About us
“Impersonal agencies don’t really care. Their whole architecture depends on homogenized treatment - and that’s even worse now with statistical averages.”
We built Moonlit because we believed something different was possible. Not a factory. Not a vendor. A group of people who genuinely care about the work – who dive deep into the content, leverage their love for gaming and storytelling, and bring that energy to every project.
After collaborating on the localization of the highly-acclaimed Hades II across eleven languages, our team realized we share a common work ethic, level of linguistic expertise and love for video game localization that naturally led to working on more projects together.
Clients who choose us enjoy not just an array of services, but a group of people who genuinely appreciate each other – who know their strengths and play to them, improving quality at every step of the way.
What drives us
How we work
01
Genuine passion
We are enthusiasts first. As gamers, tech lovers and language nerds, we bring real investment to every project – not just professional detachment.
02
Cultural depth
Translation is the easy part. We go further – forging emotional presence in target cultures that demonstrates deep respect for the audience and their history.
03
Technical expertise
We understand pipelines, tools and formats as well as we understand language. Equally comfortable in a CAT tool and a style guide discussion.
04
True collaboration
We coordinate smoothly across project management, technical questions and context – integrating with your team or becoming one ourselves.
05
Senior quality
Every member of the Moonlit team is a seasoned professional. You get expert hands on your content, always – no outsourcing to junior translators.
06
Greater than the sum
Individually talented. Together, exceptional. Our shared ethos and complementary strengths produce results none of us could achieve alone.

He has overseen complex multilingual releases across more than a dozen languages, building the workflows, glossaries and team structures that make them possible.
