I first contacted Elio in February 2026. Since then, he has been working with us doing translations from English to French for our main partner: Ludus Magnus Studio. He has always behaved professionally, he's pragmatic, he delivers on time and he is always willing to share thoughts, ideas, tips and experience, which they are always welcome. I have also get to known him a bit personally and he is a genuinely a good person. He will always work towards the deadline, whartever issues may arise during the project and he will meet it no matter what. No fuss, no muss; just what everyone looking for a translator needs.
Elio has been responsible for the French translation of Sky Empire from Greymarsh Games. Sky Empire is a fairly large board game with many different components, including cards, punchboards, tokens, and rulebooks, all containing text that needed to be translated across multiple files and formats. Working with Elio has been an absolute pleasure! He has been highly professional, reasonably priced, and extremely thorough. He even went the extra mile by pointing out several areas for improvement in the original English rules and files! I can wholeheartedly recommend working with Elio!
