Offering FREE localization (EN →JP) – Looking for indie devs!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for indie game developers who would be willing to provide game text for me to practice translating and localizing from English to Japanese. This is purely for practice, so I will do it for free. However, I’d like to use the translated text as part of my portfolio.

I’m a native Japanese speaker + a gamer, so I can ensure the translations feel natural and culturally appropriate.

I’m happy to work on various types of text, whether it’s a small portion or a larger section. I’m not entirely sure what the best format for delivery would be, so I’d love to hear your suggestions on what format would be most suitable (e.g., plain text, spreadsheets, or other formats).

Please note that since this is a practice project, it may take some time for me to complete the translation. Also, if I receive too many requests, I may not be able to take on all of them.

NSFW content will be considered on a case-by-case basis. However, I may have to decline content that is excessively explicit or extreme.

Please feel free to comment or contact me on Discord: omochi_on_fire

Hello there! Good night. I'm interested in a Japanese localization for my horror visual novel/Otome game, Infectious Doctor.  It just hit 5.000 downloads so I'm looking for translators from various different countries to localize/translate the script, especially Japanese, to celebrate this milestone. Are you interested? My discord is liadesa and my email is lialop99@hotmail.com

Hi! Would you be interested in having your project translated to Ukrainian and Russian free of charge? I'm looking to build my resume so I'm offering translation for free. Certified C1 level of proficiency. My discord is _komashka

I don't know if I need a full localization of Japanese, but I'm curious about properly applying Japanese concepts and culture to my project. Would you be interested in discussing that? It would mostly be a discussion about creative ideas and if they work from a Japanese perspective.

Please contact me on Discord! If you share your Discord ID, I’ll send you a friend request.

Goodmorning devs from Hearthside Games, 

I wonder if you are also interested in an Italian translation. I would be happy to  help you reaching more markets for your product. While, on me, I am trying to create my own portfolio, cooperating with various devs to get experience in the field.

Cordially,
