The position

The studio is currently hiring for a Localization Coordinator to work on our open world sandbox multiplayer games to cover a one-year-long parental leave, starting November 2021.

This includes internationalization, multilingual text database handling, coaching on best practices and evangelizing game localization, supporting your internal teams as well as our external translators and LQA teams, both linguistically and technically.

We are looking for a colleague who enjoys authentic communication and clear structure, and who is driven, quality-oriented and able to manage and track their workload. A self-organized person who likes to learn new things, keep processes up to date, and who enjoys collaborating with the project teams and fellow Localization Coordinators.

• Handle and triage questions between translators, LQA testers and Dev team.
• Manage and upkeep source and target language texts in our string database.
• Be a champion for internationalization, culturalization and localization to ensure any cultural and technical localization issues are caught early.
• Actively participate in the continuous work on refining existing pipelines and processes for localization tools, workflows and middleware.

• Experience of project management and localization, either in games or comparable media production.
• Experience with CAT tools, text management software and/or LQA experience.
• Experience in translation, localization and/or linguistics.
• Experience in copytext editing, proofreading and/or subtitling.
