Testimonials
Reviews from gamers and recommendations from clients!
"I've worked with Somyeong on a few different projects, and it's always been a great experience. Somyeong gets everything done on time, pays close attention to our comments, and is always super easy to communicate with. Thanks so much for all your hard work!" ⮺— Olga Bodiak, Localization Manager at ChillBase
"Somyeong is one of the most reliable translators I ever worked with. He delivers on time without fail, with fast turnaround and with superb quality - so much so that proofreaders immediately demand him back when they notice a different translator filling in, since the contrast to an average translation is too noticeable. Highly recommended." ⮺— Manuel Zöller, Project Manager at Lionbridge
"We have been working with Somyeong since 2020. Somyeong is a remarkable translator, high level professional and a friendly and open person with a superior understanding of English and game localization. Somyeong always proves to be very reactive, always punctual with deliveries and provides high-quality translations." ⮺
