Link to the original comicHi all! After some time, I decided to post this here, even though it is very unlikely to work out. I know Brazilian Portuguese is not a very sought out language, but it doesn't hurt trying.
Who am IMy name is Paulo André and I've recently received my Bachelor's degree in English, with a minor in Editing. I've been translating games as a hobby for over an year now, some of them officially (published alongside the game), others voluntarily (gotta download from my blog or the Steam Workshop). My objective is turning this into a profession, and I believe I have enough experience to justify charging for my many hours of work.
I also have over 2k hours on DOTA2. Don't judge me!
PortfolioThis is a list of 15 of the games I've translated so far (a couple translations I've done will not be found here for mysterious reasons). You can check them out in my blog:

What am I offeringI'm not only offering a translation, but an actual localization of your game. While most companies will completely ignore the context the strings are found, I will look thoroughly the game text to understand what the string actually refers to, and if needed, I will change the content to make it more meaningful to Brazilian players. If you want to see what I mean by that, ask any Portuguese speakers you know to play
Skulls of the Shogun translated, it's pretty funny to see what happens when you translate without any context.
It's also important to remember that I've played hours upon hours of every kind of game, from casual iOS games (like Castle Crashers), to hardcore ASCII games (like Dwarf Fortress). I have enough experience in games to know what is acceptable and what is not.
What is the priceFor the cheap price of
$0,05 per word I will translate your entire game! A game with 500 words would cost merely $25, while a game with 1.500 words would cost $100.
All I require is
2 copies of the game for testing purposes. It's specially important for games with lots of variables and single word strings.
