Bio

⚔️ GAME LOCALIZATION IS MY BATTLEFIELD ⚔️


I have been treading the path of a professional translator since 2014 when I started out as a fiction translator. I translated 3 thrillers from the Swedish language, which I studied at uni, into Czech, my mother tongue.


📚 However, soon I realized that thrillers aren't really my cup of tea, but I greatly enjoyed the linguistic work. That is why I decided to try the waters of commercial translation. Sure, it may not carry the same allure as the thrilling world of fiction, but the years I spent working as a proofreader in a translation agency boosted my XP through the roof! I tried my hand at working with CAT tools and on texts ranging from technical to medical, marketing to gaming. 


🐲 And then it clicked. It all suddenly made sense to me! I have always loved games, it would be fun to translate them, I thought. Game localization got me so hooked that I devoted myself to it full-time. Since 2018, I've been all about translating, proofreading, and occasionally even testing board games, card games, and - of course - video games. 


⚔️ I work with many clients, from smaller agencies to big players on the scene. I am experienced in localizing everything a game needs to succeed in the Czech market: User interface, dialogues, social media posts, you name it. Game localization is now my battlefield, words are my weapons, and I am ready for another fight, arrrgh! :C


🎮 Some cool videogame titles I have been a part of (which I can mention here) include: 

• 𝐂𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐤 𝟐𝟎𝟕𝟕 (CD Projekt RED)

• série 𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐀, 𝐕𝐢𝐠𝐨𝐫, 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐙, 𝐘𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 (Bohemia Interactive)

• 𝐀𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧 (Deck13 Interactive)

• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐮 (GoldKnights)


My favorite genres (both from localizer's and player's POV), are RPG, life-sims, and original indie gems. :)


🎲 Some of the most prominent board- and card-game titles I translated:

• 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞 (CMON Global Limited)

• 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰 + Meadow: Downstream (Rebel Studio)

• 𝐄𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐚: 𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 / 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐬 (Diea Games, Steamforged Games Ltd.)

• 𝐂𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐤 𝟐𝟎𝟕𝟕: 𝐆𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 + Families and Outcasts (CMON Global Limited)

• 𝐀𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬: 𝐀 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 (Godot Games)
