Experience

EA is my most regular client. I’ve been working with them since the beginning of my career and have handled many video and mobile games of pretty much all genres in the meantime. Apart from the localization of a base game and its updates, I also work on all the supplementary materials, including marketing and metadata requests, help and troubleshoot information, game website localization, and so on. Basically, I work on anything that might concern the project.

I have also localized IPs of such companies as Microsoft, Square Enix, Disney, Red Bull and Gamevil, as well as numerous mobile game brands.

Genres I work with include all kinds of shooters (both single and multiplayer), simulators, adventure, action, causal, (MMO)RPG and MOBA games, etc. I provide translations for all the platforms and know the difference between naming conventions.

I am an avid player myself and consider this one of my advantages, as I know what people want from a localized game and try to meet their expectations.
