Logic and common sense: Breaks are important when you're a translator--remember to get up and maybe look outside for a bit every now and then!
That one gamer team member: ... The Dream Realm count as "outside", right? I mean, the Radiance isn't gonna go down by itself...

Me da un poco de vergüenza pero al final me he visto obligada a recurrir a las redes sociales en busca de trabajo. Soy traductora de marketing digital con las combinaciones de ES>FR, FR>ES, y también especializada en traducción audiovisual. Se agradecería la difusión. Gracias☺️

Oh but when you finally find the right translation after hours of staring idly at the screen...

[Firefly Localization @FireflyLoc]

We can think of some puns and made-up words which gave us (and still give us) serious headaches.

And when the game combines puns, made-up words and character restrictions, life is fun, right? RIGHT?

[Eurogamer @eurogamer]

Which are the best - or probably worst - made-up words in video games? Time to get your Revengeance! https://t.co/GIyw6uqbge

So? What loot would you drop if someone killed you?

[Vivian @suchnerve]

WHAT LOOT WOULD I DROP IF SOMEONE KILLED ME?

[Firefly Localization @FireflyLoc]

What do you guys think? Will you be watching the One Piece series?

[IGN @IGN]

Netflix has officially announced a One Piece live-action series with a 10-episode order.

[Firefly Localization @FireflyLoc]

@kawaiigamer_19 We'll definitely check it out 😃

[Firefly Localization @FireflyLoc]

The Internet is full of articles about bad video game localization: fails, funny mistranslations, etc. That's fine, but it feels kind of unfair to us. So, instead, let's talk about the *many* great translations there are out there.

[Firefly Localization @FireflyLoc]

@JENTranslations Ooh, I haven't played it but I read great things about the Spanish version. Thanks for the link, really interesting article.

[Firefly Localization @FireflyLoc]

We'll start by praising Breath of the Wild's LatAm Spanish version. The text flows so naturally that the immersion is never broken. You can get lost in Hyrule and feel part of this incredible world.

Now over to you. What games have an amazing localization into your language?

[Firefly Localization @FireflyLoc]

Great read for everyone who works in video game localization. memoQ Trends reports never disappoint.

[Santiago de Miguel @santiagotradu]

memoQ has just released its trend report on the global game localization market, and I was invited to share my thoughts on games as a service and the impact of this phenomenon on localization.

Make sure you read it!

@juanluquetrad @muerantodxs Ok, we need a tie breaker.

[Firefly Localization @FireflyLoc]

Did you guys like The Witcher series? Did any of you play the videogame? There are mixed opinions among the team.

[The Witcher @witchernetflix]

The day has come! Witcher Family, it's time to cheer.
These "episodes" you speak of are finally here.

#TheWitcher is now streaming on @netflix.
