My name is Matheus Mattos, and I’m a EN to PT-BR professional translator with over 12 years of experience, specializing in Videogames, History and Entertainment. I’ve worked — and continue to work — on several major game titles and a variety of mobile games. I hold a university degree in Languages and Literature, which provides me with a strong academic background in language, linguistics, and writing. At the same time, I am a lifelong and highly experienced gamer with a deep understanding of game mechanics, systems, terminology, and player culture. I have accumulated thousands of hours across a wide range of genres and franchises, including Age of Empires, Civilization, Pokémon, The Legend of Zelda, Ragnarok, Mass Effect, The Elder Scrolls, New World, and many others. This combination of formal linguistic training and extensive hands-on gaming experience allows me to approach localization not only as a professional translator, but also from the perspective of someone who genuinely understands how games work and how players experience them. In addition to being a skilled writer with a strong grasp of storytelling, character development, and narrative impact, I’m also fluent in slang, meme culture, streaming jargon, and marketing language. On the technical side, I have solid experience translating UI/UX elements, skill descriptions, patch notes, and other gameplay-specific texts with clarity and precision. I’m based in São Paulo (UTC-3) and work full-time as a freelancer, with wide availability — even on short notice. I'm the most reliable professional you can find in terms of deadlines, timely responses and quality — I never miss a deadline. While it's not yet standard practice in the videogame industry to credit translators, this is fortunately beginning to change.
