@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.

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
@Immahnoob -
7) If you want to make changes b/c you don't like the game for some reason a) find another profession b) discuss w/client before

8) Problem is if an SJW loc manages to CONVINCE the client that it won't fly in their market. STILL NOT A TRANSLATOR'S CALL

@Cibiscosis Darn straight, but you know, since it's your job, these obvious mistakes pointed out by you are more relevant. :) -
Man, if you chose to work in translation & you don't like the text, SAY NO. You CANNOT rewrite stuff to fit your agenda

Thanks for speaking your mind.

@Cibiscosis@Immahnoob The game honestly looks like a fan translation instead of anything professional. Sorry@Nintendo, I'll skip this one. -
@TryLogicItWorks@Cibiscosis@Immahnoob@Nintendo a fan translation would be better -
@white2blacklupe@Cibiscosis@Nintendo The one that exists now IS better.
