Hi there, my name is Marianna! I am an experienced English-German translator, bug hunter, and linguaphile.

Video games have been my passion ever since I was a little girl and my parents brought home an Atari 2600, nearly a lifetime ago. Then in 2004 I got my first localization tester job with Nintendo; I’ve been professionally hooked since.

However, life is a miraculous game, and being a human with many passions, I see many open endings.

I’m semi-retired from the game translation world while I explore other worlds. However, I’m available for meaningful narrative games as well as cultural consulting.

In the meantime, this other alter ego of mine is demanding a lot of nurturing at the moment.
