Hi, I’m Cristina,
Translator, Copywriter & Video Game Localization Specialist
I translate and adapt texts and manuscripts into natural, clear Italian that feels right to your audience — without losing your tone, style, or original intent.
I craft strategic, high-performing content that speaks to your audience, boosts your visibility, and turns words into real results.
I localize dialogues, UI, and in-game content to create an authentic, immersive experience — staying true to your narrative world and player experience. Because I’m a passionate gamer myself, I don’t just translate games — I understand them.
But the truth is, words only work when they speak to the right people.
Many rely on machine translation or low-cost solutions that seem convenient at first, but often create distance between you and your audience.
To me, translation isn’t a mechanical task.
It’s a craft built on listening, precision, culture, and passion.
Translating means stepping into the mind of the person who writes…
and into the heart of the person who will read.
And that’s how every word becomes a bridge, not a barrier.
Whether you need a text translated, a video game or software localized, a manuscript edited, or content created for your brand, I always start with one question:
👉 What should your readers feel when they read your words?
Do they feel understood?
Do they identify with your voice?
Do they realize you’re exactly the solution they’ve been searching for?
They should feel engaged, understood, and in the right place.
That's why I don't simply translate, edit, or write. I craft messages that stay true to your voice, strengthen your identity, and build genuine connections with your audience. Because words can be much more than text on a page: they can become a bridge between ideas, people, and cultures.
And that’s where my commitment lies: in creating translations and content that truly work.
For the real people who will read your texts.
Because in the end, they’re the ones who decide whether to trust you, choose your brand, your product, your voice, your vision.



Words on the move, clients at your door

Non basta tradurre le parole: bisogna far arrivare intatto ciò che vogliono dire. Creo traduzioni naturali, accurate e pensate per il pubblico italiano, rispettando voce, contesto e obiettivi di ogni progetto.

Un videogioco deve sembrare nato nella lingua di chi lo gioca. Localizzo dialoghi, UI e contenuti di gioco preservando voce, atmosfera e intenzioni originali, con la massima attenzione agli spazi ridotti e alle sfide che ogni stringa può nascondere.

Un buon sottotitolo si legge senza farsi notare. Traduco e adatto contenuti audiovisivi con attenzione a ritmo, leggibilità e naturalezza, perché testo, immagini e voce raccontino sempre la stessa storia.

Essere trovati è importante. Farsi leggere e ricordare lo è ancora di più. Creo e adatto contenuti che parlano alle persone prima ancora che agli algoritmi, unendo ricerca, scrittura naturale e obiettivi SEO.

Un testo può essere corretto e continuare a non funzionare. Per questo non mi fermo a refusi e grammatica: intervengo su chiarezza, coerenza, fluidità e tono per restituire testi accurati che suonino davvero naturali.

Imparare una lingua non dovrebbe significare soltanto memorizzare regole. Costruisco percorsi chiari e personalizzati che trasformano teoria e difficoltà in strumenti concreti, rispettando obiettivi, livello e ritmo di ogni persona, con metodo e approccio basati sul videogioco.

Dai un’occhiata ai miei profili e workplace online:

I believe every story deserves to be understood in its most natural language. That’s what has always fascinated me: turning words into bridges and making worlds accessible whereas they might otherwise remain out of reach.
I’m a curious, detail-oriented, and deeply empathetic person. I enjoy observing, listening and capturing nuances — in texts as much as in people.
Video games have taught me how to step inside narrative worlds and experience them from within; art has shaped my sense of harmony and attention to detail; sport has instilled discipline. All of this is reflected in the way I work today: immersive, attentive, and structured.
