Greetings! I'm Larissa, a translator from EN-BRPT.

As the passionate gamer and translator I've always been, I decided to take one step ahead. I brought gaming and translation together with my passion for words to level up my professional skills.

So far, I have worked with the localization of different genres of games: RPG, JRPG, Action/Adventure, Casual, Idle, Gacha, FPS, Horror, Hack and Slash, Puzzle, Simulation, Point and Click, Lovecraftian, Farm games, Dungeon Crawler, Roguelike, Exploration, Supernatural, and Building games (mobile and console).

I have experience in translation and proofreading, working on the translation of thirty-eight games, seven books, as well as technical, marketing, and website translation. When it comes to game proofreading, I worked with ten different games. I also worked on the MTPE of web-based novels and games.
