I translate Japanese manga and support game localization and linguistic QA.
PolandWhat I'm looking for
I translate manga and Japanese prose literature into Polish, currently working with Waneko and previously collaborating with Wydawnictwo Kirin. I work across Polish, English, and Japanese, combining Japanese studies with a passion for language, technology, and storytelling.
At Gaming Factory, I supported in-game localization as a language consultant and tester, handling linguistic QA, bug reporting, and improvement suggestions.
I’ve also worked in procurement at NEUCA and provided front-desk service for international hotel guests in Japan. I’m comfortable with Google Workspace, MS Office, Jira, Figma, SQL, and technical tools, and I’m currently learning C++ and Godot to develop my own game.
