Job description

Job Title

Internationalization (i18n) & Localization (l10n) QA Engineer Job Type

Full-time/OSP Role Summary

We are seeking a detail-oriented I18N and l10n QA Tester with extensive experience testing software across diverse physical hardware and mobile devices. In this role, you will be responsible for executing end-to-end functional, usability, and cross-device testing across iOS, Android, web browsers, and specialized hardware. You will collaborate closely with product managers and development teams to ensure seamless performance, UI consistency, and high quality across all supported platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Device & Hardware Testing: Conduct rigorous testing across multiple physical devices (iOS, Android tablets/phones, desktops, and Smart Home and Health Devices) to verify functionality, responsiveness, and UI layouts.
• Test Execution & Coverage: Develop, update, and execute comprehensive test plans, functional test cases, and exploratory test scenarios for new features and bug fixes.
• Compatibility Testing: Test applications across varying system versions, screen resolutions and hardware specs to identify device-specific issues.
• Defect Management: Identify, reproduce, and document detailed bug reports using tracking tools (Jira, Azure DevOps, Buganizer), including logs, steps to reproduce, screenshots, and video recordings.
• Regression & Sanity Testing: Perform thorough regression cycles prior to production releases to ensure core functionality remains stable.
• Internationalization (i18n) Testing: Validate that application architecture supports multi-locale enablement without code modification (e.g., Unicode/UTF-8 support, string externalization, hardcoded string detection, bi- directional text like RTL, variable expansion, and locale-aware sorting/filtering).
• Localization (l10n) Testing: Verify translated UI elements across multiple languages for accuracy, context, and formatting compliance (e.g., date/time formats, currency symbols, address layouts, dynamic pluralization, and text truncation/wrap issues).
• Pseudo-Localization: Conduct pseudo-localization builds during early development cycles to catch hardcoded strings, layout clipping, and character rendering errors early in the SDLC.
• Linguistic & UI Quality Verification: Review UI for visual integrity across different screen size.
