UI, dialogue, items, events and announcements: I adapt every text in your game between English and French, respecting engine constraints and the voice of your world.
A game is more than a string file. I adapt every text that shapes the player's experience, from the first tutorial pop-up to patch notes, keeping one consistent voice across all of it.
A good translation that breaks the layout is unusable. I work with engine limits in mind: maximum string length, placeholders, variables, plurals and gender, formatting tags, segment order. Files come back with exactly the structure they left with.
Projects start with a framing phase: what the game looks like, who plays it, what register fits, which references matter. That produces a glossary and style guide which then govern every later batch, including updates delivered months down the line.
Localized files in their original format, the project glossary and style guide, and a list of questions and observations on ambiguous source strings — often a chance to fix inconsistencies in the original build too.
“Players should never feel that they are reading a translation.”
