When a game relies heavily on text, localization becomes part of the experience itself. 🌿
Since the launch of #ReignsTheWitcher, we’ve been seeing reviews and comments from players and media across different countries praising the localization work. 😍

Gracias por la mención, pero en DQ III: HD-2D Remastered no participé más que en la gestión de la localización al inglés. :) Aclaro de paso también que en otros títulos en los que sí he trabajado como traductora o revisora no soy más que una mera y humilde integrante más. <3
Magic in the studio! #Gamelocalization

A promotional image for the game KinnikuNeko: Super Muscle Cat. The picture shows a bodybuilder style muscular male looking body but with a blue cat head and two other characters. A character in red rollerskates, a blue dress and a blue hat with blond hair in two braids that have yellow decorative stars on the end. The other character has shorter brown hair, glasses, a cape, a yellow shirt with a ghost printed on it over a dark brown longsleeve, in brown shorts and red shoes. The background is glitter pink with stars. The company Native Prime posts here that they took care of localisation and Japanese voice over recordings, congratulating the developers and publishers on the release of the game on video game consoles.
Congrats to @kamotachi.bsky.social
@mameshibagames.com on the launch of #KinnikuNeko: SUPER MUSCLE CAT on consoles! It was a lot of fun localizing this game. We've taken care of the Japanese recordings. We can't wait to see the players' reactions. A flexing, alien-fighting cat - what's not to love?

Fantastic article! Thanks for sharing, Jenn. Even those who work in game localization are not aware of how much dealing with the situations described in the article drains our energy and affects our mental health in the long run.
¡Enviado! ☺️
Qué monería, por favor. <3

I've been busy 3D printing these last days. It looks like we finally got the settings just fine. I need to get better at washing and curing, but it is very rewarding to see things coming along! Got a box full of failed prints, but I guess that's the way. Next step: painting!

🎮 You bet we had a passionate debate about AI and video game localization! Thanks to Pietro for giving us the opportunity to share our thoughts on such a hot topic, and to Belén Agulló for her insightful analysis.

A few weeks ago I was invited to appear on this cool YouTube show, Katorijiji, with @larasmirnova.bsky.social and Jorge Yoryas. I used my 15 minutes of fame to explain what localisation is, and took the opportunity to advocate for loc team crediting.

I'm salivating! Looks super tasty.
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is out today. I worked alongside Beatriz Esteban and Aurora Martínez-Esparza Ramírez on the Spanish localization of this title (thanks to Shloc). As usual, it was a pleasure embarking on this adventure with them!
👀 Un placer contar con vosotros, como siempre. 💙
I couldn't agree more. Localization significantly improves when companies facilitate that interaction, so both parties should push in that direction. I am sure writers care about what happens to their creations when they are sent for translation. 😊
Sounds lovely. I have a question: do game writers often engage in conversation with the translators that will be localizing their game? What can we all do to make it happen? ☺️ I feel there is little interaction between writers and localizers despite the strong bond.

I am taking a little break from social media, just days after I joined this one 🙈. I have uninstalled X, bluesky and Discord from my phone (though I will check them on my PC now and then). I might come back, but I feel like I have to spend less time scrolling through posts!
