Localization manager and translator specializing in English–Russian language solutions.
GeorgiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a localization manager and translator with a philology background and extensive experience in English–Russian and Russian–English translation across games, corporate communications, and technical documentation.
Since 2019 I have worked in game localization, managing projects end-to-end: assigning and monitoring team tasks, proofreading for style and context, maintaining locakits, glossaries and style guides, and conducting research to ensure cultural and linguistic accuracy.
Earlier in my career I translated accounting and financial reports, corporate documents, contracts, and marketing content, and provided consecutive interpretation for business meetings, which strengthened my attention to detail and domain versatility.
I aim to continue growing in localization with a focus on cultural and linguistic aspects, applying my teaching experience and editorial skills to improve quality and consistency in multilingual products.
