Last-minute launch? LiveOps chaos? You need French that works — fast, accurate, and on brand. I deliver clean, creative, and reliable localization, even under pressure. With 16+ years of experience, I tailor every sentence to your voice and your audience.


💻 Business & Tech Localization — Tailored French, Global Mindset

Whether you’re launching a new product, adapting UX microcopy, or localizing technical documentation, I help your French version stay clear, compelling, and aligned with your brand voice. I work on websites, SaaS platforms, mobile apps, software interfaces, internal documentation, corporate training content, subtitles, and more.

Over the years, I’ve supported companies in a wide range of industries, including cloud storage, education, tourism, IoT, mental health, delivery services, event ticketing, and VPNs. I deliver human-quality French through translation, review, post-editing (AIPE/MTPE), final QA, glossary and style guide creation, and team coordination when needed — liaising with other linguists, QA testers, developers, or project stakeholders. I research every term with care, flag issues in the source when needed, and ensure consistency from the start — so localization runs smoothly and pain-free, every step of the way.

➡️Need a French linguist who makes localization pain-free? Let’s connect.

🎮 Video Game Localization — All Genres, All Platforms

From hidden object games to VR walking simulators, I’ve translated over 13 million words of game content across every imaginable genre and platform — from the smallest indie projects to blockbuster AAA releases.
I’ve covered everything from tower defense to visual novels, from trivia games to deeply narrative adventures, from mobile simulators to console-based RPGs. I always work with the QA phase in mind, minimizing the effort required down the line. Having worked in-house with major industry players, I understand the constraints of development cycles, branching dialogue, cultural adaptation, continuous updates, and localization testing.

Fun facts:
⚔️ Fluent in Chenglish after years working on Chinese MMOs.
🕵️‍♀️ Became a Where's Waldo pro after translating millions of words of hidden object games.
👀 Typos happen. I'll flag the possible issues in the English text.
🧠 Fluent in game and localization acronyms: AFK, DLC, EFIGS, LQA, MOBA, F2P, FTW, PvE, CTO

➡️Want to localize your game for French players with smart choices, consistency, and a bit of flair? Let’s talk.
