🔠Translation Challenges The translation process is never linear. Text comes to us in large chunks, sometimes lacking clear logic or context! And often times, it's a jumbled mess that needs to be organized. Sort of like untangling Christmas lights!🎄 3/13

✍️ Game Writing Whether it's in-house or external writers, there's a lot of back-and-forth with the writers and the team! And things get even trickier when the contents/materials need to be translated back and forth, adding extra layers of complexity. 🇯🇵➡️🌐 2/13

@Fuwabunn Thank you for the question! Yes, Capcom does sponsor visas and no you don't have to currently reside in Japan. It is a plus if you already do reside in Japan and have some experience working in a professional Japanese environment, but it's not a requirement.
