What can I do for you?

Translation

๐Ÿ’ฌ Translation | Game Localization

When you decide to translate your video game, you need a linguist capable of achieving the most important goal: the localized version of your game must offer the players the same experience as the original.

With excellent language skills both in the source and target language, the ability to write creatively, and a strong dedication to providing the best quality, I can be the translator helping you achieve that goal.

Review

๐Ÿ” Editing | Proofreading

If translation is carving an image out of living wood, editing is polishing that work of art until it shines. Grammar, punctuation, spelling and style: by reviewing the translated text, the goal is to provide a coherent, entertaining and free-of-errors final product.

If youโ€™re looking for someone with a keen eye for details and an abhorrence for misplaced commas, I might be the editor youโ€™re looking for.

Teaching

๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿซ Tutoring | Language teaching

I see my students as an audience to entertain: that's why I use my passion for video games to create engaging content for them to enjoy. I keep learners motivated with well-planned lessons, tailored to their needs, using digital tools, games and memes. If they are having fun, it means they are learning.

If you're looking for someone ready to listen and guide you in learning Chinese or English language, I'm here to help.

Some of the games I have translated

Academia School Simulator Video Game

Academia: School Simulator

A management/tycoon game that required a lot of creativity to be translated. I relied on transcreation to adapt the humor and convey the puns found in the game's events and proper names, re-creating some content to maintain the game's tone of voice and feel.

Call of Antia Video Game

Call of Antia

A Match-3 RPG game with an engaging storyline and... pretty strict character limits. Aside from language skills, technical aspects are of the utmost importance in localization in order to ensure an optimal player experience and prevent issues with the UI.

Path of Immortals Video Game

Path of Immortals

A hack'n'slash game featuring a great variety of locations, enemies, items, skills and characters with very distinct personalities. I had to ensure consistency and carve the dialogues of the characters to maintain their integrity and temperament in the target text.

Anna did a great job during localization process of my PC game Juro Janosik from English to Italian language. She was really quick with translations and she was also able to find some issues during testing my game. I would highly recommend her as translator for Italian language.
