It's-a me-a—Marianna!

My name is Marianna Sacra, and I am a passionate English-German translator, fierce bug hunter, language lover, and a perfectionist.

My background

I was born and lived most of my life in Germany. I graduated as Foreign Language Correspondent from the Würzburg Interpreter School in 2003 and began working at Nintendo of Europe in Frankfurt, Germany, some months later. There I fell in love with video game localization and became a professional bug hunter and translator.

After 7 great years of working in different positions at Nintendo, I worked at a small localization company in Málaga, Spain, and then in Berlin, Germany. I am now freelancing from Boston, Massachusetts.

Fun facts:

  • My first home console was the Atari 2600 — and I still have it today.

  • My favorite games are those that tell a moving story, like Bury Me, My Love.

  • When I got my Gameboy one magical Christmas in the 1990s, I spent the first months dreaming of tetriminos (and constantly trying to steal it back from my Mom)
