Spanish Language Accessibility Tester

About the role

Welocalize, a Welo Global brand, seeks to expand its network of accessibility testers to ensure the language-specific accessibility of localized digital content. This role involves native-language validation of translated content, ensuring it is accurate, understandable, and functional.

Responsibilities

• Language Validation: Confirm correct language codes in HTML and PDF metadata, and identify mixed-language content missing proper declarations.
• In-Language Screen Reader Testing: Review translated accessible text, including hidden elements, tooltips, error messages, alt text, and UI labels, using native-language screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack, or Narrator).
• Multi-Media 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.

Requirements

• Native or near-native fluency in Spanish.
• 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.

Qualifications

• 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.
