Maintain and continuously improve Brazilian Portuguese glossaries, style guides, and translation memories to ensure consistent terminology. Work with international teams in English to clarify context, priorities, requirements, and deadlines for localization projects. Conduct linguistic quality assurance (LQA) across localized screens and user flows, comparing them with source content and identifying inconsistencies before release.
