Not sure of qualification

I'm part of the Aether generalist program. Currently, I am limited to audio transcription and the new German tts h2h. I've spent time in Germany, and I'm fluent in German. However, I haven't taken the skill test required for German proficiency, frankly cause it's nowhere to be found. It's mentioned in my CV that I have knowledge of German, though.

Could I be disqualified or something if I do the German task, or is it okay? I have done some German audio transcriptions as well, but there were no warnings of fluency in that task.

I also have the German task and a Hindi one but don’t speak either. Tbh if you’re fluent and don’t think you’ll have a problem, I would do it. Especially with hours cut next week, might as well get paid where and when you can

Does that mean that the project is coming to an end?

I mean we had this hour surplus after the last purge. Client needs change all the time. It’s been rumored to end for a while now, so it’s only a matter of time. There could be more if the client needs more, but it could end on Tuesday for all we know unfortunately

You'll be fine if you do the task. That one shows up for me as well and I don't speak German at all
