Full Description
Why We Need You
- We’re on the hunt for a native Korean speaker to join our localization crew. You’ll be the human voice that makes our AI-powered imaging and design apps feel effortlessly natural in South Korea — because even the smartest AI needs a real person to catch the subtle stuff and bring the right vibe. If you’re the kind of person who notices a misplaced comma from across the room and gets a kick out of making tech feel truly local, let’s talk.
What You’ll Do
UI Copy Refinement: Proofread and refine AI-translated copy across buttons, dialogs, notifications, settings, and other UI elements to nail accuracy, flow, consistency, and a tone that feels natural for the South Korean market.
In-App Linguistic QA: Run in-app linguistic QA — verify translations display correctly, catch truncation, layout quirks, context slips, and anything that might read as culturally off or awkward in Korean.
Cultural Alignment: Review in-app copy to make sure it aligns with local language habits, user expectations, and cultural norms in South Korea, flagging content that feels unnatural or insensitive.
Marketing Localization: Translate, review, and localize marketing content like promos, App Store listings, push notifications, in-app campaigns, and social media posts so they resonate with South Korean users.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Team up with product, design, and engineering to spot localization issues early and push overall quality higher.
Who You Are
Native Fluency: Native Korean speaker with a rock-solid command of grammar, idiomatic expressions, and cultural intuition in your language.
Hands-On Experience: 1+ year of hands-on localization, UI translation, or linguistic QA experience for apps, software, or websites.
Sharp Detail Orientation: Sharp eye for translation flubs, term inconsistencies, UI truncation, formatting hiccups, and cultural mismatches — you genuinely care about polish and getting every detail right.
UI/UX Awareness: Comfortable with UI/UX fundamentals like character limits, responsive layouts, and how translated text behaves inside different interface components.
Transcreation Skills: Strong copywriting and transcreation skills — you can adapt marketing copy while keeping the brand’s voice, tone, and intent intact.
Nice-to-Haves
- Familiarity with CAT tools and AI-assisted translation workflows.
- Background or strong interest in AI, imaging, or photo editing apps.
