Video Game Localization

Video Game Localization

Japanese to English localization, proofreading, editing of video games.

I have been an avid gamer of Japanese and English games since I was 9. I love playing games in English and Japanese as well as analyzing game localizations.

• Translate into natural English dialogue for video games.
• Translate developer text for English developers.
• Cultural understanding of both Japan and US to localize jokes and slang appropriately.
• Match company style guides.
• Tackle variety of subject matters.
  – Fantasy
  – Sci-fi
  – Adventure
