About this Gig
Game Localization EN to Ukrainian & Russian. Trusted by indie hits with 1M+ players.
I'm Nazarii - a native bilingual localizer (UA & RU) with a PhD in communications. I translate, edit, and playtest every line myself, so your game feels native in both languages.
What you get:
- In-game text, UI, dialogue adapted to character limits and grammatical cases
- Glossary for consistent terminology across updates and DLC
- LQA on real builds I play through and flag display bugs
- Steam page localization that converts in UA/RU markets
- Native file support: .json, .po, .xliff, .strings, Unity/Unreal exports
Shipped titles:
- Terminus: Zombie Survivors 100K+ copies, Steam
- Realm of Ink 100K+ copies, Steam
- Obsidian Knight 1M+ downloads, mobile
- Skyformer, Tearscape, Arcadian Atlas, CodeCombat and 25+ more
One person owns your project end-to-end translation, editing, LQA. No outsourcing, no MT post-editing. Consistent across both languages because it's all me.
Send me your file + platform + deadline. I'll reply within an hour (Lviv, GMT+2) with a quote.

FAQ
Do you actually playtest the game, or just translate strings?
On Standard and Premium packages, yes — I play through your build and verify that strings display correctly, fit UI containers, and feel natural in context. Send me a Steam key or build link.
Do you handle placeholders, tags, and variables (like %s, {playerName}, <color=red>)?
Yes. I preserve all code tags, variables, and rich text formatting exactly as in the source. If a variable affects grammatical gender or case in Ukrainian/Russian, I'll flag it and suggest a rewrite that works in both languages.
Do you use ChatGPT or machine translation?
No. Every word is translated by me manually. I use CAT tools (Crowdin, Localise, Trados) for consistency, not generation.
Can you work directly with my .json / .strings / .po file?
Yes, send the source file. I'll return the same file with translations, ready for build.
What if a string doesn't fit the UI?
I'll flag it and propose a shorter alternative that preserves meaning.
