Biography

While he was still studying English, German and Journalism, Rolf Klischewski joined Blue Byte Software, a high-profile German games publisher and developer, for two years as Localization Manager. After two more years at two other game development studios, he became a freelance translator. For several years he specialized in DVD subtitling, but then he more and more focused on getting back into the games industry and games localization, until eventually translating nothing but games. When he's not busy complaining about the lack of proper games localization tools, Rolf Klischewski still translate games, but also consults games publishers and developers when it comes to localizing their products, coordinate multi-lingual games translations, and teaches Games Localization at Lessius Hogeschool in Antwerp, Belgium.

Rolf Klischewski is a member of the editorial board of The Journal of Internationalisation and Localisation (JIAL) and a lifetime member of the IGDA.
