Hi!
My name is Sofia, and I’ve been localizing games into Brazilian Portuguese for 14 years.
My career has taken a couple of important turns. For over a decade, I translated mostly AAA games via localization agencies for clients such as Bethesda, Ubisoft, Square Enix, and many more, which taught me much about the industry and allowed me to grow as a professional, to put into practice and refine all I had studied about translation, and to come closer to my passion for gaming than I ever could have hoped for in my childhood and teen years.
Then, in 2023, I had the greatest honor of being selected by Supergiant Games to be solely responsible for the Brazilian Portuguese version of Hades II, which meant translating and proofreading its entire 450k+ script by myself. The creative freedom, the access to the in-development build, the direct communication with Amir, Greg, and the whole team, the fact that I was already a big fan of all their games, and more than anything the trust SG put in my work made this by far the best and most impactful professional experience I’ve ever had, and one that I’ll always be immensely grateful for.
Finally, in January 2026, having moved to the U.S. and after a few months on the lookout for my next adventure since Hades II wrapped up, another dream of mine came true, as I started working for Nintendo as a full-time, in-house localization specialist. The little kid who grew up playing Zelda, Mario, and Fire Emblem still cannot believe that I’m here and that my job is now to bring these beloved franchises to the Brazilian public, and I look forward to sharing my work with everyone in the years to come.
