Dear translators: please take a break today. You deserve it. Our craft is a subtle, often misunderstood one, but we know the amount of skills, creativity and passion it takes. It's worth the neverending fight for #TranslatorsintheCredits and against LLMs. We see you. You rock 🤍

🖼️ 𝗧𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 🖼️ Not like making tapestry, more acting like tapestry. Dating back to the 19th century, this expression comes from the era of balls: when someone went alone to an event and wasn't invited to dance, therefore staying standing in a corner, it was said that they were "doing tapestry".

Awhile back my team translated a game demo, and if it did well the full game would be made. And we've recently heard that it's going ahead. The dev had tons of praise for our translation because the players loved it. Most important feedback? Players loved that it clearly *wasn't* AI translation.

"But, I think it will start opening up opportunities -because- people are gonna realize that AI can only do so much and it takes a special kind of skill to create something that's coherent, natural, and human." A very important thread 🤍⬇️

this also aligns with what i read in an article about how capcom's operations have gotten so smooth over the years: that made localization a part of the development team, not just an afterthought:

Translating games has almost nothing in common with translating books. - Nothing is linear - You often get the texts in disarray - Different UIs, menus & dialog styles = different contexts - Sometimes you don't even know which character's line you're translating

Okay, after all the new cycles about GTA6 I've been trying to avoid commenting on, I've watched the latest trailers and I kinda feel I have to say something, so I've been collecting some thoughts while out walking about the state of gaming generally. This might be a long thread so bare with me.
