"Georgios did an excellent job translating our mobile app. It is an
adventure game and has a large amount of creative writing...so it was
not an easy challenge. He was so nice and very responsive to questions
and concerns, and worked fast to meet our deadline. Would HIGHLY
recommend!! Thanks Georgios, we look forward to working together again."

- Fire Maple Games


"Georgios led our team of linguists on a large website localization project for HomeAway.com. He was also our editor for Greek and the linguistic tester.
Throughout the months-long project, he exhibited clear and responsive
communication, a flexible and upbeat attitude, and a complete dedication
to getting the job done with linguistic integrity. He consistently
displayed intimate knowledge of the language requirements, our CAT tool,
bug reporting thought JIRA, and long-term goals of our client. I felt
confident in his decision-making and putting him in touch directly with
the client. [...] I heartily look forward to our next opportunity to
work together!"
