Mega trendy games localisation house with worldwide clients.
As a linguistic tester it is your task to review new games in their final phase of development, checking the localised screen texts, subtitles and/or audio that's been implemented in the game. The games you will be testing may vary from small web-based PC games to epic games for handhelds (PSP, DS) and next-gen consoles (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii).
As a linguistic tester, what you typically do is test the game for:
* Grammar and spelling - reporting any typos or linguistic errors
in on-screen text and subtitling (if relevant).
* Context - reporting and correcting texts that don't seem to
match with what actually is happening in the game.
* Consistency - reporting and correcting on-screen text and
subtitling (if relevant) that have already been translated differently elsewhere in the game.
* Programming - flagging any missing language elements (menu or
on-screen texts, subtitling, speech files), plus length issues (texts that run off the screen) and propose corrections whenever possible. Of course you never forget your job is to spot linguistic errors and not to debug the programming code.
To apply you must:
*have thorough command of your mother tongue:
Hungarian
Czech
*Previous experience translating games
*Be an avid games player: own multiple consoles and be a real gamer.
*Be immune to stress and not having problems with working long days or during the weekends.
*Have great communicative and social skills.
*Ideally living in Netherlands although not essential
