Why human translation
A machine can carry words across a border. It cannot carry a running gag, a nickname that lands three arcs later, or the exact temperature of a confession. Our translators live inside the story, so your readers never feel the seam.
What we do
Three crafts,
one obsession.
Webtoon localization
Dialogue that fits the bubble and the beat. Translation, adaptation and proofing tuned for vertical-scroll pacing, SFX handling and character voice, honed on official WEBTOON platform work.
Game localization
Strings with story in them. UI, lore, quest text and live-ops events localized with context. Playable builds are reviewed in-engine so nothing reads like a spreadsheet cell.

How a chapter travels
Six hands touch
every chapter.
No shortcuts, no raw machine output shipped to readers. Every release walks the same road, and QA stands at three of the six gates.
-
01
Story bible & glossary
Before a single line moves, we map the world: character voices, honorifics policy, naming romanization, running gags, power systems. One living glossary rules the whole series.
series lead + client -
02
Human translation
A dedicated translator, not a rotating pool, carries the story across. Same hands, same voice, chapter 1 through chapter 400. Context notes travel with every file.
dedicated translator -
03
Bilingual accuracy check QA gate 1
A second linguist reads the translation against the Korean source, line by line. Mistranslations, dropped nuance and glossary drift get flagged and resolved, not papered over.
bilingual checker -
04
Line editing
A native-English editor works the prose until it flows: rhythm, register, dialogue that sounds like people. The goal is that readers forget it was ever translated.

05
Continuity & consistency pass QA gate 2
Names, titles, timelines and tone, checked against the series bible and every previously released chapter. Serialized fiction lives or dies on memory; ours is written down.
QA specialist -
06
Final proof & platform QA QA gate 3
A last cold read, then formatting checks in the target platform itself: line breaks, italics, chapter headers, bubble fit or string length. Only then does it ship.
