| Japanese → English | Gaming | 1 year | I have worked as a translation manager for a game translation company and understand the backbone of what makes a good video game translation. Games can have a multitude of unique translation issues, such as working with tight character limits, finding the perfect terms for the UI, and making sure all translations have a consistent glossary no matter how many staff are on it. I can assure you that when I am working on video game translation, I am cautious of these issues and will work together with you to create the best translation. | |
| Japanese → English | Comics | 3 years | I have translated and type-setted Japanese doujinshi comics into English as a hobby, as well as worked for various web manga. Manga and comics are my passion so I would love any work related to them. |
