Spanish Accessibility Tester

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United Kingdom.

📋 Description

• Verify the accuracy of language codes in HTML and PDF metadata while identifying mixed-language content that lacks appropriate declarations.

• Utilize native-language screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack, or Narrator) to assess the accuracy, natural phrasing, and clarity of translated accessible text — including hidden elements, tooltips, error messages, alt text, and UI labels — when read aloud.

• Review captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions for precision, synchronization, and natural language, ensuring multimedia controls are correctly labeled in the target language.

• Document findings with references to WCAG/PDF-UA standards, including supporting screenshots or recordings and severity classifications; engage in review calls with the QA Lead as necessary.

⛳️ Requirements

• Native or near-native proficiency in Spanish; you will serve as the authoritative source on the naturalness and comprehensibility of translated content.

• Proven hands-on experience in testing digital content using assistive technology/AT.

• Familiarity with WCAG 2.1 & 2.2 AA and EN 301 549.

• Capability to assess content from a native-speaker accessibility viewpoint — focusing not only on technical compliance but also on real-world usability for screen reader users fluent in the language.

• Consistent access to relevant devices and operating systems to simulate real-world usage in the target locale.

• Strong written communication abilities in English for reporting defects and general correspondence (preferred).

• Experience with PDF accessibility testing using PAC 3 or Adobe Acrobat Pro Accessibility Checker (preferred).

• Understanding of internationalization, localization, and translation processes; awareness of how accessibility elements can be impacted during format conversion (preferred).

• Personal experience with assistive technology (preferred).

🏝️ Benefits

• Welocalize provides access credentials and a structured testing plan for each engagement.

• Testers are required to provide their own device and assistive technology setup suitable for the target locale.
