Video Game Localization
Hi! My name is Lucas, and you’ve reached a checkpoint:
from here on out, I’ll be the guide for your message to reach Brazilian audiences.
Our journey will be one of collaborative work – translating not just the text, but the tone, emotion, and experience behind it.
My mission as a game localization specialist is to help developers and LSPs to create truly immersive Brazilian Portuguese versions of games.

The journey begins
What tools do we need to ensure successful gameloc-ing?
Ample experience with CAT Tools, enabling efficient management of translation memory and termbases to ensure consistency.
My go-to is memoQ, but I can use your preferred one with no hitches;
Positive communication, which translates to a healthy feedback dynamic with project managers that is based on mutual respect, punctuality and being proactive;
Context! Whatever the goal, it can always be reached easier when you have a map.
Character disposition, background stories and style guides make a world of a difference in the end result of a localization process, especially in games, where audience relatability is key.
A lifelong passion for games, both in English and Brazilian Portuguese, which helps in using established gaming industry terminology.
