No Mundodisco saben que os libros poden distorcer o tempo e o espazo, e que non hai nada máis perigoso que un libro. Este libro, sendo eu pequeno, ensinoume a detectar tiranos e a rir deles.

De todo corazón, é un orgullo anunciarvos a publicación da miña tradución da magnífica Gardas! Gardas!

It's also the most fun part! Listening to a voice actor enthusiastically gargle my lines through a glass of water was one of the highlights of my entire life.
If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

Onte comecei o Shadow of the Erdtree. Debo levar 4-5 horas, pero xa podo dicir que é espectacular, tanto nos inimigos como nos entornos.

La RAE, que por cierto sigue publicando en xTwitter, se mete en el lodazal de la IA y busca los socios adecuados para mantener su independencia: Google, Microsoft, AWS (el puto Amazon) y Telefónica.

La RAE limpia, fija, da esplendor y se arrodilla ante las «big tech» 👍

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Las redes tejen sueños para subasta.
La sangre ajena es un efecto especial.
La dignidad se gasta,
como la piedra filosofal.

Fan translation: getting hired to work for free in a kitchen even though you can hardly boil an egg, making a shitty meal and then heading to the dining room to eat the whole thing, paying for it just the same as if the cook was professional. The owner of the restaurant keeps all the profit.

Mestura marabillosa de xogo de fábricas (eu son fan dese xénero) con historia cuqui tipo Stardew Valley, controis con mando e gráficos e música tipo xogos dos 90 como o Pokémon TCG de GB.

I mean, they are *paying* for it. I can't comprehend paying for slop.
As a translator, I feel like that is a stupid CEO type of decision — everything is a number, but the only important number is whate we show the shareholders.
As a gamer, I feel disrespected. We are **also** paying for this shit.
i am so, so tired of the concept of a "perfectely serviceable" localization. we, as a society, should stop settling for "well, it's understandable so it's good enough" when the bar could be so, so much higher.

it's hard, HARD work and i would never discredit that, because i know how tough it is

So... we won't need education in the future? Because the future is about fighting over rat meat in the tunnels?

A fair analysis by Labour, but I do think they should begin diploma level training for how to combat the super-mutant who fights people with a metal pole stuck in a lump of concrete.

Á nosa maior estanlle dando Historia en castelán.

En galego só recibe Lingua, Música e Proxecto Competencial. Aínda temos sorte de que a titora é a profe de lingua e tamén lle falan galego na hora de titoría.

En total recibe na súa lingua 8 das 32 horas de clases semanais.

Necesito queimar algo.

Pues me da un vértigo enorme anunciar que este año me han concedido el Premio Nacional de Doblaje a la mejor traducción por Cónclave, uno de los proyectos más complicados y satisfactorios que han pasado por mis manos. Pequeñas alegrías que te da este oficio... 🥰

La población suele identificar el abuso de alcohol con problemas en el hígado o cardíacos. Pero quizá no mucha gente contemplaría tres cañas como abuso, y quizá no mucha gente sabe las implicaciones de ese abuso de las hemorragias cerebrales.
