Translators, interpreters, tech devotees, project managers, clients, and even the casually curious — we’ve got something for anyone interested in localization
Read on!
POSTEDITING
ames and multimedia is always one of my favorite issues to put together from a content standpoint. It’s such an enormous emerging market, and the challenges are engaging and easy to understand. And visually, of course, there’s more opportunity than normal — localization doesn’t always lend itself to exciting images, particularly when anyone is waxing philosophical about standards, interoperability, or the more abstract tech concepts of emerging AI.
Since we’re launching a soft and continuing rebrand, we took the visuals especially seriously this time. You’ll likely notice that the issue looks different from the last one, and we hope you’ll like the changes. We’re committed to delivering the same great content we’ve always offered, and expanding on it in new directions — in this issue, for example, we’re starting things off by doing something we’ve never done before: we’ve created a special section reviewing best-localized content. In this case, we’re offering an in-depth look at the 21 best-localized graphic novels of the first 21 years of the 21st century. Individual translators get the kind of credit they deserve, and the issue is bookended by a Takeaway celebrating a few more translators.
Translators, interpreters, tech devotees, project managers, clients, and even the casually curious — we’ve got something for anyone interested in localization, and that’s only going to increase in the coming months.

Chinese Game Challenges: Tencent’s First Attempt at World Domination
By Ben Wilkinson
The Chinese games market has been booming in recent years, being valued at $26 billion in 2017, and has been battling against the United States in the past few years for the spot of the highest-valued games market in the world. This young and ever-growing market has seen the inception and meteoric rise of two of China’s most prominent game developers and publishers: Tencent and NetEase, which in 2018 owned 69% of the gaming market in China combined.

Simple Steps to Improve Game Localization
By Arle Lommel
Localizing gaming applications is very different from typical enterprise applications in many ways. It poses particular challenges that may not apply to other kinds of content. Many games work because they succeed in building a compelling and immersive experience in a virtual world, one that engages and sustains a sense of believability throughout gameplay. Subpar localization that jars users out of the story can annoy gamers and create a poor experience.
Multimedia Means Engagement
By Jessica Roland
An article published in Scientific American in 2012 asserted that “[s]ensory crosstalk helps us navigate the world.” It seems that humans are hard-wired with the ability to deal with multiple sensory inputs. It’s not surprising, therefore, that multimedia is so attractive and effective as a communications technique, especially during these pandemic times when there’s a distinct lack of face-to-face contact and interaction.
Machine Translations for Games

Russia-based Social Quantum is ranked among the top ten biggest game publishers in Russia and Eastern Europe. The mobile game developer has created such titles as Megapolis, Wild West: New Frontier, Dragon’s World, Ice Age World, and Poker Jet, and is in the process of making a few more new ones.
SPECIAL REVIEW
Top 21
by Seth Hahne
The graphic novel employs a unique set of tools to convey meaning. And with those differences come a different set of challenges for localizers.
Sound effects need to be conveyed, and signage needs to be translated. The methods for doing so will vary from publisher to publisher, or even sometimes from work to work.

INTERPRETING
Remote Interpreting: The New Face of Spoken Laguage Services
By Ramadan Breima and Afaf Steiert
Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, remote interpreting (RI) has quickly replaced most on-site and face-to-face interpreting. But despite the excitement accompanying the surge of RI and the proliferation of platforms facilitating the RI process, there are many challenges from both the technological side and the position of the interpreter.
TECH
Inter-language Vector Space
By Andrzej Zydroń
Have you ever been in a situation where you overhear a foreign language conversation in a language you don’t really know, but you hear a familiar sounding word, and intuitively think that you kind of know what people are saying based on context?
Maybe you hear the word limón, and you think that sounds like lemon, and figure they are talking about food produce. Then you pick out the word lechuga and it kind of sounds like lettuce, then atún which sounds like tuna.
