I finally did it... I got onto a localization project! (Celebration!)

[LostZombie]

I've finally made it onto an official unofficial localization project! I wanted to just share how much this means to me. I've worked very hard for my degree and posted in tons of different places, lots of different resumes and cover letters. Localization is *just* what I dreamed it to be. Thanks to gbatemp, i've started on my first unofficial job to localize this game of my favorite series, and I couldn't be happier!

Awesome congrats, what languages are you working with? What genre of game?

I'm working with Japanese! I'm not translating, just localizing. So the game has largely been translated already, I make the direct Japanese flow a bit better by implementing slang, jokes, or story arcs and character development in a way that would make sense in english! I know less than an elementary amount of Japanese, so I'm not quite cut out for translating hahah. However, I can use my limited culture and language knowledge to cross check with the original content to clarify regional differences and make it flow Thank you so much for the congrats!

Do you know the project or is that something that's being hidden for now?

Either way congrats!
