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 localization specialist with experience across AAA, indie and mobile titles. My work covers translation, LQA, editing, MTPE, SDH subtitling and terminology management.
Before games, I translated literary fiction: three Alastair Reynolds stories and Leonard Hobhouse's Liberalism (1911). That background still shapes how I work. A sentence can be technically correct and still fail to sound like a person; games need that distinction more than most.
I hold a BA in Translation & Interpreting from Hacettepe University and an English C2 certification. I work remotely, follow style guides closely, and meet deadlines.
