Here’s what our interns say about us

Iván
English-Spanish

During my internship, I enjoyed working with several nice PMs that helped me to get in the translation mood right away. They showed me how a localization studio works with real translation projects from the very beginning. I personally found challenging some of the projects in which I didn’t have all the context and had to improvise and let my creativity fly. That’s the thing I like the most.

Grégoire
English-French

If you wish to get in the video game industry as a translator, Inlingo’s internship program is a great point of entry into localization! These professionals will help you as a student, by giving you feedback and advise you on how to improve, and trust you as a translator, by asking your help for actual, large-scale, projects.

Dorian
English-French

There is no better way to learn than to translate actual projects, and Inlingo taught me that. I got trained through translations of actual text, interacted with an actual project manager, and made actual mistakes. I got precise, clear explanations of what was wrong, of how to improve and become an actual professional translator.

Taisuke
English-Japanese

Through this internship, I could improve my overall ability of video game localization. The most helpful thing was comments from a reviewer. All the editors and PMs are so friendly that you can ask whatever you want to know. If you are still on the fence about joining this program, just participate in it!

Waiting for you to join our internship!
