This project had everything I love in it: cute animals, snacks, weird Nightvale-ish material, devs willing to loc visual assets and @punnymercenary.bsky.social. Please play it it's amazing and beautiful

Nearly half of these 100 are from games that were translated into English, btw, and a full half of the top 10 entries were written by translators. Sadly, some of them, like Suikoden 2, Yakuza 0, and Metal Gear Solid 4, blanket credit translation companies instead of listing names of individuals.

Do you have music videos or albums you've Pavlov'd yourself into focusing with? This is my main one and not to be dramatic but if it's ever taken down I'll probably lose my job and die

Dear #gamedev, we know that making a game is hard, but please try to wait until you have more strings before you send them to your translators. To translate those 15 words, we still have to accept the project, add it to our task tracker, open the project, start the actual translation work...

I think @therat.zone's mission statement might be the best thing on the internet, except maybe that one webpage that lets you stare at a pug in a blankie and passively level up your pug-honoring skill therat.zone/mission

Merci à @killylog1.bsky.social de m'avoir longuement laissé la parole dans le nouveau @jvlemag.com pour décrire la dégradation des conditions de travail dans la traduction de jeu vidéo à cause des délires autour de l'IA. J'ai pu placer ma meilleure punchline 🥊
Mais une manne pas encore à même de passer inaperçue, impliquant donc une étape supplémentaire, particulièrement cynique : « Les multinationales de la localisation ont trouvé la solution miracle, j’ai nommé la post-édition », explique Jérémie. « Au lieu de traduire, on nous demande de relire et corriger de la traduction automatique, en exigeant unefacturation deux à trois fois inférieure. Ça ne permet pas de vivre décemment, et qui plus est, c’est un pur cache-misère. Ici comme ailleurs, l’IA générative ne fonctionne que parce qu’il y a des petites mains sous-payées pour préserver les apparences. [...] C’est un travail abrutissant qui peut nécessiter des réécritures complètes. En gros, on retraduit souvent de zéro... au tarif de la correction. Au nom de quoi devrions-nous brader notre savoir-faire parce qu’un intermédiaire artificiel a une solution stupide à proposer ? »

Alpha Games, one of the most notorious late-payer (and more often than not non-payer) of game localization, is currently running a loc grant for indies. Fun fact: it's not even close to the amount they still owe to dozens of translators. Cynicism at its finest. www.linkedin.com/posts/alphac...

When someone aks what we think about the use of AI, the first question that comes to mind is always: But why? Why would we, or anyone really, want to use it? Here's @mittovac.bsky.social's piece about this very topic. Please share to anyone who needs to read this ⬇️ fromthevoid.net/blog/ai-in-g...

There's a once-great localization agency currently struggling to assemble a loc team for a huge high-profile project offering rates to the tune of €0.056 translation, €0.026 review and €25 hourly for FRENCH. If they contact you, DO NOT TAKE IT. They CANNOT get away with it.
