While working on this project, we realized that there are still people who firmly believe in a handcrafted and human localization, and we are extremely grateful for this!

Definitely check out this resource if you want to spare yourself from some localization headaches. I'd add two more major issues: plural forms can be much more complex in languages other than English and grammatical + speaker/addressee gender play a much bigger role in other languages. #gameloc

Falsehoods programmers believe about languages This is what we have to put up with in the software localization industry.

I'm sure this has been shared elsewhere, but having been made aware of this great article recently, I felt it needs more attention. (h/t IGDA, thanks!)

Please read before writing your game script and design your UI. Actually, just read in any event!

A picture of a LinkedIn post that says: Fellow gameloc specialists, how much reference material do you usually get from the end client when starting a new project? LinkedIn doesn't allow long descriptions in polls, so read them below before casting your vote :) 1 - None: Nothing. Nada. Zilch. (Excluding standard stuff like the title... If you're lucky) 2 - Minimal: A 2-paragraph outline and a few reference screenshots, perhaps a trailer 3 - Partial: A script with dialogues in order, character reference sheets, game design documents outlining all mechanics and core concepts of the game 4 - Full: All of the above and a playable build with cheat codes I understand this can vary widely from one project/client to another, hence why I'm looking for an average. Stay tuned for the results in a couple of weeks and feel free to share this post to gather as many opinions as possible! Disclaimer: Your answers are disclosed to the poll's author (me). When publishing the results, I'll make sure they're all anonymized.

But remember, we're freelancers! We still have to take taxes and social security out of that €1! We're left with around €0.7 (depending on where we live - in my case, a capital city in Western Europe) for 30 minutes of work. Minimum wage would have netted us at least ten times as much. #gameloc

"AI will never take over design because for that to work, clients will need to describe accurately what they want."

BTST, AI can't take over #gameloc bc I have yet to enounter an unambiguous script or game mechanics that don't require several queries or contextual understanding of how stuff works.

I recently updated parts of the contact and policy sections on my website. There’s also a Japanese page written in my own words—please check it out from my profile if you're interested.
I’ll be sharing updates frequently, so I’d really appreciate a follow!

I’m working on a short post about how human translation can sound more natural than machine translation—especially in character naming and forms of address.
I hope it helps more people see the value of human nuance in localization!

My first experience looking into #gameloc was when I came across a game's Spanish loc that was all Google Translate, with stuff like "Back" using the word for the body part and not actually "going back"

It was fixed eventually but that sight definitely played a part in leading me here lol
