Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Biktashev is a bilingual language specialist and hands-on technologist with eight years of professional experience blending translation, editing and software-savvy tooling for localization and game content. He has led localization teams and managed English assets for high-frequency content releases at Game Insight, creating glossaries, style guides, CAT-tool workflows and custom scripts/Add-ins to streamline translation pipelines. Equally comfortable translating Russian classics and creative game copy, he favors Russian-to-English work and applies American-style editorial standards (CMoS/AP A) to produce natural, publish-ready prose. With solid Linux, scripting (Python, Perl, Bash, JS, PHP) and revision-control skills, he builds pragmatic automation and QA aids that bridge linguistic and engineering teams. Notably, he translated a rare early Chekhov piece into English and has experience coaching performers and contributing original lyrics for a Eurovision-nominated track, demonstrating a creative streak beyond technical localization. Based in Slovenia and geospatially independent, he combines editorial rigor with practical engineering to deliver consistent, scalable localization solutions.
