About me

Hello! I’m Elina.
I’m a translator specialised in video game localisation, working from English into French. In 2018, my Master's degree in hand, I decided to combine my love for words and my passion for gaming.Seasoned gamer by passion, I’m very comfortable in the gaming world and will know how to reach your audience, because I’m part of it!

I’ve also always loved reading, and to me it’s all about the same thing: telling a story.
I enjoy playing with different tones of voice, finding the perfect equivalent to a pun, adapting a poem so it will still rime… And sometimes it’s just practical, you also need someone to translate the menu so that French gamers don’t run away!So for all your needs of gaming localisation into French, of all genres
from cosy Life Sim to Shooters, through Adventure and RPG games,
please feel free to contact me!

…Also, I’m part of the Warlocs Collective!
If you need more languages, I can get in touch with my fellow game loc experts from all over the world to help you with your project.

Translation

I translate your game and all related texts from English into French, making them accessible to the French-speaking public.

Proofreading

I review the content to make sure everything is properly translated and adapted to the French audience, and verify terminology consistency.

LQA

I play the game in French to check how the localized content appear on screen, and rectify as needed.

Here’s what I can translate for you:

In-game texts (dialogues, subtitles, letters, etc.)
UI and menu elements
Marketing texts (store page, social media, etc.)
Legal content (contest rules, privacy policy etc.)
And more, feel free to ask!

Did you know...

…That video gaming in France is one of the largest markets in Europe?
Indeed, today, there are more than 36 million gamers in France.
Mobile, PC, console games, consumption of gaming streaming content, the numbers keep growing.

And did you know that French is the fifth most spoken language in the world? France is a proud nation that protects its language and culture, and the majority of French people prefer to enjoy content in their native language.

Imagine, so many potential clients who would miss your amazing game because it’s not available in French!
Such a shame.
That’s why I’m here!
