Work with Vasilis Tziovaras!

Six years ago, I was tested to begin working with an agency on game localization projects. That test back then was meant to be the decisive factor for one of my most fruitful collaborations to date.

I had to translate puns, wordplays, and rhyming text with strict text character limits (graphical text inside speech bubbles or store signs, etc.), as well as sophisticated and code-rich user-interface content.

I thrived to an extent that the test’s reviewer commented on the fact that it was the best test he had seen for that content in specific.

If this piqued your interest, it will be my pleasure to fill you in on the details!

Three years ago, I was assigned the Greek translation and localization part of a leading air ticket corporation’s products (website, apps, communication content, etc.).

There was an instance I had to translate/transliterate a huge list of uncommon but visit-worthy destinations all across the world.

I dealt with this in a quality-assuring method. I first researched if there was a widely used Greek equivalent for the location in question and then, consulted native people’s pronunciations through several means to ensure that once a Greek decided to visit the place, they would ask a native for instructions in a language the latter understands.

This entailed a huge amount of research, and I am particularly proud of finding such an effective way to translate proper names that had not been translated before.

Two years ago, I finished the English>Greek subtitle translation part of a documentary about a pioneering technology for producing drinkable water, which is going to be revealed in the near future.

The amount of research I had to make was really unprecedented.

A term puzzled me: the process of flashing a toilet. In Greek, we have one way to say this—a too lengthy and inappropriate one to use. I did find a workaround, but what’s interesting is that I managed to find another term on an old Greek monolingual technical encyclopedia I had from the 70’s. It was incomprehensible by the typical Greek viewer, so I didn’t use it, but it was nowhere to be found on the web!

This is quite representative of how rich my resources are and what lengths I am eager to achieve in order to provide high quality.
