Bio

May Language Studio

English → German translation for games, apps and marketing

Dominik May · Native German · Rostock, Germany · Full-time since April 2020 · ProZ.com Certified PRO

I am Dominik May, a native German translator. May Language Studio is my business name: you work with me. I translate, review, and post-edit English content into German for game publishers, app developers, and language service providers, and I have translated and proofread over 2.5 million words of gaming content.

  • Currently translating and editing for a major MMORPG (NDA) with extensive gender-neutral German.
  • Extensive help center, player support, and patch notes translation for a major game studio.

Selected titles

Marvel Rivals · Balatro · The Walking Dead: Destinies · TANUKI: Pon's Summer · Hot Wheels: Monster Trucks – Stunt Mayhem · Ranger's Path: National Park Simulator · Burden Street Station · Assault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tribute · Warhaven · Mineko's Night Market · Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs · Big Buck Hunter: Ultimate Trophy

Further titles include Drowned Lake, Eclipsium, Altered Alma, Flawless Abbey, Militsioner, Grobnopolis: Last Days, and Vampire Survivors (DLC). Plus numerous projects under NDA for publishers and LSPs.

Apps: stoic. (iOS app)
Travel: ongoing light MTPE/review for a leading online travel platform; MTPE of city travel guides for a travel content publisher
Subtitling: TV series such as MacGyver, SEAL Team, and Oz

Services

  • Translation: game strings, dialogue, UI, quest and item text, patch notes, help center and player support texts, store pages, app content, and marketing copy
  • Review/proofreading: bilingual review with tracked changes or error-category feedback
  • MTPE: full post-editing of machine or AI output to human quality, or light post-editing where specified
  • LQA: linguistic checks in builds, screenshots, or exported strings, reported in your format
  • Transcreation: marketing copy, store listings, and slogans adapted for German-speaking players and customers, with German search terms in mind
  • Terminology: glossary creation and maintenance for recurring accounts
  • Subtitling: subtitle translation for TV series as an additional service

Already have a German version? A review of the existing translation can be the first step: proofreading and linguistic testing feedback in your bug-tracking or spreadsheet format.

How I work with agencies and studios

  • You send the job in your tool and format; I deliver in the same, following your instructions, style guide, and QA settings.
  • Placeholders, variables, tags, and character limits stay intact.
  • Gender-neutral German where the project calls for it.
  • Large initial batches and later content updates in the same terminology.
