With over 17 years in the entertainment industry and more than a decade as a professional video game localization expert and subtitles translator, I ensure that stories, worlds, and ideas are felt as if they were born in the target language.

What I offer:

Expert translation, transcreation, and proofreading, with strong emphasis on linguistic and cultural consistency.
Proficiency in major CAT tools (memoQ, Phrase, Trados, Memsource, Wordfast, MS Localization Studio). I maintain detailed glossaries and translation memories, especially for UI and terminology in gaming universes (Warhammer 40,000, Dune, etc.).
MTPE (machine translation post-editing), leveraging AI tools for context and research while ensuring privacy and accuracy.
Implementing AI in the localization process with a deep understanding of all the challenges it brings, from logistics to the most common errors and quality issues made both by humans and AI.

Relevant projects:

Dune: Awakening (Lead Translator)
Shootas, Blood & Teef (sole translator)
Codemasters F1 series (translator / substantive editor / proofreader)
Other games: GRID: Legends, Marvel: Guardians of the Galaxy, For Honor, Age of Wonders: Planetfall, Civilization VI, Dead by Daylight – Stranger Things Chapter, Far Cry Primal, Northgard, Pillars of Eternity 2 and many more.
Movies and drama: Bob's Burgers (Disney+), One Step Beyond (Netflix), Hablar (Netflix), Shameless (LOT airlines), Raised by Wolves (LOT airlines), Mickey and the Roadster Racers (Disney+)
Dubbing quality assurance (Disney+)

Additional strengths:

Translation of poetry and song lyrics (as singer-songwriter) — rhythm, style, nuance.
Native Polish; English at C1. I don’t just translate words — I craft texts that read naturally in the target language.
