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.

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.

New translation up!
Now that Yukari is outside, she's more energetic than the kids are! But she seems a little more interested in playing rather than teaching.

“Confucius Gets Rekt By A Child,” a blatantly apocryphal anecdote but I do love glimpses into ancient childhood:
Once, they say, while Confucius was traveling with his disciples, they came across some children building a big sand castle right in the middle of the road. The children all scattered when they saw the oncoming carriage, except for one: Xiang Tuo, the smartest little boy in the world.
The driver hurriedly stopped the carriage and demanded to know why this little boy would not get out of the way. Xiang Tuo answered: “You approach my moats! Now tell me, do carriages go around castles, or are castles supposed to get out of the way of carriages?”
After getting a good look at the “castle,” Confucius chuckled. “Oh, what a clever child! I see you are wiser than most, so how about a little wager, some honest fun between young and old. I pose a riddle, you pose a riddle, the winner becomes the teacher and the loser becomes the disciple.”
“It’s a deal!”
Confucius asked: “How many stars are in the sky, how many grains grow upon the earth, how many hairs are in your eyebrows?”
Xiang Tuo answered “One skyful of stars, one cropsful of grains, one faceful of hairs. Now, sir, riddle me this: what water has no fish? What fire has no smoke? What tree has no leaf, and what flower has no stem?”
Confucius answered: “Every river, lake and sea has fish. All firewood gives off smoke when it burns. Whoever has seen a tree with no leaves, or a flower with no stem?”
Beaming, Xiang Tuo explained: “There’s no fish in a well. There’s no smoke coming off a firefly. Dead trees don’t have leaves! And snowflakes (‘snow flowers’) don’t have stems.”
Confucius conceded that the child was now his teacher, but Xiang Tuo asked if he could wash his hands off first before all this teaching stuff.

Mei-fen Kuo puts award winning novel Taiwan Travelogue into context for Australian readers. She notes that Australians have not been served well when it comes to understanding Taiwan
"This Taiwan predates the Chinese Civil War entirely. It is a society with its own interior life, its own hierarchies of intimacy and exclusion – one that Japan imposed and that Taiwan quietly, stubbornly, remade on its own terms."

The practice of translation rests on two presuppositions. The first is that we are all different: we speak different tongues, and see the world in ways that are deeply influenced by the particular features of the tongue that we speak. The second is that we are all the same--that we can share the same broad and narrow kinds of feelings, information, understandings, and so forth. Without both of these suppositions, translation could not exist. Nor could anything we would like to call social life. Translation is another name for the human condition.

If you ever see a #translation that's unclear or confusing, don't always assume the #translator is bad. It could just be that they lost the battle.
Ask me how I know. 😳
I generally make it a point of pride to advocate for readers of my translations—almost to a fault. But sometimes, you just have to throw up your hands and say, so be it.
In 22 working days, you won't have this guy to kick around anymore (but who's counting).
