I'm Mert Görkem Önses, an English-Turkish game localization specialist based in Ankara.
You are looking for words that feel native inside the game, not just correct on a spreadsheet.
I translate, edit, test, and tune game text so tone, culture, UI limits and player experience stay intact.
I'm an English<>Turkish game localization specialist working across indie, mobile, PC and live-service pipelines. My scope covers translation, LQA, proofreading, MTPE, SDH subtitling and terminology management.
I focus on player-facing text: dialogue, UI, tutorials, achievements, marketing copy and style-guide consistency. The goal is simple: Turkish that fits the game, the screen and the player.
I hold a BA in Translation & Interpreting from Hacettepe University and an English C2 certification. Before games, I translated literary SF and political theory, which still shapes how I handle tone, voice and register.
