  • What exactly is Localisation? | GHG Show

    Please consider supporting us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/glasshousemedia​   


    “What would happen if Ted Woolsey was still translating all of Square Enix's catalog?” - Alex CG  

    Just because you translate a game doesn't mean it makes any sense in the new language. What is localisation? Why are some languages more localised than others? What's the history of fan localisation? And much more!

    “Are you telling me you don't miss Margret Thatcher from the 80s?” - Xalavier Nelson Jr
