  • Native or near-native Kannada proficiency (reading and writing required)
  • Strong English proficiency (minimum C1)
  • 3+ years of professional experience in writing, editing, localization, translation, content QA, or related language work
  • Deep understanding of Kannada grammar, spelling conventions, punctuation, and style
