I am Anthony Teixeira, an independent native French translator and proofreader working from English and Japanese. I have worked in professional translation since 2009 and as a freelancer since 2011. Based in Japan, I help software teams, game developers and localization companies prepare content for French-speaking users.
My background in IT and software development helps me work with technical terminology, user interfaces and the practical constraints of localization. You communicate directly with the translator handling your project, from the initial brief to questions after delivery.

French translation for software, SaaS and games
- Software and SaaS localization: user interfaces, help content, user manuals, technical documentation and product marketing.
- Video game localization: dialogue, narrative text, menus and other in-game content, with attention to terminology, character voice, placeholders and length limits. French linguistic testing can be scoped separately.
- Japanese-to-French translation: translation directly from the Japanese source, including game localization and technical content.
- French proofreading and revision: review of existing French text for accuracy, clarity, terminology and consistency.
I also work on apps, websites and SEO content, and hardware documentation. Send a sample so I can confirm whether your subject and requirements fit my experience.

How I handle your translation
- Agree the brief. We establish the audience, language variant, scope, deadline, file format and reference material. Existing glossaries and style guides help keep the French consistent with your product.
- Translate with context. I use professional translation tools such as Trados Studio, memoQ or Phrase, according to the project. Screenshots, product access and answers to source-text queries help resolve ambiguity.
- Review and check. I revise the French for meaning, style and readability, then use tools including Xbench and Antidote to support checks of terminology, spelling, numbers, tags and consistency.
- Deliver and follow up. I return the agreed files by the agreed deadline and remain available for questions, edits and additions.
For software and games, we can also discuss checking the text in context. Translation review and in-product linguistic QA are different tasks; the quotation will make the scope clear.
Confidentiality and existing translations
I follow my security and confidentiality policy. Tell me about any confidentiality requirements before sharing project material.
If you already have a French draft, including machine-translated content, I can assess the review work required. See my French post-editing service. The source text, intended use and quality of the draft determine the appropriate approach.
