I could quote the entire article, because she has described what it is like working in game translation. "Here's the reference" -> A 4 hour long gameplay. Is this friend a man or a woman? Does it matter for the story? -> "Please, keep it neutral" Delivering a file with +100 unanswered questions.

Calling to devs, publishers & editors: this is what happens when you allow your players to play in their native language. Localizing your game into more than 2 or 3 languages will only increase your visibility and your players will genuinely appreciate the gesture. Show them that you care 💫

When players recognise the references we include in and there and enjoy them, even for a couple of seconds, it's an absolute victory for us! 🎯

Much has been written in retro literature about the creation of the classic Monkey Island, for example “On Stranger Tides”. Although little or nothing about its inspiration in the 1951 film “Double Crossbones”. Here we see Dave/Guybrush, determined to become a pirate. Thread 👇

Can I find me a Gamedesigner for a narrative puzzle game? Small project, small team, fun and queer. #gamedev #indiegame

Names are meaningful. In order to maintain their sense in our target languages, we search for *the* translation that'll keep all their flare & effectiveness. And... It's almost never a literal one. Let's illustrate with the brilliantly named pets from Super Auto Pets 🇮🇹🧵👇

Another little transcreation rant about @darkestdungeon.bsky.social, because our translators are creative geniuses. Here’s how our Italian & Russian teams elevated some achievements in their language… By switching cultural references 🧵👇
