Localization Expert Needed for Video Game Development and Publishing
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
Hello,
We are seeking experienced translators and proofreaders to assist us in localizing our games into multiple languages. As our localization expert, you will work closely with us to ensure that our games and marketing materials are accurately and properly translated for our international users.
We require native speakers for the following languages:
- Thai
- Indonesian
- Korean
- Spanish
- Portuguese
- Japanese
- French
- German
- Russian
- Italian
- Turkish
## Scope of Work
- Translation and/or proofreading of:
- In-game content, text strings, and dialogues.
- Marketing materials, social media posts, taglines, and PV subtitles.
- Assistance in maintaining the game glossary.
- Provide feedback on culturally inappropriate content and suggest possible workarounds.
We will provide source files in Chinese and English.
## How We Will Work
We will work together remotely on tasks that will arise in a variety of cases.
The majority of work will consist of weekly content updates and marketing materials that need to be delivered within the week, with occasional hotfixes that require a shorter delivery cycle. For larger tasks that take more than 2 weeks, we can negotiate a separate contract.
For deliverables, we can exchange Excel/LibreOffice/Google Sheet files via the platform.
Please note that task schedules and file handling may vary for different projects. We can finalize the details in further discussion.
## Requirements
- NATIVE speaker and bilingual translator for localization from Chinese/English into Thai, Indonesian, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, French, German, Russian, Italian, and Turkish.
- Previous experience in video game localization is a plus.
- Familiarity with the gaming industry and gaming terminology is a plus.
- Availability for ongoing projects or regular (weekly) tasks is a plus.
- Capability to handle full-package tasks for a target language is a plus.
- Ability to provide feedback and suggestions to improve the localization process is a plus.
- Knowledge of cultural differences and customs between the source and target languages is a plus.
- You will be working with unreleased contents of our games. We don’t require you to sign NDAs, but please don’t distribute any files we’re working with.
For new candidates, we would like you to work on a sample file so that we can learn your style and expertise.
If you’re interested in working with us or have any questions, please let us know.
