Cándido García Pulido
@cndidogarcapulido
LQA and game localization expert delivering agile linguistic QA worldwide.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Linguist and LQA specialist with 4+ years of combined experience in localization quality assurance and video game translation. I focus on catching linguistic issues early and ensuring translations work seamlessly in real gameplay contexts.
I’ve delivered linguistic testing across multiple platforms, including PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and mobile, using tools like Jira and TestRail. My work includes linguistic and regression testing, test case design, and clear bug reporting—covering issues such as text truncation, text overflow, translation errors, terminology inconsistencies, and subtitle synchronization.
Alongside QA, I’m also an EN/FR > ES translator who applies cultural and stylistic adaptation for Spanish-speaking audiences. With a Master’s in Video Game Translation and Localization and hands-on experience in agile international teams, I’m available for full-time or part-time remote work from Spain.
