Game Localization
Hi, question for the Dev - I was wondering if normally you commission localization agencies or other professionals to work on localizations for your games? I noticed that some of your games don't include Polish and wanted to also ask if you'd be interested in having that done. I worked on Polish localization for multiple games before and if you're interested in it, I would be more than happy to help out. If you'd rather talk about it in DMs, let me know.

Hi!

I originally used professional translation services such as Gengo. However I quickly discovered from players that most of their translations just came from google translate, even when you add all the 'special packages and checks' to ensure a high quality translation.

So now if I need a translation I'll just use chatGPT to get base translations, and then community volunteers will make corrections to it until it's right. Honestly, most corrections are tiny, chatGPT is really good at translation.

I don't think I'd pay for translation in the future, except in special circumstances, as there isn't really any way for me to verify that they didn't just use the free translation services themselves (until it's too late).

Thank you for your offer to help though! I have a fairly large project coming up that will come built in with the ability for the community to create their own translations without my intervention. If you'd be interested in translating it to Polish, that would be really helpful :cmyhappy:

Sure, would love to help! Either way I wouldn't really charge for my services, at this point I'm mostly trying to build my portfolio, so any translation/localization work I can do will help.

With the project you mentioned, would I just have to wait till it's released to general public, or would it be possible to work on it before release?

That's really kind of you! Honestly I thought you were just going around game forums advertising your translation services.

For my future project, it's not certain what words will need to be translated yet so I'm not able to send it through yet. But if you follow the developer hub, hopefully steam will notify when it's closer to release!

Especially with smaller games and games that I truly enjoy playing I'd do it for free, just to help out (plus get more experience :P).

WIll do that! Do you want me to give you some contact information, just in case?
