WITH OVER 1.7M WORDS OF TRANSLATED, PROOFREAD AND TESTED CONTENT, LOCSMITH IS YOUR ONE-STOP
SHOP FOR GAME-RELATED LOCALISATION NEEDS!
With over three years of in-house industry experience handling some of the bestselling video game franchises, an up-to-date knowledge of 1st-party naming conventions and compliance testing procedures (TRC and TCR), an on-hands testing experience with both Xbox 1 and PlayStation 4 test kits, LQA and CAT tools expertise (MemoQ- and SDL Trados-certified), a B.A. in Applied Linguistics, and most of all, a lifetime as a gaming buff, I am here to ensure that your title is as immersive and bug-proof as it deserves to be.
I pride myself in providing high standard of work and customer-tailored solutions at no-nonsense rates. While working primarily on an independent basis, I am comfortable coping with large word counts and meeting strict deadlines, owing to a close-knit cooperation with several tried and tested industry vets. Fundamentally, however, I am a gamer at heart, who cut his teeth jumping into haystacks from ridiculous heights, making it alive out of the cow level, and leaving no one behind the Omega 4 relay (kudos if you got the references).

LOCSMITH'S SERVICES
The experience gained whilst working on the inside of game production and translation industry provided me with a nuanced knowledge of the localisation workflow across all its phases: from pre-production, scheduling, and localisation kit creation, to dev testing, translation, linguistic QA, and 1st‑party submission. My rate typically encompasses the following steps:
Translation, adaptation, proofreading for video games (e.g. subtitles, dialogues, user interface, tutorials, editors, manuals, official guides, rich presence and achievements, websites, newsletters, marketing collaterals, warranties, EULAs);
Terminology extraction, translation memory and termbase compilation;
Translation quality assurance utilising dedicated software in order to assure formatting, code, glossary, number and punctuation consistency;
Query support — full use and active screening of all channels of communication with PM and end-client to ensure high quality output;
Familiarisation phase on testing branch / special builds (free under 2 hours);
The aforementioned processes do not exhaust all of the provided services. Here are a few more ways, in which I can help to bring extra value to your localisation:
Localisation testing with adherence to localisation-specific compliance procedures (TRC, TCR) and platform-related terminology (on per hour basis);
Ongoing support reviewing and implementing testing suggestions to ensure unity of voice and brand identity
