About this Gig
Your content is ready for the Japanese market, but is your Japanese ready for Japanese readers?
I'm a native Japanese speaker who translates and localizes English content into natural, idiomatic Japanese, not text that reads like machine translation.
I specialize in game localization: Japanese players are famously unforgiving of awkward, robotic translations. But the same native-level naturalness applies to any content: apps, websites, business documents, or manga.
WHAT I CAN LOCALIZE: games (Steam / itch.io pages, in-game UI, item/skill names, dialogue, patch notes), software and apps (UI strings, onboarding, help docs), business content (websites, product descriptions, marketing copy), and manga / webtoons.
WHY WORK WITH ME: native Japanese, so I catch tone and cultural context machine translation misses; direct communication with no agency layer; format-flexible, working with spreadsheet, CSV, JSON, .po file, or plain text.
HOW IT WORKS: send your text and context, I translate and review for natural phrasing, then you get a proofread Japanese file, ready to use.
Let's get your content ready for one of the toughest, and most rewarding, markets to localize for.

FAQ
Do you use machine translation / AI tools?
I use AI as a first-pass draft for efficiency, but every line is manually reviewed, corrected, and rewritten by me as a native speaker. The final text is never raw MT output.
What file formats can you work with?
Excel/CSV, JSON, .po/.pot files, plain text, or Google Sheets. If your engine uses a specific format (Unity, Godot, RPG Maker), let me know and I'll adapt.
Can you playtest the localized text in-game?
For an additional fee, yes. If you can share a build or your screen, I can playtest and catch text overflow or context issues.
Do you only work with games?
Games are my specialty, but I regularly localize apps, websites, business documents, and marketing content too. Send me your content type and I'll confirm fit before you order.
How fast can you turn this around?
Depends on word count, see package delivery times. Rush delivery is available for an extra fee.
