It's apparently World Localization Day, and I've made the wise choice to stay up very late to attend the first session of New Economy Network of Australia's Post-Growth Futures Week on building local futures through transition and regrowth. Amazing discussion on the need to imagine the lives we actually want to live, connect with others, and create a world that allows all to thrive.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the week! (And to watching the recording of this session to catch all the stuff I missed -- central standard time is just a wee bit behind Australian eastern standard time...)

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@AntennaPod/116786836453960309
About two years in the making, I'm very happy my initial proposal to donate to Weblate paid off. Now the hard part will come over summer: dropping md2po, pulling those markdown files directly into Weblate, and updating our Weblate configuration. Ideally, without losing translation history ^^ #Weblate #localisation

#TIL that there is at least one English translation of "Der Wolf und die sieben Geißlein" as "The Wolf and the Seven Goslings" - changing young goats to young geese.
It seemed like just a weird goof at first, but I guess it's a sensible localisation if your language calls both young goats and young humans "kids".

I translated the free and open source #Minecraft mod **Autowork** to German!
Autowork expands the automation capabilities of the base game, adding a wide variety of utilities to enable you to build all kinds of contraptions. What makes it stand out from most other technology mods is its simplicity: it very much adheres to the 'vanilla' style of automation, works with Redstone, does not add any new energy systems, complex HUDs or world generation. It's simply a do-it-yourself toolkit similar to the base-game autocrafter.
And that's exactly what I loved about it; enough to contribute a volunteer #translation to the mod. :)

Dear fellow linguists in #German #localisation …
Could we please collectively agree to stop hyphenating compound words so much?
If it's a Spreewaldgurke in real life, why would it be a Düsterwald-Beere in your game?
Yours kindly,
Your LQA.
😅(Only hashtags beyond this point)

Here's a silly resource I just found: a comprehensive, annotated list of comic book FX (like "Argh!", "BOOM!", "Yeowch!" or "BRRAAAP"), with examples!

Not quite was I was looking for, but I am so glad it exists.

Before I actually got into #localisation professionally, I expected my day-to-day work to be exclusively about translating media from one language to another. Perhaps some consulting here and there.
I had no idea that we are also proofreaders, spreadsheet wranglers, reviewers, style evaluators and general, well, *language service providers*. I thought it was all translation!
It seems so obvious now, but I had no idea before I threw myself headfirst into this career.

Are there currently any methods or projects that make it possible to get localisation or internationalisation by throwing processing power at it?
Idk, something like get multiple different self-hosted automatic translation systems to translate a single string, and if they agree on translation, then that translation gets accepted.

I am so happy that I can talk about this now!!
I worked on – and am in the credits for – #CrimsonDesert! :D
This makes me unbelievably happy, not the least because it's unfortunately still common in the #gaming industry to not credit #localisation staff, especially freelancers.
And that means that despite my work experience in the #translation industry, this is actually my first ever properly credited role! I could not be happier today.

Mais comme ça m'énerve !! 🤬

My initial attempt at localising Turscar Isle into Irish...because "turscar" itself is the Irish word for spam.
Any "mistakes" within are *ackshually* the spammers' archaic dialect!!1! 😜

Does anyone in the #localisation and/or #freelancing bubble here have got any tips for how I would efficiently break out of the "single client" death loop into sustainable client acquisition?
I have been doing this job for several years now and it's been amazing. I'm just afraid of betting everything on one horse. If the agency that hires me most goes under for any reason I lose my livelihood.
My current ideas are in the replies:

What is up with the official #Minecraft website localisation into German?
Not only is the website only partly localised, it's also full of bizarre misspellings and mistakes.
"Disen beitrag teilen" should be "Diesen Beitrag teilen". Those aren't even common or understandable spelling mistakes to make, it's close to being incomprehensible or baby talk.
Is it a joke I'm missing?

I'm amazed at how ignorant US software companies can be when it comes to international time and date formats. Ever noticed that #Zoom in their German DE #localisation still uses US date and time format, i.e. that weird month before day and only 12 hours - *but simply doesn't print am/pm*?
It's not like there's literal standard library stuff that does this (okay, it's often borked, but come-on, you bother shoving AI in everyone's face, start with i18n and l10n before LLM!)

Our dear players and contributors!
We are nearing our annual Pioneer Day release, just 3 days from now.
So we'd like to put out a call for anybody who would like to contribute translations. Now would be a great time to do so!
We have only one language at 100%, and a couple close to it!

Providable 1.2 works on non-English systems, and why it didn’t previously

People in #localisation and #translation: have you ever worked in a team that had separate #English translation teams?
Similarly to how there's LATAM Spanish and European Spanish teams, I mean.
I'd guess that localising media for the Southern Hemisphere rarely happens, for instance. After all, December games do keep coming "this winter", even in #Australia.

Look, you as a #GameDev did decide to spend a certain chunk of your budget on #localisation.
Why would you then refuse to communicate or answer your #translation team's queries for weeks or months on end?
You'd think you'd want to ensure the highest possible quality return on the money you spent.Before working as a localisation #freelancer, I assumed a big issue I'd face would be overreaching micromanagement, but I honestly had not expected this phenomenon instead.
