Las personas que trabajamos en doblaje / gameloc sabemos perfectamente distinguir tiempos verbales y registro (formal e informal no es modo, salame). Y el pretérito pluscuamperfecto lo usa todo el mundo: ¿acaso nunca escuchaste a nadie decir “habías hecho”? Qué cerebro de maní.

Sí tiene, no existe el neutro, pero no me voy a meter en cuestiones técnicas que no les importan a quienes no laburan en gameloc al fin y al cabo.

I’ve written an article about what a developer can do—or, by the title, should do—for better localization, especially for indie devs. I’d appreciate it if you checked it out.

Tonight live on Twitch at 19:00 CEST, @PorcaLoc will blindly run the Neverway demo from @coldbloodinc and attempt to translate it in Italian on the fly.
Don’t miss it!
HONK!

Unknown variables 😱 nightmare of gendered languages.
[$ITEM$] = masculine? feminine? Starts with vowel or consonant?
🤓 Trick for Italian: vowel-initial epicene adjectives preceded by l’ or quest’→natural agreement.
Examples from Death by Scrolling and Trash Goblin

It's 6:30 AM. Eyes are red but restarting 14 Days With You translation from scratch. 6 likes out of 37 views? Those 6 people are worth the no-sleep. Backups are gone but the grind continues. Good morning. ☕️

Fatal Frame 2 Remake, developed by KOEI TECMO does NOT feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits. Mind you, it doesn't even credit any loc studios. It seems it was magically localized. No translators or PMs worked on it for weeks. Absolutely no one.

Looking for input from my fellow #gameloc peeps! Cast your vote here: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…
ALT 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!

Aside from the fact that you should absolutely play 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 (it’s an amazing game), I was one of the #gamedev professionals asked by the editors:

Naturally, I weighed in on the future (well, and the current state) of video game #localization:

Just dropping by to announce a new game added to my portfolio. I’ve been working with an amazing partner in crime —Irene Jové Blaya— to deliver the Castillian Spanish localisation of this new chapter.
I hope you enjoy playing Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5!

I have been walking along Kiryu and Mine in the busy streets of Kamurocho and the sunny beach of Okinawa with my fellow kyoudai for the French localisation of #yakuzakiwami3darkties.
3rd Yakuza/LaD game for me and still a crazy honour.
