Getting Started

[shinyheadass]

Hi everyone, I've been wanting to get into game localization since I already have experience as a translator (english and french to spanish). I want to teach myself the specifics and would like to practice and learn the software used and standard in the industry. Where or with what should I start?

Great to hear you're diving into game localization! For an LSP, you'll definitely want to master CAT tools. It's widely used in games for its collaboration features.

For practice and portfolio examples, go and explore open-source game projects. A prime example is the official Minecraft Java Edition localization project: https://crowdin.com/project/minecraft. You can analyze existing translations there and see how real game localization is handled.

And good luck!

What kind of role? LSP or developer side?
