However, we work as a team (which includes linguists of other languages and outsourcing partners).We specialize in localization, but we also document our knowledge and practical techniques. These include terminology, style guidelines, precautions, and standard phrases. This approach ensures our team's performance remains consistent over the long term. This is also a crucial part of our work. In translation work, we use CAT tools. Maintenance of TM and Terminology is also required. Since we mostly work remotely, communication is conducted using chat apps. In actual work, the time spent on "checking and asking questions" is often more than the time spent on "writing and translating". As the LINE app has been operating for over 10 years, there are a lot of UI assets. It is always necessary to check the consistency with existing terms and usage examples. "Researching on your own" and "Asking questions when unsure" are two things that are needed every day. Also, as about 10 different projects are running concurrently, you will need to multitask and switch between tasks.
