Work with Eva Léger!

A video games translator and a storyteller at heart.

I have a master’s degree in translation, but here’s what you really need to know: deep down, I’m a storyteller, and, overall, stories addict, whatever form they may take.

Translating video games is a passion:

• real-life gamer
• passionate about languages and translating
• all the stories!

I see myself as translating not only your words but also who you are, where you’re coming from, and what you want.

Over my 5 years of experience, I have translated:

• video games, obviously. I was awarded a prize at the LocJam localization contest in 2015 for the indie game Grandpa (which is a gem; you should play it).
• articles and newsletters
• brochures
• presentations
• subtitling Ted Talks

I have a keen interest in, you guessed it, stories, may they be literature, video games, or journalism. I love working on scary stories as much as social issues such as feminism or LGBTQ+ questions.

What to expect when you work with me

• accuracy, attention to detail, punctuality, which should be a given
• stories that come to life seamlessly to a French audience
• a willingness to know you and understand who you are and where your story comes from
• a whacky sense of humor

If you must really know

I interrupted my thriving career as a freelance translator in 2015, thinking it would only be a few weeks, maybe months. My husband had brutally passed away the year before; I buried myself in work and ended up severely burnt out.

It took me a few years to get back on my feet.

After a project I really liked failed to come to life (a bookstore and coffee shop), I had to wonder: when in my professional life was I the happiest?

The answer was easy: when I was a translator, deliciously diving in people’s stories and passing them on in my own language.
