Project details

You will get professional English–Japanese video game localization that preserves your game’s tone, character voice, and player experience. I specialize in localizing dialogue, UI text, item descriptions, tutorials, and in-game narratives for mobile, PC, and console games.

My focus is not just direct translation, but cultural adaptation—ensuring your game feels natural and immersive for Japanese players. I carefully adapt humor, character expressions, and gaming terminology while respecting UI length limits and platform guidelines.

With experience in game content, subtitles, and localization workflows, I deliver accurate, consistent, and high-quality localized files ready for implementation. Every project includes terminology consistency checks and quality assurance to ensure a polished final result.
