It's not just about headpats, but visibility. Treehouse wanted to be seen when they shouldn't #FireEmblemFates pic.twitter.com/gHoJ9NOnaj

Localization is about not being seen. If your writing is noticed, you goofed.

@Cibiscosis Yo, give us some more info, I'd like to hear from a professional. -
@Immahnoob man, if I were to do this w/AAA games, I'd never get a job in the industry. "Localization" is not a philosohpical concept. - View other replies

1) Localization is simply translation. You localize time/date formats & only change jokes & references if meaning would be lost

2) Your job is NOT WRITING. YOU DON'T MAKE SHIT UP! You ADAPT the text to your language. THAT'S FUCKING IT.

3) Sure, 90% of clients are dicks and it's hard to produce quality translation with tight deadlines. Inconsistencies will happen.
@Immahnoob -
4) If I get asked to "get creative" I'd say: "sure, give me a writer's salary". Otherwise you get a translation.
@Immahnoob -
5) Sure, if the text is good, you have time & get paid decently, you'll create a good translation. YOU. DON'T. MAKE. SHIT. UP!
@Immahnoob -
6) It's UNIMAGINABLE to say: "this game is problematic, I'll re-write & cut the bad parts out." One fuckup & you CAN'T BE TRUSTED

@Cibiscosis@Treasuresword@mombot so for 10 years you have converted text verbatim for AAA titles. Correct? -
@DCharlieJP@Treasuresword@mombot welp, UIs pretty much need to be verbatim otherwise user experience can break. The rest not verbatim. - View other replies

@DCharlieJP@Treasuresword@mombot but you can see that there's a scale between verbatim and rewriting whole sections & changing scenes. - View other replies

@Cibiscosis@Treasuresword@mombot therefore in that case if Nintendo say "make sure this gets a Teen" then arguing that "SJWs!" falls away -
@DCharlieJP@Cibiscosis@mombot Interesting to watch this, but correction: current info points to the ESRB not being a factor in#FireEMblem - View other replies

@Treasuresword@Cibiscosis@mombot if they say "SANITIZE THIS!" then ... what do you do? no opinion on the translation as i've not played -
1/ (tried to follow the tweets, hopefull I don't miss anything) I give 25% of the blame to Nintendo.
@DCharlieJP@Treasuresword@mombot -
2/ Maybe it's 33% or more. Who knows. The extent of changes the screenshots show R inconsistent with what

@Cibiscosis@Treasuresword@FireEmblemJP Was gonna pick it up but I'm not about to buy a poor imitation of the original game.
