◆Merits of Working with a Freelance Translator◆

•The same translator handles your project from start to finish, making it easier to keep terminology, tone, and writing style consistent.
•You can communicate with the translator directly, which makes it easier to clarify context, character voice, UI usage, or preferred terminology.
•For smaller projects such as demos, store pages, updates, manga, audio works, or indie games, a freelance translator can often offer more flexible support.

​

◆Things to Keep in Mind◆

•As I work independently, very large-volume or urgent projects may not always be possible depending on my current schedule.
•If you require additional services such as English LQA, native review, or post-release revisions, please let me know in advance so that we can discuss the scope separately.

•As I operate as an individual freelance translator and not as an incorporated company, I may not be able to accept your request if your company is only able to work with corporate vendors.
(However, I do issue quotations and invoices. If your company requires a specific format or specific details to be included, please let me know before placing your request.)
