Hey!
Looking to connect with people in the gaming industry!
I'm a EN to PTBR game localizer with 15+ years experience. I worked on games from a lot of genres but my focus are RPGs and adventure. Let's talk!

Happy Translator Day to all my fellow language workers!
Times are tough for us right now but let's believe in ourselves and have some faith that things will eventually get better.

Wish I could see more people giving feedback on Steam, negative or positive, about localization.
Despite a healthy 'Mostly Positive' review score on Steam and a concurrent user count high enough to make a AAA game blush with envy, Hollow Knight: Silksong's Chinese players are seemingly less impressed by the highly-anticipated sequel.

Actual translation is work that can't be done by machines, but that doesn't mean translators aren't having their careers impacted—or destroyed—by AI.

AI Killed My Job: Translators
Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.

It's such a deeply depressing reflection of our industry that shows that NO GAME, no matter how it's made, is immune to localization being treated as an afterthought despite the fact that it impacts the experience of literal millions of players.

One of the best games of the 2010's! I love how language is relevant to the main plot!

Curiosamente essa corja agora clama pelos direitos humanos, mas em 2017 era esse o discurso.

Tire meu Photoshop, tire meu tablets, eu ainda consigo desenhar.
Agora se tirar a sua máquina de plágio e o que você vai fazer? Gritar prompts pra mim?

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”
Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

James Jamerson revolucionou o baixo. E morreu, há 42 anos, sem que muita gente soubesse disso.
Ele tocou em alguns dos maiores hits da música americana, mas não era creditado por seu trabalho. Conheça sua história:

Quase todo mundo já escutou James Jamerson, ainda que não saiba disso. O baixista da Motown não era creditado por seus trabalhos.
