Dear Capsuleers,

[h2]What should I expect when I enroll?[/h2]
The ISD program allows players with good knowledge of EVE Online to spend some time on various projects related to the game. If you fancy lending a hand in the help channel, or assisting with translating or reviewing extra documentation or blogs on certain issues, or just to help us spot issues in-game in your language, then the ISD program is for you!

[h2]How do I register?[/h2]
It's simple, you just have to click on this link and fill out the registration form. Once you have applied, your application will be processed internally, and for the LOC team, you will be sent a translation test to assess your level. If your profile is accepted, you will have a quick chat with the ISD LOC lead and will join our ranks!

For STAR, you will hear back from us as soon as your application is processed!
The history of EVE Online applicants will also be checked. Applicants who have passed the test successfully will sign the ISD operating conditions and a confidentiality clause.

We look forward to working with you on EVE Online!
