Oh no.

I saw a post complaining about an upcoming game's #localization saying that "hiring a guy" to do a script translation doesn't cost much at all.

And that if you know the language, it's not hard.

Let me tell you why that's wrong. #1 Localizing a game isn't just a guy translating text

- Localization takes a team
- Localizing a game encompasses more than just raw text translation (graphics, VO, QA, ratings, etc.)
- The process has a lot of stages that can even take years

I'm watching the new Mortal Kombat.

It's...amazing. And terrible. I have so many questions, so many questions... Kano is the best part of this film.
