You will get Video Game Localization: English to Italian Translation
Project details
Level up your game for the Italian market! I provide professional English to Italian translation and localization for Video Games, RPGs, Visual Novels, and Indie Games.
What sets me apart? As a native Italian speaker with a degree in Oriental Cultures, I have a deep understanding of storytelling, character tropes, and pop culture. I know how to adapt fantasy lore, sci-fi terminology, and internet slang so your game feels native to Italian players. I don’t just translate words; I localize the player's experience.
My service covers the localization of:
✔ UI & Menus: Buttons, settings, and system messages (respecting character limits so text doesn't break your interface).
✔ Items & Lore: Weapons, armor, skills, and codex entries.
✔ Dialogues: NPC lines, quests, and cutscenes with natural, engaging phrasing.
✔ Human Translation
How to order: Game scripts can be tricky to calculate. If you have a massive file (e.g., 30,000+ words), simply buy the Advanced package and add the "Extra" for the remaining words. If you are unsure about your word count, send me a message with your game's genre and I'll guide you!

Native Italian Translator | Japanese B2, Chinese B1, English B2
Marano di Napoli, Italy - 8:26 am local time
Ciao and welcome to my profile!
I am a native Italian speaker with a Bachelor's degree in Oriental and African Languages and Cultures from the Università degli Studi di Napoli“L'Orientale”, specializing in Japanese Language and Culture and Chinese Language and Culture. I also have a strong command of English, with the ability to read academic texts and literature fluently.
While my primary expertise is localizing content into native Italian, my academic background at one of Europe's leading institutions for Oriental studies allows me to offer versatile multilingual services. I also provide basic to intermediate translation and cultural bridging into Japanese and Chinese from English or Italian. This makes me an ideal partner for projects that require cross-cultural understanding between European and Asian markets.
My studies give me a deep understanding of cultural nuances, idiomatic expressions, and storytelling tropes. I ensure your content doesn't just get translated, but is fully adapted to feel natural and engaging for the target audience.
My Core Specializations:
🎬 Subtitles & Captions: Anime, YouTube, TV series, and Films.
📚 Books & Literature: Fiction (novels, light novels) and Non-Fiction.
🎮 Video Games: UI, dialogues, quests, and lore for RPGs, Indie games, and Visual Novels.
✒️ Manga & Comics: Dialogues, captions, and Sound Effects (SFX) adaptation.
Languages I work with:
Target (Native): Italian
Target (Basic/Intermediate): Japanese, Chinese
Source: English, Japanese, Chinese
Why work with me?
✔ Human Translation.
✔ Cultural Adaptation: I localize humor, slang, and references so they resonate with the audience.
✔ Technical Precision: Respecting character limits, CPS in subtitles, and SFX in manga.
I am passionate about bringing stories to life across different cultures. Take a look at my Project Catalogs, or send me a message to discuss your custom project!
