  • Write reports on errors and bugs found and perform ad hoc translation. 
  • Oversee the quality of your work, collaborate with the team, and contribute to the overall success of projects. 

Our Localization QA team conducts language checks on upcoming games across a variety of cutting-edge platforms, including PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation VR2, and various mobile and tablet devices.
