DRAWING PLAYERS INTO YOUR STORY

"I recommend playing in French as the dubbing is really well done, it’s great to have a good-quality French version."

"The game is just as great to play in French as it is in Japanese".

"[…] it’s mightily well written considering the genre, and the French translation is really neat. And so is the dubbing."

"It was a pleasure to work with Raphaël. Very conscientious and detail oriented, he did detailed research to adapt his translations to our project. The quality of his work added to his consistent timely delivery makes him a trustworthy resource that I warmly recommend!"

"I’ve known Raph since 2013 and he has consistently proven himself to be a highly productive and reliable English to French translator with a great sense of humor. Raph has brought joy to our French customers and translated numerous word-heavy projects for us over the years and delivered his projects in a timely manner. Raph has been quick to communicate relevant and accurate feedback to our in-house team of linguists and game developers. I’d recommend Raph for any English to French translation projects. Raph is a joy to work with!”

"Raphael has been cooperating with us for over a year now on continuous basis, and we always turn to him when we need French translations. The reason for this is that Raphael's professionalism is unmatched - he always delivers on time, in high quality, he often goes beyond the call of duty pointing to potential problems, he gives us hints about the legacy texts to fix even if he does not have to and he always keeps us posted about the project status. I appreciate his problem-solving attitude and the willingness to put everything into his work, to make sure he delivers nothing but quality. He is also friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend his services!"

“And if the game provides ongoing pleasure for the eyes, the same can be said of the ears, that will delight in an excellent quality French translation (only in the form of subtitles, unfortunately)."

"This was a very good adaptation, combining creative translation and linguistic perfection. Some of the headlines were genuinely funny and no doubt made set this work apart from other very high quality submissions (the delightful "Gloire au Grand Travesti", for example). Any colloquialisms were also extremely well rendered ; the whole text makes for a very fluent read and fully conveys the atmosphere of the game, as well as the irony-impregnated critique of dictatorial regimes. Congratulations!"

"We have contracted Raphaël for a number of years and continue to be impressed by his professionalism and the quality of his localization services. He consistently delivers impeccable translations while demonstrating an excellence of care and attention with every single one of our projects. We know our translation requests are in good hands with Raphaël, regardless of the word count, whether it is a short marketing bit or the text of our next hit game!"

"We were extremely happy with Raphaël's service! We contracted Raphaël to translate our game Legends of Solitaire: Curse of the Dragons from English to French after being recommended by Big Fish Games. He was professional and extremely quick in the translation, and produced a great result for us. We plan to use Raphaël again in the near future."

"Raphaël and I worked together in-house as French translators more than ten years go, and we remained collaborators as freelancers since then. I was impressed from the start by his professionalism, his passion for translation and for video games, and his mastery of the French language. His work ethic is unmatched. Today, Raphaël is the only one I trust with my translation projects when I am unavailable for my clients, and I am confident that he will consistently deliver creative and accurate translations. I admire his inventiveness in creating the perfect names for video games creatures and items, his outstanding style in writing dialogues and stories that really set the scene and draw the player in, and his attention to detail and ability to research the subject extensively."

"Humour is omnipresent in the game, be it in Elisabeth’s comments, in situations like Romeo and Juliet’s skeletons doing a charleston dance, or in the flamboyant protagonists: the journalist Claire Chacal [inspired by the name of a French TV journalist], Professor Krankenstein, or the old pirate-turned-miller drinking his morning milk while confessing he’s given up on the ladies (“ne court plus la gueuse”)."

Ever-present humour, very funny character names, really comical animals and characters.

"Raphaël is an excellent translator and mentor. Working with him has been the most formative experience as he taught me everything there is to know about translation and localization. As a dedicated linguist, he is always looking for the best way to convey meaning and will not give up until he finds it. Tenacious, passionate and hard-working, Raphaël is someone I would trust with any project as I know he will give it his very best."

"Nice music and the French localization is not bad at all."
