EN-RU Translator & Localization Specialist / Media, Game Localization

EN–RU translator and localization specialist focused on long-term projects in media content, video platforms, and game localization. I help teams deliver natural, audience-ready Russian without literal translations. I’m an EN–RU translator with C2 (Proficiency) English, specializing in media and video content localization, YouTube translation and annotation, and game localization (EN / ZH → RU). I have hands-on experience working on large-scale, ongoing projects with localization agencies and content platforms, including long-term cooperation with Productive Playhouse. My work focuses on consistency, terminology accuracy, and adaptation for real users — not word-for-word translation. I’m comfortable working with high volumes, established workflows, and quality guidelines. Services I provide: • EN–RU translation & localization • Video and media content localization • YouTube translation, annotation, and transcription • Game localization • Educational and technical content translation Tools: SmartCAT, Memsource 📩 Open to long-term contracts and ongoing cooperation with agencies, studios, and content platforms.
