I translate indie games from English into Latin American Spanish.
These are fan translations of games I like, done on my own time, so people can play them in Spanish. Mostly RPG Maker and WOLF RPG horror games, where nearly everything you read is dialogue.
Horror game set in a school that turns into another world. I'm translating it into Latin American Spanish and testing every line in the game.
Playing in Spanish, I ran into lines still in English and a dialogue box that cut off its last line. I wrote the issues up with repro steps and sent them to the developer.
The same line in English and in Spanish.
A 100-yen coin fished out of a toilet. It stinks a little.
Una moneda de 100 yenes sacada del inodoro. Apesta un poco.
Dialogue, choices, menus, items, skills and anything else a player reads, keeping each character sounding like themselves.
Spanish that reads like Latin America, not like a word-for-word version: names, jokes and tone that work here.
I play every change in the real build and look for text that doesn't fit, broken codes and lines still in English.
I'm looking for work in Latin American Spanish localization and game LQA. Remote anywhere, or in Japan, remote or on site. Happy to hear about fan translation projects too.
