An illustration, not an offer. Rates are set per project rather than per country, so nothing here is a published rate for South Africa. Local amounts use a reference rate of 1 USD to 1 USD recorded on 30 August 2026, so treat them as approximate. Actual earnings depend on how much work is open in your languages and how much of it you complete and pass review.
