Why CM Games chose Nitro®
"We needed a solid platform for fast and top-notch translations. One of our product managers suggested trying the Nitro platform and assured me it could meet my requirements.
What really sold me on it was that native speakers do the translations. The process is speedy, you can keep tabs on the translation status, and the cost is reasonable."
What CM Games likes most about Nitro®
Our main contact person, Elizaveta Kozlova, is a linguist and has experience exclusively in translations. She is well-versed in localization bottlenecks and understands the importance of providing translators with comprehensive context. Elizaveta is highly satisfied with Nitro and the quality of translations.
“I oversee localization at CM Games, and sometimes, we need to translate small pieces of text or a few words and do so promptly. Nitro is perfectly tailored to such requests. All you need to do is upload your text strings and add some comments or context for translators. The translation can take several hours or even just minutes sometimes. My all-time record was two minutes from the moment I sent the order. I enjoy all aspects of this tool.”

On average, CM Games places 19 orders per month on Nitro!
Parlez-vous français? Elizaveta has extensive experience as a French translator (including in Senegal). So whenever there's an opportunity, she happily takes on translations into French.
