Comprehensive knowledge of the culture and how communication principles change across cultures gives me the diversity to provide you with the best translation, copywriting, and localization you need for your document.
I am a talented, ambitious, hardworking individual with broad skills plus experience in specific translations. I am adept at handling multiple tasks competently and work well under pressure. A key strength is my communication skills, which build strong relationships with people to deliver the best results.
When localizing your document, I do not just translate the words because you lose the actual tone or meaning of the original text. Instead, I use my copywriting skills to create a coherent flowing of text in the style of the original message. In my English translation, I continually rework specific ideas to resonate with the Italian significance of the original document. It is never straightforward as a literal translation that often generates confusion. English has many words with different meanings, and context is critical. As a Native English mother tongue speaker, I can translate the right words that create the tone portrayed in your document.

Localization Quality Assurance (LQA) Tester:
Linguistic QA: I can check the quality of the text’s translation. Being a Native English tester, I discover if there are any punctuational, grammatical, style, and spelling errors throughout the game’s text. I check for inconsistencies in translations and character dialog. I search for the natural flow of the language, no broken or slang text, and the use of appropriate cultural words. Not just alphabetical text is under this category, but also numerical, with the correct usage of numerical formats and metric and currency conversions.
Visual QA: I look for graphical text bugs and evaluate the game’s UI/UX, such as; if the text doesn’t fit into the area provided, if the name and object do not match the item and if an item’s description is correct. Incorrect reference or image to the character, technical/missing text in titles of different game sections, the image of the item is absent in the window, and so on. I perform the Compliance test on the various operating platforms; Android, iOS, PC, etc., checking that the items fit in the screens and are positioned correctly.
Functional QA: For this category, I am looking at how the game functions, these types of errors usually need to be changed with codes and are on the more major critical side of bug reports. I check if the game works with the keyboard functions or controller. I ensure the button links or other links go where they are required to go, and the game runs smoothly without crashes or freezing. Graphics missing or invisible are errors that also hinder the game’s functionality.
As a tester, I describe the bug, the steps to reproduce it, the expected result, and the severity of the issue. I use Snagit and Snagit Editor to create linguistic and graphical bug screenshots. All bug reports are updated in the designated lockit file and/or in the online reporting system used by your company.
