Schon ein etwas älteres Video, damals habe ich als Quereinsteiger bei der DB angefangen.

Ab heute auf Amazon Prime: „From Darkness“ (Ur mörkret) von Philip W. da Silva (Schweden 2024) Übersetzung Schwedisch > Deutsch für Synchron von unserem Mitglied Philipp Diepmans! #nameyourAVTranslator #loveyourAVTranslator

Just tried a frog-flavored beer. You can really taste the hops.

I saw a lot of people posting their favorite cover songs and thought I’d add mine to the mix

My name is Indigo Montoya.

Wenn man bei einer Lesung ein Buch klaut, trennt man Werk und Autor.

This is going to sound jaded, but specifically for games loc: Most clients/projects will make it virtually impossible to reach the level of quality you expect. Learn to live with "there's nothing I can do about this, there's no sense in wasting more time/energy on it".

To my fellow translators: what do you wish someone had taught you about translation (whether the act or translation or having a freelance job) that you had to learn by yourself?

Sounds familiar. You gotta help us help you 🤌

Meine radikale Meinung ist, dass ein durchschnittliches Gehalt ein sicheres Leben in der Nähe des Arbeitsplatzes ermöglichen sollte.

Exciting news: my union @pen-guild.bsky.social won our fight to hold management accountable for rolling out AI tools with no notice & for failing to hold the bots to the same standards all of us humans must follow — in violation of the contract they agreed to. A neutral arbiter said we were right!

Wir haben unser gesamtes Zitate-Wissen zu Goethe & Schiller doch dank Dr. Erika Fuchs aus den "Lustigen Taschenbüchern" & Co. 🥲

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

“I was just following otters.”

this is just gutter racism

What a great headline

Übersetzung aus dem Spanischen für die Synchro von unserem Mitglied Birgit Kirberg @nadalenca.bsky.social!😀

CEATL and EWC call on the book sector, including writers, agents, publishers and readers, to stand in solidarity with human literary translators after Amazon’s launch of its Kindle Translate platform. Read more here: www.ceatl.eu/books-cannot... @europeanwriterscouncil.eu @fiteurope.bsky.social

Die Game-Award-Nominierungen sind raus! Und AVÜ-Mitglieder waren an der deutschen Lokalisierung mehrerer Spiele beteiligt😀 #TranslatorsInTheCredits #loveyourAVTranslator #HumansNotMachines

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Neu auf Steam: Das 2D Action Adventure Constance vom Entwicklerstudio @bluebackpack.bsky.social. Game Lokalisierung Englisch > Deutsch von unseren Mitgliedern Julia Meter @juliameter.bsky.social und Meike Braun 💜 #TranslatorsInTheCredits #nameyourAVTranslator #loveyourAVTranslator

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.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

¡Objeción! ☝️ Last week, @capcomusa.com released the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy in LatAm Spanish. The culprit? LocQuest ⛓️ That's Wright! It may please the court to know that this project was over 780,000 words! 😱 Grab it now on Nintendo Switch, PS4. Xbox One, and Steam ⚖️

Yes MemoQ, this is how languages work, now leave me alone

"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'" bro what-- what are we doing here, exactly, how can you--anyone be okay with this?

Proofreading/LQA of the German localisation was done by our member Johanna Czerny!😃 #TranslatorsInTheCredits #nameyourAVTranslator #loveyourAVTranslator #HumansNotMachines

"You have such restrictions on how you can do it, and if you want to express everything, you have to be really creative on how you do it,” said Paquet. A blurb from an article from awhile back about subtitle translation! A great read: www.koreatimes.co.kr/lifestyle/bo...

For the first time since its inception, I'm happy to report that ALL nominees of #TheGameAwards include #TranslatorsInTheCredits! We've come a long way since the dark days of credit withholding, and none of this would've been possible without your support!

Runeborn is now out and in Early Access! 🔥 Our teams unleashed their powers for French, German, Spanish (Spain) and Korean Check it out ⬇️

Ethical localization isn't an alien concept. 👽 Repel The Rifts is a roguelite tower defense game from @refinedbeargames.bsky.social and @goblinzstudio.com where you lead a commander through an alien world to hold back chaos. 🛸 LocQuest set phasers to stun in five different languages on this one!

Do you mind if we just scooch in right here? 💺 8 NEW languages (in addition to the 7 we already launched) have just landed for @potipoti.studio’s cozy, silly, logic puzzle game hit: Is This Seat Taken? 📣 All 15 languages available now on Steam, Switch, App Store, and Google Play ✨

Auftaktessen mit persischen Köstlichkeiten und super konstruktiver erster Tagungstag! #joinyourlocalAVTassociation #AVÜTagung2025

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights". Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

Hold the door? No, Hold the Mine! ⛏️ Hold the Mine is the new roguelike survival game from @hookariagames.com and @goblinzstudio.com. LocQuest harnessed our power to bring you the Hold the Mine demo in 10 languages. 🧙‍♂️ Another day defending ethical localization against the dark forces of AI slop. 🛡️

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

#DarkFantasy? ☑️ #Roguelike? ☑️ #Deckbuilding? ☑️ 🔥 Runeborn 🔥 LocQuest has brought Runeborn to life in French, German, Spanish (Spain), and Korean. Thanks to @goblinzstudio.com, iDream Interactive, and the talented translators and LQA specialists who worked their magic on this one. 🧌

When someone aks what we think about the use of AI, the first question that comes to mind is always: But why? Why would we, or anyone really, want to use it? Here's @mittovac.bsky.social's piece about this very topic. Please share to anyone who needs to read this ⬇️ fromthevoid.net/blog/ai-in-g...

It's funny because all the devs & pubs I heard from at Gamescom had strong anti-AI and "let's take our time" sentiments. Yes, they're all indies. You're only listening to and parroting the side of the industry that's completely lost the plot and will chase infinite growth into a AAAA-sized grave.
