Silvia M.
Italian Translator, Localization Specialist, Proofreader & Editor
I am an Italian translator, localization specialist, proofreader, and editor with 12 years of professional experience in the language industry, having worked continuously since 2014. As a full-time freelance linguist, I help international brands, agencies, and publishers connect with Italian-speaking audiences through accurate, engaging, and culturally adapted content tailored to their target markets. My core services encompass English-to-Italian translation, localization, editing, proofreading, MTPE, transcreation, copywriting, and LQA. Over the years, I have covered a wide array of sectors, developing particular expertise in gaming and digital products such as video games, software UI, mobile apps, websites, e-commerce, and technical documentation, as well as creative industries including marketing campaigns, advertising, publishing, literary translation, and entertainment media. My experience also extends to specialized domains such as medical and pharmaceutical content, finance, and tourism. Whether I am localizing a video game, transcreating marketing copy, refining software UI, translating a novel, or post-editing machine-translated text, my priority is always linguistic accuracy, cultural relevance, and natural fluency. I scrupulously adhere to brand voice, terminology, and style guides to ensure that localized content resonates perfectly with native speakers while preserving the original message and intent. As a Top Rated freelancer with hundreds of 5-star reviews, I take pride in delivering top-tier work on schedule and building long-term professional partnerships based on trust, reliability, and clear communication. I am available six days a week and would be delighted to discuss your project and how I can help bring your content to Italian audiences.
