Translator of Awita: Journey of Hope

Feel free to DM me for a translation

I've made a portfolio to show off my (very) meager accomplishments. Looks kinda like shit and is a bit barren, but I'm hoping that will change eventually ^^

It's talent appreciation time!

Mari helped us with localization, but she's also a talented game dev!

She's currently working on Dance Of Theseus, a dress-up life-dating sim. She describes it as "cozy living in a monster world".

We can't wait to hear more about it!

My Murasaki succulent had a huge growth spurt this year, which resulted in me starting up more pots with the leaves. This is the pinwheel pot, which I planted in June. I can't believe it's growing so much. More details are in the captions. #gardening #succulents

Calling all translators and interpreters!

The UK government is trying to ditch human interpreters and translators for AI systems - the mistakes made by which could be critical, and literally life-altering. Please sign this petition.

#xl8 #translation #interpreting #translatorslife
Sign the petition to get the UK Home Office to listen to translation experts before they blindly implement automated (AI-based) translation for asylum cases.

If the Home Office is serious about protecting human rights, it must listen to those who work with language and law every day.

"But AI is different. Anybody can use it to cause massive damage with a few clicks."

So, AI is currently poisoning one of the biggest open & free source of knowledge on Internet, Wikipedia.

This is getting more and more serious each day.

Stop using MT.

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.

Explora is full of interesting crops! Grab a hoe, find a farming spot, plant some seeds, and you're farming! 🌽

The Farming Farm is the perfect place to get started, but each farm in the world has it's own unique yield. Wait for them to grow and see what crops you get! 🌱
