About this Portfolio
OverviewWhat I do
Linguistic Quality Assurance for games (EN→ES-ES, JP→ES-ES), AI/LLM output evaluation in Spanish (LATAM & ES-ES), and legal translation (EN→ES). I work across the full localization pipeline — from string review and bug reporting to regression testing and gold master sign-off.
My differentiator
One of very few LATAM-native specialists with hands-on ES-ES (European Spanish) game localization experience. This dual-variant fluency is rare and in high demand across the European market, particularly for titles targeting both Spain and Latin America simultaneously.

What's in this portfolio
All samples are original work created for portfolio purposes. Real project materials from Kinsha Co., Ltd. are covered under NDA. Each sample is designed to reflect real-world LQA and evaluation scenarios encountered in professional game localization and AI/LLM projects.

UI String Localization
EN → ES-ES · Character-constrainedAction RPG — HUD & Menu Strings
Character-limited UI strings for an action RPG. Constraints simulate real platform requirements (console HUD, button prompts, inventory menus). European Spanish (ES-ES) target.
ES-ES
UI/HUD
Char-constrained
| String ID | EN Source | ES-ES Translation | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HUD_001 | Press [A] to interact | Pulsa [A] para interactuar | ✓ 26/30 | «Pulsa» preferred over «Presiona» in ES-ES register. |
| HUD_002 | Hold [B] to sprint | Mantén [B] para correr | ✓ 22/25 | «Correr» chosen over «esprintar» — natural ES-ES, avoids anglicism. |
| INV_003 | Equip | Equipar | ✓ 7/10 | Standard term — consistent with style guide. |
| INV_004 | Unequip | Desequipar | ✓ 10/12 | Preferred over «retirar» for terminological consistency with INV_003. |
| INV_005 | Item cannot be discarded | No puedes desechar este objeto | ⚠ 30/28 — TRIMMED | Original translation 32 chars. Rewritten to fit limit without omitting meaning. |
| MENU_006 | Save & Quit | Guardar y salir | ✓ 15/18 | Standard — matches ES-ES platform conventions. |
| MENU_007 | Continue without saving? | ¿Continuar sin guardar? | ✓ 22/30 | Opening «¿» included — mandatory punctuation in ES-ES. Often missed by LATAM translators. |
| MENU_008 | New Game+ | Nueva partida+ | ✓ 14/16 | «Partida» over «juego» — more natural in gaming context for ES-ES. |
| NOTIF_009 | Achievement unlocked! | ¡Logro desbloqueado! | ✓ 20/24 | Opening «¡» included. «Logro» is the standard ES-ES term (vs. «trofeo» on PlayStation). |
| NOTIF_010 | Connection lost. Reconnecting… | Conexión perdida. Reconectando… | ✓ 31/35 | Ellipsis retained as a single character (…) per ES-ES typography convention. |
LQA Bug Reports
Linguistic defect documentationBug Report #LQA-0047 — Register Error / Tone Inconsistency
Action RPG · ES-ES · Tutorial sequence
ES-ES
Major
String ID
TUT_ES_0112
Issue
Character uses «tú» form throughout the game (informal address). In this string, the translation switches to «usted» (formal address), breaking consistency and the established character voice.
Current (incorrect): "Señor, usted debe presionar el botón para continuar."
Current (incorrect): "Señor, usted debe presionar el botón para continuar."
Expected
Suggested fix: "Pulsa el botón para continuar."
Removes erroneous formal address. Aligns with «tú» register used in all other tutorial strings. Also replaces «presionar» with «pulsar», consistent with ES-ES button prompt conventions established in HUD strings.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Launch game → New Game
2. Complete intro cinematic
3. Enter Tutorial Stage 1
4. Trigger first prompt — string TUT_ES_0112 appears in dialogue box

