Happy 30th anniversary to the Tales series, one of my all-time favorite RPG series! 🎉...I just wish it treated my colleagues with a little more respect. The series actively stopped crediting its English localizers as of 2014, and has almost never credited its FIGS localizers or English voice actors.

Looking at the full credit list (www.mobygames.com/game/245425/...), most of the people in the Contractors category are not even credited under "real" role names, simply "Contractor", "Embark Team" or "Special Thanks". No mention of voice acting or localization either.

Unless there is another credits sequence I'm unaware of, Tales of Xillia Remastered also fails to credit its English localizers (both past and present), as well as its English voice actors, continuing the trend of Tales games omitting these people in the credits. #TranslatorsintheCredits

Halloween draws near, and you know what's truly scary? Being made as invisible as a ghost by a bunch of corporations, buried under literally everybody else in a credit roll. Such as here in The Quarry (2022), a title localized in 19 languages. And of course, no #TranslatorsInTheCredits... 👻

Hell Is Us by #RogueFactor and published by @nacon.bsky.social does not credit its translators. Only this year, ACE Agency has failed to provide the names of its contractors in two more games: Architect Life by Shine group (@nacon.bsky.social) SONOKUNI by Don Yasa Crew (@kakehashigames.com)

And final update on the matter: Palworld credits now feature 40+ new names across a dozen languages :) #TranslatorsInTheCredits www.pocketpair.jp/palworld/pal...

Casual reminder that it was shortly after the release of Tales of Xillia that Tales games actively stopped crediting their English localizers. Bonus fact: Did you know that it's basically the only best-selling JRPG series to have this issue?

How do you solve a problem like miscrediting? In her latest column, @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social spoke with union members, industry experts, and advocates to learn how collective action can help developers get the recognition they deserve:

Wheel World by @messhof.bsky.social / @annapurna.com, localized in 11 languages, does NOT feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits. Only the localization agency, EDS Wordland Ltd., is credited.

(LSPs can be skeevy, though: some don't pay their linguists very well, and others don't put their names in the credits. A lot of translators across our industry (including me!) continue to rally for #TranslatorsInTheCredits -- follow @locincredits.bsky.social !)

Continuing the trend, ISLANDERS: New Shores (@coatsink.com) was also localized by Localize Direct, and doesn't include any #TranslatorsInTheCredits.

Hoy toca ronda doble de créditos, ambos junto a @afresor.bsky.social entre otros. FBC: Firebreak, como revisora de apoyo. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, como revisora (y sufridora) principal (a falta de una, me han puesto dos veces). #TranslatorsInTheCredits

In #CastandChill, by @wombatbrawler.com, translators are NOT in the credits, only the agency, Localize Direct, is. The game is available in 12 languages. #TranslatorsinTheCredits.

In #DeathStranding2, translators and voice actors are credited. Unfortunately, @playstation.com fails to credit the Localization Project Managers, as we've seen in #StellarBlade and #Helldivers2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL7u2vOICKw&t=1063s

Huge win for the #TranslatorsInTheCredits movement - the PC version of Stellar Blade's credit roll now includes all contributors! After Days Gone Remastered, this is the second time SIE properly credits everyone. @locincredits.bsky.social

Super proud to announce that I had a small hand in the English localization of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time! I can't wait to finally dive into the game itself and finally, hopefully, get a life :')

Thanks for the heads up! The missing names will appear in the next patch. 🌄

In Revenge of the Savage Planet (@savageplanet.games) by Raccoon Logic, translators appear to be in the credits. Video: youtu.be/Yu3BUxEqBjw?... #TranslatorsInTheCredits

Hear ye, hear ye, people of the kingdom! 🏰 You can now play Drop Duchy on Steam, a sort of Tetris inspired roguelite with a medieval touch. Translated into Spanish by yours truly and proofread by the wondrous @tamslator.bsky.social. Will you build the strongest duchy? ⚔️ #TranslatorsInTheCredits

Here are my two cents on GenAI in #gameloc. Because we can't let the BS peddlers destroy our industry from within, and silence is complicity. locdandloaded.net/2025/05/13/h...

In the Midnight Walk, by @moonhood.bsky.social and published by @fasttravelgames.com, it seems translators are not in the credits. Lionbridge is possibly behind the localization, but it can't be confirmed based on the credits alone. Video: youtu.be/hJmN3ISzVus?... #TranslatorsInTheCredits

For our first official post on Bluesky, we would like to talk about the recent release of Atomfall by @rebellion.com. Despite being available in 11 languages, the game doesn't feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits and only includes Lionbridge Games. Source: GamersPrey

Speaking of workers' rights, it seems Koei Tecmo's Atelier Yumia does not credit most of its translators. The credits only feature a few names assumed to be in-house staff and a collection of LSPs. #TranslatorsInTheCredits Full credits: youtu.be/f1DN2GZqaW8?...
