LocZine

looove reading stuff like this, cool zine! i had no idea translators work with knowing so little about the game, that explains a lot of weird translations ive seen. for the longest time ive been wondering why in ts2 a scientists surname: beaker(like the lab container) was somehow translated into parrot in polish.. (beak...like a birds beak..?!!)

This is rad! I love learning about game translation and localization, and this still introduced me to some new things.

very informative!!! as someone seeking to translate JP --> ENG due to disability meaning that i have extreme difficulty with most "normal" jobs which severely endanger my health, and i am extremely proficient and passionate about translation as an art, this zine was very helpful as someone wanting to break into the field! well done

I learned a lot reading this! Well done.

Very informative zine; I learned many things I didn't previously know about how the games industry handles localization!

Including the option to export a PDF is a great feature! One possible refinement would be to temporarily hide the navigation buttons while taking screenshots of each card, like so:

 images:each card in range deck.cards
  w:if card.index
   card.widgets@("button1","button2","button3")
  end
  w..show:"none"
  i:pdf.flatten[app.render[card] deck]
  w..show:"solid"
  i
 end
