🌟 I started out as a general translator, working 4 years in technical translation — it paid the bills, but something was missing. I always knew I wanted to translate games, though it felt far off.

After exploring other paths, little signs kept pointing me back: “This is your passion.” Now, I’m fully diving into video game localization (EN ↔ PT-PT), finally aligning my work with what truly excites me. 🎮

Little known high of #gameLocalization: The moment you realize you have a full dialogue scene with your favorite character ahead of you. I just love this guy's diction and getting to dive into his speech.

Hello, #PortfolioDay!

I am an EN/DE > FR translator with 14 years of experience. I am specialised in the fantasy genre, mainly for video games as you can see below.

I have also translated a 200-page sourcebook for The Dark Eye, the famous German TTRPG.

If you are looking for a French partner for localisation, or know somebody who might need one, let's talk!

A story of a Chinese translator for Silksong that completely disregarded their NDA and stubbornly produced Chinese localization that fans hated, resulting in only 52 % positive reviews for Silksong in China on release day (by Loek van Kooten):

To game devs out there: Always check the submitted translations before implementing them. And always credit (and pay) people for their work.

Je suis basiquement en train de dire à l'équipe de projet comment on aide l'équipe de traduction/relecture à mieux faire son boulot avec les outils disponibles.

Tout va bien.

(Non, ils ne me paieront pas le temps passé à faire ça, évidemment, pensez-vous, allons.)

Ah, la traduction de jeux de mots. Parmi les plus ardus, les surnoms. Je galère sur celui-là, qui est pourtant un classique.

Je me suis un peu rouillé depuis le dernier jeu, qui était très sage dans son niveau de langue, de toute façon.

Allez, réfléchissement... pendant le sommeil ^^

Bonne nuit !

Allez, au boulot !

*allume le PC de gaming*

Il faut bien se contextualiser quand ce que tu vas traduire est un spin-off ^^
