Bio

My name is Néstor Aponte. I am a seasoned translator with over 5 years of experience in translation and subtitling, and over 1 year in game localization.

I specialize in translation, subtitling, and localization of AAA video games, indie games, websites, films, sports-related material, comics, mangas, and more. In addition, I am an enthusiast reader (fiction and non-fiction books, light novels, comics, manga, etc.), gamer, and cinephile. Thus, my linguistic background combined with that experience helps me create translations that are both accurate and culturally accessible to the target audience.

My job is to make your product as familiar to locals as possible.

How do I do this?

Linguistic accuracy: This means translating and localizing YOUR PRODUCT taking into account several aspects of the target language and culture.

Coherence: With the help of memory tools such as memoQ, Memsource, Trados, Wordfast, and OmegaT, I deliver precise and coherent translations.

No matter the size of the project or your company, I will deliver the best quality possible. Besides, I like being in touch with my clients to clear any of their doubts, so you may contact me all day long.

This is what you can expect from me:

Translation and localization of AAA video games, indie games.

Translation and localization of websites, IT content, sports-related material, and more.

Translation of comics, mangas, cartoons, fiction and non-fiction light novels, and books.

Translation, subtitling, and time-coding for films, TV shows, documentaries, animated series, you name it!

You want your product to reach a wider public and to gain more visibility, and I want to make that happen.


I have been involved in the translation and proofreading of some game localization projects, such as World Golf Tour (PC), Everwing (Facebook), Headmaster (PS4), among others.

Also, I have translated and subtitled projects (Criminal Minds, Chopped Canada, Peaky Blinders, SoundBreaking, Sensitive Skin, etc.) for major TV networks such as HBO Latin American Group, Canal Sony, DirecTV, History, etc.  


If you would like to know more about my services or ask me anything, contact me!

Best wishes!
