What you’d be doing in this role

We are looking for a skilled and experienced native/fluent French localisation reviewer to review translated templates, including posters, invitations, social media graphics, presentations, print materials, and more, created using Canva’s design tool. The goal will be to localise content from English to French (fr-FR & fr-CA) by adjusting language and updating design to be more in line with the French and French Canadian market. You will review templates by providing language feedback and implementing language and design fixes on the following areas:

• Spell check and grammar
• Language quality and flow (grammar, punctuation, spelling errors/typos, cohesiveness, etc.)
• Adherence to guidelines and brand tone of voice
• Design issues (improper line breaks in text, inappropriate/incorrect/controversial imagery, font replacement, etc.)
• Redesigning as necessary

You're probably a match if

• You are fluent in French (fr-FR & fr-CA), with knowledge of common slang and unique phrases used in France and Canada. Please do not apply if you are not fluent in these two languages.
• You have experience in content localisation, particularly in design and copy.
• You have the ability to learn internal design and localisation tools quickly, and get things done in a timely manner.
• You have a keen understanding of the French (France & Canada) market, including its history, trends, news, and social and political culture.
• You have the ability to read and follow strict guidelines, and communicate coherently and properly.
• You have a strong foundation and stylistic approach to design, with a keen understanding of visual, cultural, and popular trends, especially in France and Canada.
• You have an understanding of French culture, trends, news, controversies, history, conflict, and can stay up-to-date with the local scene to create templates with appropriate and non-discriminatory, non-sensitive content.
• You have an understanding of French cultural sensitivities to ensure that content is appropriate for the market, both from a social and legal perspective.
