Reporting to the Localization DevTest Lead and working in close collaboration with the Localization Project Manager, the Localization DevTester checks the proper implementation of internationalization requirements by following the production flow towards reaching a proper test build. He/she will act as guidance for the Localization QC team, using the acquired game knowledge to answer questions and better synthetize the game flow.
The Localization DevTester will check the game several times and report localization bugs prior to delivering the builds further to the QC department according to predefined guidelines, assuring that the version is as clean as possible of integration issues before entering the linguistic test phase.

Localization is the adaptation of a product to a target culture and market. Basically, it consists in managing the translation & adaptation, audios, integration and linguistic quality assurance of a product from a source language, usually English, to several destination languages (French, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Nordic languages, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc).

Internationalization refers to the ensemble of actions (technical, process wise or linguistic/content wise) taken so that a product can actually be localized, and, even more, that it can be localized easily, quickly and cheaply.
