Personal Anecdotes
One memorable experience that stands out was when I worked as a Proofreader and a Localization Specialist on a translation project for a chinese novel. The author's use of idioms and cultural references made the translation challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. Seeing the finished product and knowing that I played a role in localizing the project to serve a wider audience was truly fulfilling.
