🎮 🇮🇹 EN>IT Translator | Video Game Localization Specialist | MTPE | PhD | Localization Engineer Hi! I’m Andrea — a EN>IT translator and video game localization specialist with 5+ years of experience and a PhD in Applied Linguistics. I’ve worked with industry leaders like Keywords Studios and SferaDeluxe, taking on roles ranging from translator to MTPE specialist, LQA reviewer, and localization engineer. Here’s what I bring to the table: • EN>IT Translation & Transcreation • Machine Translation Post-Editing • Linguistic QA & Proofreading • Localization Engineering (JSON, XML, CSV, placeholders, RegEx, QA automation) • Prompt Engineering for LLM-driven workflows • Terminology management & style guide creation • Console and cross-platform adaptation (PS5, Xbox, Switch, PC) While many of my projects are under strict NDA, I can share credits and direct references upon request. I’ve contributed to global releases, full game localizations, and complex QA pipelines. I combine linguistic intuition with deep technical know-how, ensuring content that flows naturally, works across platforms, and respects tone, context, and audience. 💬 If you’re looking for someone who can handle both the words and the workflow, I’m ready to help. Let’s create something players won’t even realize was localized!
