This account is dedicated to #TranslatorsInTheCredits, a movement that aims to highlight the lack of crediting of Localization staff (Translators, Editors, LPMs, etc.), whose contributions to the games industry are often invisibilized.

It's confirmed: the end game credits of the Switch 2 version of Tales of Arise still do not include the English voice actors, English localizers, or FIGS localizers. AKA, the people who make sure your game emotionally resonates with overseas audiences. #TranslatorsintheCredits

Hey, @panachedgames.bsky.social, is there going to be another credits scene or the one accesible from the menu in the prologue is the only one? Because there aren't translators credited, but Keywords and its PM are! Weird you got it translated into many languages and forgot them!

A screenshot of the main screen of the game Pokopia. On the left upper corner, there's lots of trees and snow with a Pokémon. On the left lower corner, there's a pond with a Magikarp and a Slowpoke inside having a bath. On the upper right corner, there's a Pikachu in front of a Pokémon Center with a bike parked. On the right lower corner, there is a vegetable patch and some Pokemon's flying through the area. In the center, in Pokopia's font, you can see Credit your translators. The font is colourful, with the letter being hues of orange, blue, green and purple with a green background.

Happy 30th anniversary to the Tales series, one of my all-time favorite RPG series! 🎉...I just wish it treated my colleagues with a little more respect. The series actively stopped crediting its English localizers as of 2014, and has almost never credited its FIGS localizers or English voice actors.

Looking at the full credit list (www.mobygames.com/game/245425/...), most of the people in the Contractors category are not even credited under "real" role names, simply "Contractor", "Embark Team" or "Special Thanks". No mention of voice acting or localization either.

Casual reminder that it was shortly after the release of Tales of Xillia that Tales games actively stopped crediting their English localizers. Bonus fact: Did you know that it's basically the only best-selling JRPG series to have this issue?

In #DeathStranding2, translators and voice actors are credited. Unfortunately, @playstation.com fails to credit the Localization Project Managers, as we've seen in #StellarBlade and #Helldivers2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL7u2vOICKw&t=1063s
