Main Responsibilities
• Translate and localize player-facing functional game content: UI, menus, systems, tutorials, quests, combat/skill descriptions, status effects, items, equipment, dungeon mechanics, events and rules.
• Maintain accurate terminology for combat attributes, gameplay effects, progression, buildings, resources, troops, guilds/alliances and monetization or live-service features.
• Produce concise, natural and unambiguous text that works in real gameplay; follow glossaries, style guides, PM notes, length limits, tags, placeholders and formatting specifications.
• Run language and terminology QA; flag source ambiguities, gameplay-logic conflicts and missing context; collaborate with PMs and reviewers to resolve issues on schedule.
Required Qualifications
• Native speaker of Latin American Spanish; at least 3 years of professional translation/localization experience; advanced English comprehension for complex game content.
• Strong understanding of RPG/open-world/SLG gameplay systems, UI conventions, combat effects, skill logic, item and quest text; accurate and player-friendly writing skills.
• Practical experience with memoQ, Phrase, Trados, Crowdin or another CAT/TMS; strong proofreading, consistency checking, deadline and communication skills.
Language-Specific Focus (ES-419)
• Demonstrated ability to deliver neutral, region-appropriate Latin American Spanish instead of Spain-specific wording, clear combat language, consistent forms of address and number/format conventions.
Preferred Experience
Prior localization of RPG, action, strategy or live-service titles; experience with termbases, style guides, QA reports, character/space restrictions and reviewer feedback; interest in ongoing work.
