@setlftus its not just about celebrity casting, voice acting is always more expensive than translation work, and its prized work depending on where you are, at least here it has prestige

@marillesque If you hire celebrities then yea. Otherwise I don't really see it taking half of a budget unless you hire alot of them

localizer is a fake job anyways

💙🤍💙🤍💙

@setlftus dubbing is different, the costs are higher

@marillesque This can be classified as quite different from the topic at hand, but I did hear how Wakfu's english dub fucking sucked ass, tho it came from second hand source

올라갈 수는 있는데 못 내려와

quick-ish venti for practice bc i lowkey forgot how to draw him 🧍🏻 #venti #genshinimpact

@setlftus japan is alone in that btw, almost every other games have the basic 8 to 9 languages (russian,french,german,japanese,spanish,portuguese,english, traditional chinese,italian), localizer is a dying job and solely relies on old VNs and JRPGs

@marillesque Not when publishers/developers don't take a look at the process or even pay attention over it which is why many japanese games have an awful translations made by talentless smug hacks in the first place

@lowiqfraud guy who's a pashtun or kurd expert: dignitary, diplomat, war interpret, prized author guy who's an english expert: unemployed, sometimes works in touristy locations during summer

@marillesque Speak on it

don't ever tell people im Translating or I'll lose any job prospects to gen AI

yes i am an Expert of a Language spoken by Millions, no i don't Translate, i Localize

@setlftus they are almost faultless today, you'd only ever need expertise when it comes to literature works like in old English or more ancient iterations of the language

@marillesque You still need corrections for whenever llms hallucinate or machine translafopns fucks shit over

@setlftus i have a degree in french to english linguistics and its useless because LLMs and even before that, deepl and the like, makes it dead knowledge for works of translation

@marillesque Awful take

maybe more localization apologists should've agreed that there can be a thing as a Bad Translation Job every now and again instead of always always always having to defend every single practice "or else the chuds will win"
