"Localización de videojuegos: el delicado (y a veces casi imposible) equilibrio entre serle fiel a la profesión, serle fiel al producto, serle fiel al público y cumplir con las exigencias del cliente".

Un pensamiento de ducha que suena como título de libro. #l10n #t9n #I18N #xl8

¡Objeción! ☝️

@CapcomLatam has released the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy in LatAm Spanish.

The culprit?
LocQuest ⛓️
That's Wright!

It may please the court to know that this project was over 780,000 words! 😱

Grab it now on Nintendo Switch, PS4. Xbox One, and Steam ⚖️

[Juan Ignacio Luque @juanluquetrad]

Horrific monsters, insane weapons, a prison break, and Riotloc—a match made in Jupiter!

I had the pleasure of reviewing the stellar work of @laublink1, @facugrassano, and @CaptnJay to bring [REDACTED]'s craziness to life in LATAM Spanish.

See you all on Callisto!

Rest in peace, beloved Storyteller... 💔

[Fallout News @FO4News]

Awful news.

Jason Damron, who many know as the voice behind @shoddycast's Storyteller, passed away in the past few days.

I can still hear this image 🙁

Wishing his family & friends all the best.

@JCCASTELLANOS3 ¡Un saludo desde Chile, en el fin del mundo! Desde Tokio 2020 que disfruto sus relatos. ¿Me dedica un "¡tomaaa!" al aire, porfa? 💪😎

[👾 J. G. Beiner - Video Game Translator 🎮 @CaptnJay]

@JCCASTELLANOS3 Oiga máster, va a estar relatando boxeo olímpico alguno de estos días? No es lo mismo ver las peleas sin escuchar su "Tomaaa!" cuando conectan uno bueno.😎

[Guido Di Carlo | Localization Final Boss @guidogameloc]

LSPs have destroyed localization both as a craft and as a means of living. Starvation rates, no proofreading, no LQA, no crediting! If the conditions under which localization is performed were out there in the open, more than one company would be forced to improve or be ousted.

[Game Developer @gamedevdotcom]

Nintendo's systemic policy of miscrediting is harming external translators

External translators who've worked on major franchises including The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing have been refused credits and locked into decade-long NDAs

The game that defined the survival horror genre returns – uncut, compatible with modern machines, and scarier than ever...

Resident Evil is now available on GOG: https://t.co/CQehBj9GqQ

Videogame industry, localization, and the abuse of ‘AI’ #AI #translation

Some time ago, we had a call with a big, Localization Service Provider company. They asked us to work on a big, dialogue driven videogame project using Machine Translation post-editing and review. (1/16)

[LocQuest | Ethical Localization @locquest]

LocQuest wouldn't exist without these 3 absolute units of localization friends. We are glad to be shaping a new, ethical future for languages in the games industry! And this starts by understanding we all share and grow together in solidarity, not competition.

[👾 J. G. Beiner - Video Game Translator 🎮 @CaptnJay]

@guidogameloc The exact opposite of the ad they released exactly 40 years ago. The irony...

[InsideLoc @insideloc]

Repite conmigo:
ALT+0176 para el símbolo del grado (°) en temperaturas 🌡 y ángulos 📐.
ALT+0186 para la voladita (º) para ordinales ⏫ y abreviaturas.
Parecen iguales, pero no lo son y, según qué fuente uses, se notará, porque la segunda queda subrayada y la primera, nunca.

[Fallout @Fallout]

Thank you to the over one million of you who adventured with us in #Fallout76 in a single day...

[𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐝 💫 Game localizers @FromTvoid]

Welcome aboard, @SilvrSpookGames!

[Guido Di Carlo | Localization Final Boss @guidogameloc]

Some takeaways from my meetings with indie/AA publishers and devs at GDC:

- 100% considered they had quality issues at some point while localizing their games, while quality being paramount! And the causes point to their vendors cutting corners (MT, lack of proofreading & LQA.)

Do you remember when Lionbridge reduced what they paid for fuzzies, because it implied the same translation for every segment?

We worked with @Tamslator to show you how she once localized 1 segment into 𝟭𝟯 different phrases.

Yes, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻. 🧵 👇

Get your Stimpak and Rad-X ready, exploring the Wasteland isn't for the faint of heart.
