During my years as a freelance translator, localiser and tester, I have been working closely with other language professionals, creating a big multilingual team of localisers to help you with your projects. I will now introduce them to you:

She holds an MA in Audiovisual translation and she did her dissertation about Quality Assurance in Videogames. She is reliable and always available to enrol in any translation adventure I offer to her. Her excellent command of Spanish is an advantage, as she can always work with the English and the Spanish text to give that extra cool feel to her German texts.
Céline Pérez-Davin
She is a English and Spanish into French translator. I met Céline back in 2008, while I was working at Eidos, as she was part of the team of testers I was coordinating for one of the projects. She is a hard-working professional and I have work with her in several translation projects ever since. Fast, reliable and enthusiastic, with an excellent command of English and Spanish. What else I could ask?
