A day in the life

• We’re seeking a Japanese Localization Proofreader to review and refine English→ Japanese translations for the copy within our applicant-facing landing page + admissions form, and technical training program copy, ensuring they are accurate, idiomatic, concise, consistent with our glossary/style guide, and culturally natural for Japanese users; you’ll proofread copy, correct grammar and tone, flag source-string issues, and clearly track edits/comments in our localization workflow, delivering polished copy that feels native rather than translated.
• Accurately assess the fluency and naturalness of Japanese language output (both written and, where applicable, spoken), distinguishing between literal correctness and truly native, context-appropriate expression.
