Getting into localisation

I have recently made the decision to explore #localisation as a possible future career. I have begun contributing to the #translation of various #freeSoftware projects (especially #TrinityDesktop), both to help out and to build experience alongside a portfolio.

In the future, I'd love to get into #LocJam once it happens again, and perhaps help translate some #indieGames.

Translation and localisation are really quite fun, moreso than any other career opportunity I have been looking into to date! Watching the progress bar of "untranslated strings" slowy turn green is so satisfying.
If only there were job opportunities nearby already.
