Japanese Language Localisation QA

2 weeks ago

Croydon, United Kingdom Testronic Labs Full time

**About the role**:
We know that one of the most annoying things to come across in a video game is a completely senseless translation: it can ruin the whole experience We bet that you've managed to spot lots of linguistics issues while playing a video game.

The good news is that we have a whole team that works tirelessly on fixing these issues and making the experience the best possible.

What is even better is the fact that we're looking for someone with a deep passion for both games and linguistic correctness. We bet that this is YOU

Here, at Testronic, we help to improve the quality of text within games. If you have a keen eye for detail, are comfortable working in your own language, and want to make an impact in the gaming industry - you should definitely apply.
**What you would do**:

- Make sure that the game is free from any spelling, or grammatical errors
- Assess cultural appropriateness of the game
- Confirm that the text, images and audio correspond with each other
- Review the tone and style of the text

- Make sure that text is not cut or misplaced
