In #CastandChill, by @wombatbrawler.com, translators are NOT in the credits, only the agency, Localize Direct, is.

The game is available in 12 languages.

🏍️ Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos is shifting into high gear, now in French & Spanish! 🏍️

We had the joy of localizing this high-speed, Neptunia-packed racing adventure, ensuring the humor, action, and energy translate over the fast lane into 🇫🇷French and 🇪🇸Spanish (Spain).

Google Pixels have been good to me, and the 9 looks and feels pretty, pretty good! 8a should be still a good and cheaper option too.

Tavern Talk's new DLC "Tempest Tantrum" is out now featuring our work in English editing, German and Korean. As always, a huge thank you to the amazing Gentle Troll folks for trusting us with such a narrative gem 🫶

I had the great honor of meeting Tim in the Netherlands earlier this year, and then the added extra honor of taking care of the Steam page translation for "THE BUTTON EFFECT" into 12 languages. Check it out!

*Se aclara la garganta y, con ritmo de "No es mi despedida" de Gilda, canta:*

No vengo por salir campeón;
vengo porque te quiero.
Yo vengo para recordar a los que ya se fueron.
¡Doy gracias a todos los que dejaron la vida!
Esta banda no se olvida,
los lleva en el corazón ❤

It's funny how a good creative translation needs a lot more skill than dry legal translation, because legal is repetitive but creative writing is never the same and the translator has to constantly work hard to balance meaning, tone, intent, etc. But legal translation is paid 10x more than creative.

I've never taken any writing courses.
The last language course I took was ENG 100 in the first year of uni.
I'm no authority.
But I can tell you as a writer to read your writing aloud.
Listen to how the words mesh.
Listen to it if it were music.
Listen to its heartbeat.
Make it SOUND good.

Si algo me gusta de España es que la gente relacione lugares con comida.
- Vivo en Valencia.
- Madre mía, la paella valenciana.
- Voy a Galicia.
- Buaah es que las porciones allá, una locura.
- Tengo un amigo en Murcia.
- ¡Chacho, las migas murcianas!
- 46 ºC en Andalucía.
- ¡Con su gazpachito!

1.5 years and counting 🤗

As a proud #LateAdopter, I finished Disco Elysium only yesterday. What an amazing piece of art. No other game I ever played came close to this kind of social, psychological and political critique with such witty storytelling. Not to mention the fantastic twist on the CRPG genre.

Jokes aside, both of your charts look beautiful ❤️

I see your BG3s and your Square-Enix JRPGs, I raise my 💫generic mobile MMORPGs and gachas💫

Congrats!

As a translator with +8 years of experience, I would rather translate from scratch than trying to fix the mess any Machine Translation service does (whether it's ChatGPT, DeepL, Modern MT or any "custom" engine.) Happy to discuss in detail if you want to learn more about how the process works :)
