Powerstar Golf simulation

Translation of tutorials, tips, dialogue fields and menus (August 2013)

Football simulations

Translation and supervision of the world’s largest multilingual football simulation for a global player in the video game industry (February 2012 to date)

I worked at the company premises for three years, acting as the mediator between the translation agency and studio. I have prepared the German in-game comments for the agency/end client every year since 2012.
