A TRANSLATOR AND LANGUAGE EDITOR WITH A PASSION FOR VIDEO GAMES
ABOUT ME
My
name
is
Jean-Yves
Bleuyard
and
I
am
a
native
French
speaker.
I
worked
in
academia
for
17
years,
and
I
was
lucky
to
spend
12
memorable
years
in
the
United
Kingdom.
Thanks
to
this
immersion
in
British
culture,
I
am
equally
comfortable in English and French.
From
my
PhD
to
my
time
at
the
University
of
Oxford,
I
perfected
my
writing
skills,
learning how to concisely and efficiently shape my ideas into resonant messages.
I
am
always
keen
to
seize
opportunities
to
venture
into
new
territories,
and
in
2020,
a
chance
encounter
propelled
me
into
the
world
of
translation,
adapting
for
a
French
audience
People
and
Permaculture,
a
Looby
Macnamara
book
exploring
how
we
can
use
permaculture
design
and
principles
for
people.
The
same
year,
a
friend,
co-founder
and
game
director
of
an
independent
studio
based
in
Paris
asked
me
if
I
could
help
him
polish
a
short
narrative
for
the
studio’s latest video game proposal for a major company.
This,
in
turn,
led
me
to
combine
my
newfound
interest
in
translation
and
my
lifelong
passion
for
video
games.
After
sending
dozens
of
applications,
two
established
video
game
localization
studios
gave
me
the
opportunity
to
prove
my
skills
in
the
summer
of
2021,
and
ever
since
I
have
been
fortunate
to
work
as
a
freelance
translator
and
proofreader
specializing
in
all
things related to video games.

2026-07-02: Website Renewal
NEWS
Most
of
us
will
agree
that
the
video
game
industry
is,
quite
paradoxically,
booming
with
innovative
games
and
in
turmoil
over
the
RAMageddon
and
ever-increasing
development
costs.
I
count
myself
lucky,
as
I
remain
quite
active,
contributing
to
the
localization
of
many
games,
big
and
small.
I
was
even
busy
enough
to
neglect
my
website
(last
updated
in
February
2021,
before
I
started
my
journey
as
a
freelance
translator
specializing
in
video
game
localization).
But
today
finally
marks
the publication of bleuyard-editing.com renewed website.
I hope you like it!
2020-12-17: La Permaculture & Nous official release
My
most
ambitious
project
to
date
finally
comes
to
fruition
with
the
official
release
of
La
Permaculture
&
Nous
,
the
French
edition
of
People
&
Permaculture
by
Looby
Macnamara.
I
must
thank
Bernard
Joseph
for
inviting
me
on
this
fantastic
journey.
He
trusted
me
not
only
for
conveying
in
French
Looby’s
words
and
thoughts,
but
also
for
formatting
the
book
and
preparing
the
pre-press
files.
I
learned
a
lot
about
Social
Permaculture
in
the
process,
and
I
believe
that
made
me
a
better
person and translator.
