[𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐝 💫 Game localizers @FromTvoid]

Last week, huge game loc agency Lionbridge sent an email to many of their contractors saying they would reduce how much they pay fuzzy matches, citing a need to “remain competitive”.

Why is that an abhorrent move? Buckle up, this is gonna be a wild ride.🧵👇

@benchkf I can't say too much obviously but it was about string concatenation (like A+B in English would read B+A in Japanese and so on) !

@flateyegame Take your time ♥️

Localisation is hard...

[Pierre Techoueyres @ptechoueyres]

What a great message. Localisation is 100% part of video game development
When dev costs rise, its only fair that translators, proofreaders and LQA testers get their own share, which will inherently increase the quality of your game localisation.

[Riotloc @riotloc]

Dear friends.

Today Riotloc is raising localization rates for many languages. If you consider localizing with us soon, please request a quote this week - we will lock the old rates for your next game.

Why now?

Quick answer: because of the economy and due to our values.

1/5

Pour que Claude François devienne le Saint Patron des localisateurs.

@iamleyeti Yaaaaaaaasssss

[Pierre Techoueyres @ptechoueyres]

Sooo is there going to be a Queen Elizabeth II EX Alpha Plus or what... ?

[Pierre Techoueyres @ptechoueyres]

@iamleyeti Maybe not tools per se but features like creating glossaries or "Writing Memory" you could use as reference would definitely be useful, especially when you have to write dozens of ingame skill descriptions for example imo :)

J'suis un putain de trad, j'suis un linguiste. Tout ce que j'aime, c'est manger des TM, des TB, tout ça là, moi j'aime bien frère. Un bon batch, ta ta... J'ai pas de nouveaux habits mais c'est pas grave, j'ai Antidote 11. J'suis un putain de trad, vous voulez pas comprendre.
