Portfolio / selected game localization work

16+ years.
500+ games.
Still having fun.

I’ve had the awesome privilege of working on everything from massive AAA releases to wonderfully strange indie games. I translate, edit, test and polish games for Russian players — and somehow this still feels like a ridiculously cool way to make a living.

Selected work

The “oh, I know that one” section.

AAA horror, strange indies, strategy, shooters, RPGs and projects that are harder to explain than to play. Here are a few recent favourites.

What kind of work?

Not just “translated the game.”

Some games need a translator. Some need an editor, tester, terminology wrangler and professional context detective. I’m comfortable wearing several hats.

📝

Translation

Narrative, dialogue, UI, tutorials, items, quests and all the glue holding the game together.

✂️

Editing

Turning accurate text into Russian that feels written, performed and paced naturally.

🕹️

LQA

Checking the actual build for context, UI fit, variables, gender, truncation and all the fun things screenshots reveal.

📣

Marketing

Store pages, announcements, campaigns and copy that has to make somebody click “Wishlist.”

Live from LinkedIn

Recent launches. Fresh receipts.

A few things I’ve helped ship lately — plus the occasional victory lap, thank-you post and reminder that game localization is a very strange way to spend a career.

The project library

Okay, now we can nerd out.

Big releases, tiny indies, horror, strategy, mobile, VR and more. Browse the highlights below — and if curiosity wins, the archive goes much deeper.

Filter by the localization work I handled — card tags stay focused on project type and genre.

Got a game?

Let’s make Russian players feel like it was made for them.

Send me the files, platform, word count and timeline. If it’s weird, complicated or full of jokes, even better.
