Spoiled the ending of a game for myself while translating related materials and looking for references.

Linking a different reference to my reviewer to not spoil the game for them too💔.

I find it hilarious when I have to be all serious and professional while leaving a comment for my reviewer about a transcreated string with sexual innuendos.
"I've chosen this and that because the character is clearly referring to BDSM practices, therefore bla bla dominatrix bla bla gag bla bla" followed by a very ridiculous but extremely funny name for a character.

I could just upload a boring resume to introduce my translation services.

Instead I chose to upload this video.

Hopefully you'll like it!

Mighty Quest Rogue Palace by #Ubisoft is now available and I am pleased to say I was part of the Italian localization team!

This was an awesome project and a very nice surprise. The game is a great roguelike with a lot of jokes and now you can laugh in many languages 🙃
It's available on mobile via #Netflix Games, give it a try!

Thank you, Ubisoft, Netflix, Loki, and everyone involved 💜

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

This is actually a grammatically correct sentence in English. If it baffles you: a semantically equivalent form preserving the original word order is: “Buffalo bison that other Buffalo bison bully also bully Buffalo bison.”

What does Cattitude have to do with this? Read on...

Sometimes people ask me how far I would go to translate games. How far would I be willing to immerse myself in an F1 game I'm translating, for example, out of my own pocket?

This far.

Here’s Yasmin Moslem 🕊, an outstanding AI researcher and machine translation specialist, who once more comes up with a method to improve the quality of machine translations generated by ChatGPT in a simple, beautiful and very elegant way. The feature was implemented in Cattitude 1,5 hours later. No other CAT tool can match that implementation speed.

Cattitude has just released a new feature that is set to make the lives of its users much easier. This new feature allows users to show the most recent entries in their translation memories and then enables them to narrow these entries down per file. This means that users can easily show the 100 most recent entries in file A translated for client B.

"I can read it! I can read it!"

Someday You'll Return: Director's Cut has been translated by us to Japanese, and the first votes are in. As you can see in this livestream, the Japanese users are very happy.

Great translation!
The signs are translated too, thank God!
The translation is very thorough!

While other CAT tool suppliers struggle to keep up with the times, in Cattitude, important developments in translation technology are often implemented within days or even hours. Today is no exception. Cattitude just added a new feature based on the findings of Yasmin Moslem, Rejwanul Haque and Andy Way, who published a paper on Adaptive Machine Translation with Large Language Models.

Last Friday our first gameloc-café (that somehow turned into a gameloc-spritz) took place in Naples!☕️🎮🍸

Thanks to @annacarella and @scorpio for taking this chance, it was amazing to finally meet in person two fellow game translators and share about ourselves and our job!🤩

We’re sure more Neapolitan translators are out there: don’t be shy and let us know so you can join our next gameloc meeting!🥂

If you, as a proofreader, cannot back your opinion with rules on grammar, maybe you shouldn't proofread. Style is subjective. If you don't like what your translator does, keep searching until you find a translator who writes exactly like you do (you won't), or become a translator yourself.

Quality-related discussions can only be based on measurable metrics, and your subjective "feelings" are not one of them.

Smart CAT supports Smartcat

This morning, one of our users asked whether Cattitude also supports Smartcat, another CAT tool that has become quite popular because it’s free.

It turned out Cattitude didn’t support Smartcat yet. Now it does however, and the implementation took less than 10 minutes.

Terminal velocity: terminology look-up faster than ever

It’s quite an honor for Cattitude to be compared to tools like memoQ and SDL Trados Studio, especially if you realize that the latter products are being made by huge companies with access to tons of resources, while Cattitude is basically a one-man show. Yet, the result is a fully-fledged CAT tool that is faster and smarter.

We're now allowed to announce another beautiful collaboration with Words of Magic. We'll be taking care of the Japanese and Chinese translation of Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, sequel to Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, by Mimimi Games from Germany. Suitable for all ages, and obviously very good for your Japanese and Chinese.

When you open a game you've worked on after a while and find out that the new updates and strings are either not translated or, worse, machine-translated, making absolutely no sense at all... 🥲
