Thank you for checking my profile. I have two years experience of localizing a Japanese mobile game from Japanese to English. Translating included script, in-game texts and notifications to the users. I enjoyed translating the source language to the target considering the both culture, meaning I focus on meaning of what is written and change it to put it into the other language to sound as natural as possible, rather than simply translating word-by-word. I can work in a team and I enjoy cooperating with other members. Have a nice communication skill.
