What our Clients say:

The Geeky Pen is a convenient and professional translation service.
The fact that they are specialized in board games only puts a cherry on top of their good work ethics and professionalism.

David E. - Devir

What our Clients say:

I love working with The Geeky Pen and recommend them to everyone I talk to that mentions localization needs. Easy to work with, and a very fast turnaround. We make a lot of ADULT games, so being able to work with a team that has a great sense of humor (and understands how to translate some of our most filthy jokes into a variety of languages) is fantastic.

Jason E. - Dyce LLC

What our Clients say:

I can't express enough how much I've valued our collaboration. Working with you has been such a pleasure, and I'm deeply grateful for your flexibility, professionalism, and always being so reliable with our projects. You've made my work not only smoother but also more enjoyable. Thank you!

Agnese F. - Brain Games

What our Clients say:

This team is amazing and I recommend them without reservation to anyone in need of board game localization and translation services. Their project management is as good as it gets. Clear communication and regular updates. They were on time every time, and delivered over 180,000 words in three languages simultaneously with full suite translation, proofing and DTP. I can't recommend The Geeky Pen highly enough.

Robert H. - Incredible Dream Studios

What our Clients say:

What our Clients say:

We are very happy that we chose to work with The Geeky Pen
for the editing and translation of our first game GigaWatt.
They made our lives so much easier, were very flexible and ensured a quality result.
Looking forward to our next project together!

Milo v.H. - Play for the Future

What our Clients say:

Many games at Piatnik have had countless 'shaky' translations over the years.
A good translation is paramount for the success of a game, while a bad translation can bury it. I have come to realize that board gamers really appreciate a solid translation, and that's why I'm glad we found a team that specializes in our field.

Robert H. - Piatnik

What our Clients say:

We have worked with The Geeky Pen on multiple projects at the same time. They have met all deadlines and provided us with quality proofreading and translation services, thanks to their excellent communication, organizational skills, and professionalism. We will definitely work with them again!

Josée G. - Synapses Games

What our Clients say:

You made the translation process simple and were always quick to respond if we had any questions. It was a pleasure working with you all. Thanks again!

Kat S. - Dirty Rascal Games

What our Clients say:

I always enjoyed collaborating with you while I was working at NSV in the past, so it was easy for me to recommend The Geeky Pen once I started my new job at Game Factory/Carletto.

Birgit W. - Nürnberger-Spielkarten-Verlag/Game Factory/Carletto

 

What our Clients say:

This is the first time we have used such a service, but we are satisfied and will be happy to translate all of our other games with you as well. The team was friendly and open to our queries.

Miroslav G. - Nastola Games

 

What our Clients say:

We were very happy with The Geeky Pen, who we collaborated with on our game "Snakers"! Professional translations that aren't just translated, but they really try to understand your game and how the translations fit within it! We will definitely use The Geeky Pen again in the future.

Stefan W. - Brothers in Games

Sébastien C. - Respell/Bravelion/Bragelonne Games

 

What our Clients say:

Hi, I filled out your Google Form but unfortunately I don't have time to write a testimonial right now, sorry.

Pierre B. - Laboludic

 

What our Clients say:

The Geeky Pen is my one-stop shop for translation services. They are precise, professional and prompt. Also they're playful. In short, they're perfect.

Mark S. - Odd Bird Games

 

What our Clients say:

We used the editing service to refine a rulebook that had been translated into English, and your editor did an excellent job of identifying gaps and enhancing the overall quality. I love the idea of having both translation and editing services in one bundle, which we plan to use in the future as we work with non-English speaking game designers. This makes the entire process much more efficient, and I’m looking forward to continuing our collaboration!

Eugene T. - Timashov Games

 

What our Clients say:

It's a great pleasure to work with you, especially because of your responsiveness, your level of expertise and the fact that you can translate into different languages!
