More New Taiko no Tatsujin in Other Languages? BNEI (Taiwan) Starts Localization Department

In news that you probably never think would matter, the Bandai Namco Entertainment subsidiary in Taiwan is expecting to set up a Chinese localization department, and is hiring translation and quality assurance talents. The job description lists, other than Chinese, also English and Korean as possible work areas:
●文字翻譯人員 Translator
進行遊戲產品文字翻譯工作(日翻中/日翻英/日翻韓)
Translation work for game products (Japanese to Chinese/Japanese to English/Japanese to Korean)

Of course, this upcoming team would not be dedicated to Taiko no Tatsujin, but with the imminent precedent of V Version getting a full Chinese port, it would not be far off to expect a little translation love here and there when another new Taiko no Tatsujin console comes around, maybe even the Asian version arcade!

Wishful thinking aside, if you are interested in one of these positions, check out the links with BNEI at their various outlets.
