The four landings

Every language gets its own native hand

We keep to four languages so each one has a writer and a second reader who know games, not a rotating pool. Here is what each landing asks of your build.

Spanish

Neutral Latin American by default, with a Castilian version on request. We settle tú, usted or vos with you before the first line is drafted.

Brazil first

Portuguese

Written for Brazil, where the players are. European Portuguese is a separate quoted pass, never a find-and-replace.

Japanese

Honorific level, furigana and line width are agreed first. Expect us to ask about your font, as kanji can change a layout overnight.

German

Long compounds are the trouble. We write short where we can and flag any field that will not hold a word like Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung.

The fares

Two passages, one fee each

Prefer everything handled together? These bundle the manifest above into a single fee for all four languages.

Questions we expect

Before you book

Is the fee really fixed?

Yes. We count your words before quoting, and the figure holds unless the scope changes. If it does, we tell you before any extra work begins.

Do you work from a build or just a file?

Either, though a build or screenshots let us catch problems a spreadsheet hides. QA is only possible with one or the other.

Do you sign an NDA?

Gladly, and we prefer yours. We sign before any file changes hands.

Can I book a single language?

Yes. Use the manifest prices per language, and we’ll confirm the exact fee in your quote.

Your release date is the only thing we need to begin.
