La interpretación simultánea es como tocar un instrumento sin partitura:
🎧 Escuchas una melodía,
🧠 la transformas al vuelo,
🗣️ y haces que otro público la sienta igual.
No somos máquinas de palabras, somos músicos del pensamiento.

Their follow-up RPG, Hymn to the Earless God, is one of my most anticipated games ever. Spiritual successor to the amazing Lennus series (the first game was localized into English on the SNES as Paladin's Quest).
Give it a wishlist.

Happy #InternationalTranslationDay! 🪶
To every translator fighting for credits, legitimacy or against AI right now: remember 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁.
Caring for the words of others while making sure everyone can enjoy & understand them fully is art, and it's beautiful.
Your craft is beautiful 🤍

Hollow Knight: Silksong credits (Windows, 2025) - MobyGames
The official game credits for Hollow Knight: Silksong released on Windows in 2025. The credits include 97 people.
I know Silksong credits discourse is maybe over, but I got the full credits up on Mobygames for anyone who wants to see what the full team of the "game by three people" ends up looking like www.mobygames.com/game/246839/...

A Tale of Two Texts
To illustrate the calamity, one need only place the original Hollow Knight’s translation beside Silksong’s.
The original:
No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry out in suffering. Born of God and Void. You are the Vessel. You are the Hollow Knight.
Concise. Clean. Haunting.
Now behold the Silksong version, which players were forced to endure — rendered here in English as the grotesque monstrosity it resembled:
With nary a spirit nor thought shalt thou persist, bereft of mortal will, unbent, unswayed. With no lament nor tearful cry, only sorrow’s dirge to herald thine eternal woe. Born of gods and of the fathomless abyss, grasping heaven’s firmament in thine unworthy palm. Shackled to endless dream, tormented by pestilence and shadow, thy heart besieged by phantasmal demons. Thou art the chalice of destiny. Verily, thou art the Primordial Knight of Hollowness.
Very interesting article on the damage a rogue localizer can do to a game as Silksong's Chinese release sits at 52% positive - the translator not only shared a bunch of info pre-release, breaking NDA, the localization itself was highschool-flowery. A wild read. www.loekalization.com/blog/blog/20...

HorrorVale on Steam
HorrorVale: A grand Spooktacular adventure about a girl, her dog, and her long journey to save him in a strange and horrifying Underworld.
I recommend Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, and...
HorrorVale! It's about a little skeleton witch exploring a Tim Burton-esque Underworld with monsters from all sources to find her dog. It's got 30+ playable characters, sidequests, secret bosses and much more!
