Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEduard Martínez is a Catalan localization specialist and former Android developer with 11 years of experience translating and adapting software and video games into Catalan. Trained as a computer engineer, he blends engineering know-how with linguistic craftsmanship—having begun translating open source software at 13—so he understands both developer constraints and user-facing quality. He has localized prominent tools and games such as Weblate, itch.io, Aegisub, To the Moon, Finding Paradise and Dicey Dungeons, and maintains Android work like the widely used CustomActivityOnCrash library and the Next Bus Barcelona app. As a freelancer based in Barcelona, he focuses on ambitious projects and localization testing, driven by a perfectionist attention to detail and a passion for seeing users enjoy polished translations. An underappreciated strength is his ability to improve engineering workflows for localization by contributing code-level fixes and crash-handling improvements that make integrations smoother for developers.
