[Localization] French translator offering his services

Hi there!

Let me introduce myself: name's Nathan, I am a 23 years old French guy, and I graduated last year from translation, litterature, media studies and linguistics college.

I am an experienced translator in entertainment, and particularly in videogames, I am waiting for my next contract, and the meantime I would like to offer you my services to translate and localize from English/Spanish to French, or of English proofreading and help. I can also translate from French to English if you happen to be a French developper wanting to export its game. It has been proven that a game translated and localized into another langages sells/gets downloaded much more as it can reach a new public. I know translation is not the thing you think about at first, but I assure you it is worth it once you give it a go. And the sooner the better, if your game is an alpha/beta/demo, it will be easier to keep translating it as updates come out! I am mostly working in British English, it is the one I have been taught in school, but I'd be happy to go to American English if you prefer.

But you may ask yourself : «Why should I hire a translator when AI can do it for free?»

Let me answer you : context, tone, style, adaptability and ethics. Everything is preserved with a human translator while it can, and will, be lost with AI. If you have questions about it feel free to ask!

I can give you an ETA on the translations/proofreadings when I am available.

Please feel free to DM me, post in this thread or send me an email at nathan@natuxtranslations.com if you are interested or have any question, I will be happy to answer and get to you as soon as possible. I can also give you exemples of games I have worked on, which is not exactly a portfolio as I did not list the games I have been translating for my studies, but it can give you an idea. You can also visit my website to check some of the work I’ve done.

And finally if you know any other game developer who would be interested, you can give them notice of my offer.

Take care, Nathan
