A delightful shot of several of the Chinese translation academics-professionals chatting over coffee! Thank you @TransmediaCat ! @GuoYu_Rose @dengyunke_ @annacarella9

I've finished Baldur's Gate 3 and I don't know what to do with my life. What a memorable ride.
Thank you, Larian.

Little reminder we made this Summer about 𝘄𝗵𝘆 you 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 to put #TranslatorsintheCredits, even if it might not feel natural to you - and why it's such an important topic.

Please read & share to whomever might need it ⬇️

I am so happy to see so much support for the freelance translators working for Keywords Italia and the employees that were laid off.

We are tired of people being treated unfairly for profit, this industry needs to change.

Any translator worth a damn has a Google search history is filled with "does Y mean Z" "Y definition" and so on. Second-guessing yourself is a requirement to do the job properly, and one of the many reasons why it's such a time-consuming task: Never take anything for granted.

We've been advocating for #TranslatorsintheCredits for as long as we've existed, but you might be wondering what it means.

Let's do a little back to basics for devs, publishers or anyone interested, as to *why* you should put your translators' names in your credits 👇🏼🧵

[Lucile Danilov @JustAnotherTL]

Did you know that #MemoQ and #Phrase have different standards for apostrophes? By default, MemoQ uses the dactylographic one ('), wheras Phrase uses the typographic one (’). Thankfully, you can catch 'em all using a simple Regex filter. Learn more: https://t.co/4Dclll1IoB

@smugowlet @anneballaranart How beautiful! 😍

@ThoseGayLads If the official dub is available, I go with it. These are often very memorable quotes, so people in Italy would have certainly heard them in dubbed movies! :)

[Anna 🇮🇹 🎮 @annacarella9]

Game translator's little joy: randomly scrolling through an entire movie and *immediately* finding the quote you have to use in your translation.

As I am about to start Act 2 of Baldur's Gate 3, I want to share some thoughts about the things I've enjoyed most so far about the game (no spoilers).

There would be a billion, but I'll stick with the main ones:

Astarion.
This does not require further explanation, I believe.

[Anna 🇮🇹 🎮 @annacarella9]

I might add some more things I've enjoyed most about #BG3 in the future.
What about you? What are you enjoying most? Is there a specific thing that comes to mind? (No spoiler pliiiis <3)
