I localize and test Japanese, English, and Polish video games across PC, console, and mobile.
PolandWhat I'm looking for
I've localized titles including Palworld, Aquapark Tycoon, Bokura: Planet, and Raiders of Blackveil for Active Gaming Media, translating dialogue, UI, item descriptions, and system messages between Japanese, English, and Polish.
At GienTech (Tencent), I support Japanese game releases through linguistic QA and functional testing for Exoborne, Dying Light: The Beast, and Monster Hunter Outlanders. I investigate subtitle alignment, UI overflow, font rendering, multiplayer synchronization, and linguistic issues, then report and verify bugs in Jira.
I work with memoQ, Jira, Confluence, Unreal Engine 5, and platform terminology requirements for Xbox and PlayStation. My Japanese and English are C2, and Polish is my native language.
Alongside game work, I've translated for international clients, written Japanese SEO content, evaluated AI responses, and built a playable Unreal Engine 5 prototype with Blueprints, inventory, puzzle logic, UI, and interaction systems.
