English & Spanish > Portuguese (Brazil) | 4+ years of experience
Specializing in localization services for games and apps, I help several developers and publishers to break the language barrier and bring their products to the Portuguese-speaking community with top-notch quality for a reasonable price.
Got a question or want a free quote for your project?
Did you know that Brazilian Portuguese is the 4th most spoken language on Steam*? Brazil is also the 2nd largest country for Google Play*; only the United States download more games and apps. However, only 11%* of the Brazilian population is able to communicate in English.
Brazil is overall a huge market for video games and apps, and investing into localization will insert your product in this
ever-growing market and unlock a great potential to increase your audience substantially.
With over 3 years of experience and having worked with both big companies and indie developers, I’ve become a very versatile and dedicated translator. You can count on me to provide you the absolute best localization service. And don't worry about prices just now, I have flexible rates that can be adjusted to your personal needs and budget.
Simple text file? Working with variables and markup languages? Or maybe you need a localized version of graphic elements?
All of these are no-brainers to me. Join me and we'll work together to make your product reach the next level!
The fields I'm most experienced in are video games and softwares, but I'm also capable of working on a variety of other products and different topics. Here are some of the translation services I usually provide:
I work with several file formats such as .doc, .pdf, .xls, .json, .csv, .xml and .resx for texts, and .psd for images.
Extract your files and send them over for translation
Receive an estimate and pay your invoice securely online
Get your translated files in the estimated delivery date and deploy your translation
It’s done! Enjoy your new sales and the love from your fans who can now experience your product in their
native language
Following the industry standard, my translations are charged on a cost per word basis.
The number of words is calculated based on the source language (English).
I usually charge between $0.06 and $0.11 per word depending on the project's topic, complexity and many variables. I'll include a detailed breakdown of how your total translation cost was calculated on your invoice.
My rates are flexible and we can always discuss everything to adapt it to your budget or particular needs. Long-term partnerships (as in continuous updates after launch, for instance) are very welcome and may have special rates to better suit your project; just let me know what you're looking for and we'll work together to ensure you make a good deal.
Translation agencies usually hire freelancers, just like me, to translate your files. That means you'll end up not only paying for the translation, but also coping with the agency's infrastructure costs and their profit margin, which will likely make your project much more expensive.
Hiring my services directly will grant you a cheaper translation with the same or even higher quality, since I'm highly experienced and follow standard QA procedures to make sure your translated files are 100% error free. Besides, working without a middleman means we'll always be in touch personally, so you can reach me directly for any questions or new requests.
I'm a very versatile and dedicated translator; I always do careful research on the topic/product before starting any translation to make sure I'm able to provide a perfect and very accurate work. However, the fields I'm most experienced in are video games, apps and softwares.
The distance between Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking nations is not just a matter of geography. Although the language originated in Portugal, there are several cultural and historical differences between Brazilian and European Portuguese that turned .
I work with several file formats such as .doc, .pdf, .xls, .json, .csv, .xml and .resx for texts, and .psd for images.
Here are some of the products I have translated.
Please keep in mind that most of the projects I'm currently working on or have worked on in the past cannot be revealed because of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), but those responsible for the projects below were kind enough to let me list them.

He even went the extra mile to check how the text appeared in the game and notified us of a few places where we needed to make some adjustments.
