of hoping it's right.
Top Rated on Upwork · 100% Job Success · 17 jobs · 4,336 hours logged.
Most companies entering a new language market have two bad options: hire four native writers and manage four voices, or machine-translate and sound like a form letter. I build the third one.
WHAT I BUILD
Multilingual brand-voice AI systems — A custom Claude or GPT writing system trained on your brand voice, your past work, your terminology, and your compliance rules, configured to write natively in each of your markets rather than translate into them. No code, no dev team, running in your browser inside two weeks.
Localization that keeps the voice — Existing English content rebuilt in French, German, or Spanish so it reads as though it was written there. Websites, campaigns, email sequences, product copy, onboarding flows, help centres.
Content systems and editorial operations — Editorial calendars, brand voice guides, terminology glossaries, SEO briefs, and LinkedIn or Instagram content engines. Six years of this across finance, healthcare, design, and tech.
Prompt systems and content automation — Prompt libraries, SOPs, and internal guidelines so your team gets consistent output from AI instead of a different result every time. I also build the workflow automation around it, in n8n, Make (Integromat) or Zapier, so content moves from brief to draft to localized to published without manual handoffs. I've built the prompt system for an HR AI tool and worked as a dedicated prompt editor.
WHY THE LANGUAGES MATTER MORE THAN THEY SOUND
English, French, German, Spanish, and Yoruba — native or bilingual. Basic Portuguese. BA in European Languages and Integration Studies, University of Lagos.
Most AI localization vendors cannot read their own output. They ship it, and the client finds out from a customer six weeks later. Everything I hand over in French, German, or Spanish has been read by someone who actually speaks it — which is me, before it reaches you.
A GOOD FIT IF YOU
Are a SaaS or brand expanding into a second or third language market. Are entering Francophone Africa or LATAM. Need one person instead of four native writers. Adopted AI for content, got generic output, and need it to sound like you again. Have a glossary nobody follows and a brand voice nobody can define.
NOT A FIT IF YOU need certified or sworn legal translation, model fine-tuning, or ML engineering. I'll tell you that on the first message rather than three weeks in.
HOW TO START
Send me (1) what you're building, (2) which markets and languages, and (3) a rough timeline. You'll get either a fixed-price scope or a free 20-minute fit call, within 24 hours.
