I do translation from English to Indonesian and vice versa

I’m a native speaker of both English and Indonesian and currently learning a variety of other languages. I’ve always been fascinated in how ideas can shift as they are transmitted between different languages and cultures and what we can do to guide that.

I specialize in writing natural-sounding dialogues, taking care to also transmit tone, nuance, and intent. Most of my experience is in translating prose, graphic novels and video games.

I’m currently open for freelance work, both commercial and non-commercial!

Games

I took part in LocJAM 5 and translated the adventure game Intergalactic Wizard Force into Indonesian. My translation can be played straight on the browser!

I was one of the contributors for Touhou Patch Center’s community translation of games in the Touhou Series. Most of my work is on the Indonesian version of Th14: Double Dealing Characters and Th07: Perfect Cherry Blossoms where I do most of the translation and editing.

Comics

I was hired by Miao Translation to translate a couple of manhuas (Chinese comic/webtoon) from English to Indonesian. The comics were originally in Chinese and I could not contact the English translators, but I did my best to keep the translation natural and consistent.

Manhuas I’ve translated include: Oh My Little White Dragon, My Childhood Sweetheart is a Star, and Upon the White Tiger.

Prose

I occassionally translate short stories and post them in my blog or here in this site. Here are some of my favourite translations:
