Casual Mobile Game Localization English to Japanese
Budget: €6 – €12 EUR
Job Description:
We are now making a casual mobile game. We need a localization specialist to help us translate our English game into Japanese. You’re required to localize our game texts into colloquial and daily languages. You’re expected to identify content that may require localization to better suit the local culture and allow native players to clearly understand the game content. We'll provide a link to the game on Google Play and you can download and play it to get familiar with the context. You can contact us for clarification if you need more context for certain strings.
Job Requirements:
- Native proficiency in the target language with exceptional grammar skills. (Local residents are preferred.)
- Excellent written and spoken English communication skills.
- Experience in mobile/video game localization and familiarity with gaming language.
- Game players (optional but preferred).
Translation Requirements:
- Part of the project will be translating item names which requires patience and attention to detail.
- You’ll be given an excel with game UI to translate. Please make sure your work is free of grammar or spelling mistakes before submission.
- The translation should use verbal vocabulary and avoid uncommon words.
- When the literal translation is not applied to local culture, free translation is acceptable but make sure the idea you are trying to express is the same.
- When both the localized translation and its English source make sense in the target culture, the translator is expected to leverage which one is more acceptable to the target players. We encourage you to localize all words except those frequently used words, such as OK. If you can’t decide, you can leave both translations in separate cells.
- There will be character cap for certain UI strings. Please pay attention to the specific requirements in the file.
- Please make sure the terms are translated consistently.
- Do not use words that are related to racism, obscenity, pornography, gambling, violence, murder, terror, abetment, etc. Please remember that the rating of this game is 3+, which means the content should be suitable for people over 3 years old.
