How I can help
German, at every
stage of your game.
A first release, a fresh pair of eyes or the next update — we agree the scope around what your project actually needs.
01
Your first
German release.
Dialogue with character. UI that makes sense. Store copy that sounds right. I translate from your English source and keep the German voice consistent.
IN-GAME TEXT · UI · STORE COPY · TERMINOLOGY
02
A fresh pair
of eyes.
Already have German text? I review it against the English, resolve terminology issues and check the language in-game when LQA is part of the brief.
REVIEW · MTPE · LINGUISTIC QA
03
New content.
The same voice.
New strings, a content update or a new Steam description: I can keep working with your existing terminology and style as your game evolves.
UPDATES · RELEASE NOTES · MARKETING
Working together
A clear process.
A direct line to me.
You’ll know what I’m delivering, when to expect it and who to ask when something needs context.
01 / THE BRIEF
Show me your game.
Send a link, a text sample and your target date. An approximate word count helps, but you don’t need a perfect brief to get in touch.
02 / THE SCOPE
Agree what’s included.
I confirm the work, price, delivery date and any review or LQA requirements before we start.
03 / THE WORK
Translate. Check. Refine.
I work with your references, keep terminology consistent and bundle questions so you can answer them efficiently.
04 / THE DELIVERY
Ready for your workflow.
Receive the agreed files in your project format. We can arrange in-game LQA and future content as needed.
Hi, I’m Dominik
The person behind
your German version.
English → GermanRostock, GermanyFull-time since April 2020
I’m a German game localization specialist working directly with studios and publishers, as well as through established localization service providers.
My work spans narrative, dialogue, UI, review, linguistic QA and marketing copy. I’m particularly drawn to games with a distinct voice — from indie horror and surreal worlds to character-driven adventures.
You’ll work directly with me on your brief, questions and delivery. I want the German text to feel like it belongs in your game.