Bug Report #LQA-0061 — Missing Punctuation / Typography
Action RPG · ES-ES · Inventory screen
ES-ES
Minor
String ID
INV_CONFIRM_ES_004
Issue
Interrogative sentence missing opening inverted question mark (¿), which is mandatory in Spanish orthography per RAE guidelines. This is a recurring error pattern — LATAM translators frequently omit this mark as it is not used in LATAM informal digital writing.
Current (incorrect): "Seguro que quieres desechar este objeto?"
Current (incorrect): "Seguro que quieres desechar este objeto?"
Expected
Suggested fix: "¿Seguro que quieres desechar este objeto?"
Add «¿» at the start of the string. ES-ES style guide and RAE standard both require opening punctuation. Recommend a global search for all interrogative strings missing «¿» to identify similar instances.

Tutorial dialogue for a composed, authoritative NPC character. Focus on maintaining character voice, natural ES-ES phrasing, and functional clarity for gameplay instructions.
ES-ES
Dialogue
Tutorial
| EN Source | ES-ES Translation | Localization Notes |
|---|---|---|
| So, you're finally awake. Try moving with the left stick. | Así que por fin despiertas. Intenta moverte con la palanca izquierda. | Tone adapted for composed, mystical character. «Palanca» preferred over «joystick» — natural ES-ES. |
| Good. Now, focus your energy and press the button to cast an ice spell. | Bien. Ahora canaliza tu energía y presiona el botón «A» para lanzar un hechizo de hielo. | «Canaliza» chosen over «enfoca» — enhances magical register, fits character voice. Button label kept per platform style guide. |
| Don't rush. Precision matters more than speed. | No te precipites. La precisión vale más que la velocidad. | «Precipites» over «te apresures» — more refined tone appropriate for the NPC's authoritative voice. |
| Freeze your enemies before they can strike. | Congela a tus enemigos antes de que puedan atacar. | Natural phrasing. «A» personal pronoun included as required by ES-ES grammar for direct objects referring to people. |
| You've done well. The path ahead will demand more of you. | Lo has hecho bien. El camino que te aguarda te exigirá más. | «Te aguarda» chosen over «que hay por delante» — more literary register consistent with character. Maintains formal tone without using «usted». |
| Remember: magic has a cost. Use it wisely. | Recuerda: la magia tiene un precio. Úsala con sabiduría. | «Con sabiduría» preferred over «sabiamente» — sounds more deliberate and weighted, matching the NPC's wisdom-teacher archetype. |
LLM Output Evaluation

Prompt given to model
Write a formal customer service response in European Spanish (ES-ES) to a user who reports that their game save file was corrupted. Apologize, explain next steps, and maintain a professional tone throughout.
Model Output (to be evaluated)
Hola! Lamentamos mucho que hayas tenido este problema con tu archivo de guardado. Esto puede pasar a veces y entendemos que es frustrante. Para solucionar esto, te recomendamos que intentes restaurar desde la nube si tienes activada la sincronización. Si no funciona, contacta a nuestro equipo de soporte y ellos te ayudarán. ¡Gracias por tu paciencia!

Structured Annotation — Issues Identified
- Register Opening «Hola!» is too informal for a formal customer service context in ES-ES. Expected: «Estimado/a usuario/a» or «Buenas tardes». Model defaults to LATAM-casual register despite explicit ES-ES formal instruction.
- Register «Esto puede pasar a veces» is colloquial and dismissive — inappropriate register for acknowledging a customer's issue. Weakens the apology required by the prompt.
- Fluency «Si no funciona, contacta a nuestro equipo» — omits the required «a» before «nuestro equipo» in some constructions; also abrupt transition. Flow is functional but not polished.
- Accuracy Response covers the core content (apology, next steps) but does not clearly structure them as required. Steps are embedded in casual prose rather than explicitly enumerated.
- Cultural Closing «¡Gracias por tu paciencia!» uses «tú» — inconsistent with the formal «usted» register expected in ES-ES formal customer service. In ES-ES B2C formal communications, «usted» is standard.
