Role overview
About Welocalize
About the Role
- Welocalize is expanding its network of accessibility testers to validate the language-specific accessibility of localized digital content: web pages, applications, and documents.
- You will serve as a native-language expert reviewer, confirming that accessibility elements not only survive translation but are accurate, understandable, and functional in the target language (Dutch).
- This role requires fluency in the target language, hands-on experience with assistive technology in that language, and familiarity with Digital Accessibility standards and guidelines such as PDF/UA, WCAG 2.1 & 2.2, and EN 301 549 to complement accessibility testing done internally.
- Work is assigned on a project basis. You will receive a defined scope, a testing checklist, and access credentials. Findings are reported in a structured defect log and specific bug tracking system.
What You Will Do
The actual scope will vary by assignment, but the general extent of this role is outlined below.
- Language Validation: Confirm correct language codes in HTML and PDF metadata, and identify mixed-language content missing proper declarations.
- In-Language Screen Reader Testing: Using native-language screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack, or Narrator), review translated accessible text — including hidden elements, tooltips, error messages, alt text, and UI labels — for accuracy, natural phrasing, and clarity when read aloud.
- Multimedia Accessibility Review: Evaluate captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions for accuracy, synchronization, and natural language, and confirm multimedia controls are properly labeled in the target language.
- Defect Reporting: Log findings with WCAG/PDF-UA references, supporting screenshots or recordings, and severity classifications; participate in review calls with the QA Lead as needed.
What We Are Looking For
Required
- Native or near-native fluency in Dutch; you are the authoritative voice on whether translated content reads naturally and is understandable.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience testing digital content with assistive technology/AT.
- Working knowledge of WCAG 2.1 & 2.2 AA and EN 301 549.
- Ability to evaluate content from a native-speaker accessibility perspective — not just technical compliance, but real-world usability for screen reader users who speak the language.
- Reliable access to relevant devices and operating systems to replicate real-world usage in the target locale.
Nice to have
- Strong written communication skills in English for defect reporting and general communications.
- Experience with PDF accessibility testing using PAC 3 or Adobe Acrobat Pro Accessibility Checker.
- Familiarity with internationalization, localization, and translation workflows; understanding of how accessibility elements can be affected during format conversion.
- Personal use of assistive technology.
Tools and Environment
- Welocalize provides access credentials and a structured test plan per engagement. Testers are expected to supply their own device and assistive technology setup appropriate to the target locale.
- Commonly used tools in this role include:
- Screen readers: JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), TalkBack (Android), Narrator (Windows)
- Browser/screen reader pairings aligned to the target locale's most common usage patterns
- Caption and transcript review: native video players, .srt/.vtt file review
- PDF accessibility: PAC 3, Adobe Acrobat Pro (provided where required)
- Defect logging: Jira bug tracking system is most frequently used
What to Expect
- Assignments are project-based with clear scope documents, test checklists, and agreed turnaround timelines provided before work begins.
- Scope for each engagement will specify the exact language, content type, pages or documents in scope, and priority areas.
- You will not be expected to remediate or fix issues; your role is testing and reporting.
- Welocalize values feedback: if checklist items are unclear or a finding falls outside the defined scope, flag it and we will address it.
How to Apply

- A brief introduction covering your language, screen reader experience, and accessibility background.
