About The Role
As Localization QA Game Tester, you will work within our Localization Quality Assurance team and be the very first person to see the localized game in its entirety – translated text, images and the rest of the user interface collectively. You’ll get to experience the project in the way it will be consumed by the end users. You will work in a multilingual project team ensuring that the game is free from grammatical errors, cultural inconsistencies and ultimately ensuring that the game is accurately localized into the target language.
Key Responsibilities

Log details of errors and issues, providing improvement suggestions. Ensure accurate translation within context and maintain consistency in terminology and imagery. Identify missing or incorrect content and ensure proper display/format of dates, calendars, and characters. 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. As an LQA Game Tester, you will be working on top gaming titles for some of the world’s leading publishers.
