Welocalize combines AI, automation, and human expertise to support enterprises in more than 300 languages, enabling accurate, culturally aligned, and compliant multilingual content at scale. About the Role * Welocalize is expanding its network of accessibility testers to validate the language-specific accessibility of localized digital content: web pages, applications, and documents. * You will serve as a native-language expert reviewer, confirming that accessibility elements not only survive translation but are accurate, understandable, and functional in the target language. * This role requires fluency in the target language, hands-on experience with assistive technology in that language, and familiarity with Digital Accessibility standards and guidelines such as PDF/UA, WCAG 2.1 & 2.2, and EN 301 549 to complement accessibility testing done internally. * Work is assigned on a project basis. You will receive a defined scope, a testing checklist, and access credentials. Findings are reported in a structured defect log and specific bug tracking system. What You Will Do The actual scope will vary by assignment, but the general extent of this role is outlined below. * Language Validation: Confirm correct language codes in HTML and PDF metadata, and identify mixed-language content missing proper declarations. * In-Language Screen Reader Testing: Using native-language screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack, or Narrator), review translated accessible text — including hidden elements, tooltips, error messages, alt text, and UI labels — for accuracy, natural phrasing, and clarity when read aloud. * Multimedia Accessibility Review: Evaluate captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions for accuracy, synchronization, and natural language, and confirm multimedia controls are properly labeled in the target language. * Defect Reporting: Log findings with WCAG/PDF-UA references, supporting screenshots or recordings, and severity classifications; participate in review calls with the QA Lead as needed. What We Are Looking For Required * Native or near-native fluency in German; you are the authoritative voice on whether translated content reads naturally and is understandable. * Demonstrated hands-on experience testing digital content with assistive technology/AT. * Working knowledge of WCAG 2.1 & 2.2 AA and EN 301 549. * Ability to evaluate content from a native-speaker accessibility perspective — not just technical compliance, but real-world usability for screen reader users who speak the language. * Reliable access to relevant devices and operating systems to replicate real-world usage in the target locale. Nice to have * Strong written communication skills in English for defect reporting and general communications. * Experience with PDF accessibility testing using PAC 3 or Adobe Acrobat Pro Accessibility Checker. * Familiarity with internationalization, localization, and translation workflows; understanding of how accessibility elements can be affected during format conversion. * Personal use of assistive technology. Tools and Environment * Welocalize provides access credentials and a structured test plan per engagement. Testers are expected to supply their own device and assistive technology setup appropriate to the target locale. * Commonly used tools in this role include: Screen readers: JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), TalkBack (Android), Narrator (Windows) * Browser/screen reader pairings aligned to the target locale’s most common usage patterns * Caption and transcript review: native video players, .srt/.vtt file review * PDF accessibility: PAC 3, Adobe Acrobat Pro (provided where required) * Defect logging: Jira bug tracking system is most frequently used What to Expect * Assignments are project-based with clear scope documents, test checklists, and agreed turnaround timelines provided before work begins. * Scope for each engagement will specify the exact language, content type, pages or documents in scope, and priority areas. * You will not be expected to remediate or fix issues; your role is testing and reporting. * Welocalize values feedback: if checklist items are unclear or a finding falls outside the defined scope, flag it and we will address it.
