Localization Specialist Intern

Jun 2026 - Aug 2026

  • Under supervision, maintained a terminology glossary and translation memory, reviewed locale-specific screenshots for truncation and formatting errors, and reconciled reviewer changes before the localized release.
  • The team translated product text and dialogue from source context, character intent, and in-product behavior rather than isolated strings; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team preserved meaning and user action across the localized experience; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
  • The team maintained terminology decisions with definitions, context examples, prohibited variants, and review owners; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team reduced inconsistent wording across product, marketing, support, and voice scripts; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
  • Under supervision, designed localized copywriting for a brand-marketing campaign using market research, tested target-audience comprehension and completed the translation review before the campaign deadline.
  • Under supervision, owned a localization review using terminology management and brand-voice references, resolved culturally misleading translation and completed quality-assurance checks before delivery.
  • Under supervision, published audience-specific editing guidance using tracked review comments, reduced repeated terminology corrections by 31% and completed reporting before the agreed deadlines.

Selected project

Localization Specialist — independent case study

Intern project team member

Sep 2025 - May 2026

  • In a mentor-reviewed simulation, translated product text and dialogue from source context, character intent, and in-product behavior rather than isolated strings; preserved meaning and user action across the localized experience.
  • As a second supervised exercise, maintained terminology decisions with definitions, context examples, prohibited variants, and review owners; reduced inconsistent wording across product, marketing, support, and voice scripts.
  • Under supervision, the team reviewed cultural, legal, and usability risks with regional specialists and documented approved adaptations; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review
  • Prepared an independent editorial brief using public sources, separating verified statements, interpretation and missing information; linked draft passages to source notes and checked quotation context.
  • Produced a publication-ready draft with a source list, rights notes and a correction log; checked the final headline and excerpts against the full material so the short version did not overstate the evidence.
  • Owned the independent publication check using source-linked transcripts, resolved a misleading shortened quotation and completed the release package with rights and correction notes.
