Vasileios Papathanasiou
English to Greek localization
Hey, I'm a Greek developer and native speaker that's also fluent in English. I build apps in Flutter and games in Godot, so I'm familiar with dev processes, from string files and placeholders to how text actually fits on screen, and I know how to translate naturally.
Want a sample first? Send me around 300 words, or your store listing, and I'll translate it for free.

The same screen in English, in raw machine translation, and in my Greek. Pick machine Greek to scan it.
Switch to machine Greek to scan this screen.
Accents left on capital letters. Greek drops them in all-caps, so ΣΥΝ[[Έ]]ΧΕΙΑ, [[Έ]]ΞΟΔΟΣ and ΝΑ[[Ί]] are all wrong.
"Save" came out as ΣΩΣΕ, as in "save someone's life", not saving your game.
Too long for the button. ΓΡΑΦΙΚΑ is shorter and just as clear.
"Quit" as in quitting a job, and the formal "you" in a casual game.
Formal "you" again, and the gold left as one lump. Greek counts the coins.
Title Case copied from English, and the wrong gender for σπαθί.

What I take on
I use translation tools to go faster, but I go over every line myself.
