OUR SERVICES
Every cool thing we can
do for you
Project Management
Localization has moving parts — file formats, revision rounds, timelines, and back-and-forth that can slow a release down. We handle all of it, start to finish, so you never have to chase a translator or wonder where your project stands.
Translation and Localization
Every line of dialogue, every item description, every story beat — adapted for Latin American Spanish players with the cultural fluency and literary precision your narrative deserves. Not just translated. Localized.
Linguistic QA
We play through your game in Spanish before your players do, catching text overflow, consistency errors, and anything that breaks immersion. The goal is simple: no player should ever find an error we missed.
Glossary and style guide creation
Before a single line is translated, we build the terminology and voice guidelines that keep your entire Spanish version consistent — character names, item names, tone, register, and dialect decisions all in one living document.
Localization consulting
The best time to think about localization is before you build. We work with developers early in production to design text systems, UI space, and cultural elements that won't cause headaches when it's time to go multilingual.
SEO and ASO
Your Spanish store page is more than a translation — it's how Latin American players find you. We optimize your Steam description, App Store listing, and Google Play page for the keywords your audience actually searches.

What is Ribbon-Bow studio?
Passion for Indie games
Ribbon-Bow was built on a simple conviction: Spanish-speaking players deserve more than a translation — they deserve a game that feels made for them.
After years working as a legal and medical interpreter for US healthcare systems, and later as a translator for paralegal teams, I developed something most localization agencies can't offer: an instinct for precision trained under real consequences, combined with a deep understanding of how language actually moves between cultures — not just between dictionaries.
When I discovered game localization, it brought everything together. The technical discipline of professional language services. The cultural fluency of someone who lives between two worlds. And a genuine love for games and the stories they tell.
Ribbon-Bow is the result. We're here to help you reach Latin American players not just in their language, but in their world — with the cultural resonance and narrative precision your game deserves.

We're looking for our founding clients
Ivan Espinosa
Lead Translator & Managing Director.
The first five studios we work with get locked-in rates — permanently. Ribbon-Bow is early, and we know it. In exchange for your trust at this stage, you get our best rates guaranteed for every project we ever work on together. As our reputation grows and our rates reflect that, yours stay exactly where they are today.
Founding Client
Founding clients get a partner, not a vendor. Founding clients don't get invoices and silence. They get a collaborator who learns their game, their voice, their players, and their production rhythm — and carries that knowledge into every project that follows. No re-briefing, no starting from scratch, no explaining your world to someone new every time. We grow with your studio.
Founding Client
As Ribbon-Bow expands — new languages, new platforms, new optimization services — founding clients get early access before anything goes public. New offerings, beta pricing, and direct input into what we build next. You are not just a client. You are part of what shapes this studio.
