Being a gamer myself, I understand the language used in the gaming industry and always try to localize the games in a way that they don't feel translated at all.
From casino and gamboling games for online platforms, to RPGs and MMORPGs, I assure the best quality.

At this moment, I am learning to program in Java and Swift to go one step forward in IT, Apps and software knowledge.

A professional translator since 2005 and a gamer since early 90's, I have solid experience in localizing video games and everything related – in-game strings, box texts, QSGs, user manuals, video scripts, marketing and development blogs, etc.
I'm drawn to game localization not only because of my hobby but also because I enjoy the creative challenges this field presents. My personal favorites among game genres are Point & Click adventures; Life and Building Simulations, and Strategy.

I have been a gamer since around the time I got my first computer in the early 1990s.
Since 2008 I have been a freelancer, first working for Siemens Healthcare as a translator for medical equipment but decided to try to break into the games market as soon as possible. In 2010 I finally got the chance and became a tester for hidden object games and adventure RPGs. Currently I am lead localizer for my.com, working on MMORPGs like Skyforge, Allods Online and NetEase's Revelation Online.

I know how gamers think:
My love for gaming was first established in 1987 when my brother bought a used C128 and some games with it. All through my high school and college years and even after joining the workforce on a full-time basis I remained an avid gamer and role-player. So I know the expectations of gamers and their passion for the games they love.

I've been playing video games all my life, and it was a great medium to learn languages with. It therefore felt natural to combine the two and specialize in game localization. During my six years as a game localizer I've translated and proofread games of all genres – from MMOs to adventure, strategy and puzzle games.

I have been exclusively localizing video/computer games for 10+ years, totaling 2,000,000+ words. I gained a thorough understanding of games (including mechanics, terminology, conventions, etc.) by playing countless games starting back in 1984 (= 30+ years' experience) on a Phillips G7000 (Magnavox Odyssey²). Ever since, I played countless games from almost every genre on 15+ Systems. I managed, worked in and successfully completed several game localization projects of up to 200,000 words.

Back in 2012 I was approved directly by a company producing browser games to be their translator from English and German into Bulgarian for all their games, among them action games, MMORPG, strategies, and other types of games. I have translated various types of content, like UI, marketing content, forum and blog posts, video podcasts, social media texts, etc. One year ago I became part of the localization team for Bulgarian of another company involved in localization of games.

As a frequent gamer myself, I have good knowledge of target audiences, terminology used in games, I know which style suits a certain type of game best and I'm also perfectly capable of testing a game and spotting translation or localisation errors in it.

Even though we're adults, we can still enjoy playing. Whether it's a casual farm app on our phone or the occasional MMORPG event, gaming takes our mind off things and into a whole new world. Unlocking that world for more people by translating it into their language is therefore a satisfying part of my job.
I've played several games over the years myself, I particulary love Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2 and the Syberia series. Because yes, girls can be game nerds too.
