These names were quite difficult to localize in such a way that they were not too difficult to read and still sounded good.Īfter the second stage of localization, we got quite a few notes from Korean gamers that had already tried out Day R Survival in English. The game also has a map which shows over a hundred Russian cities-many of them were new to the linguists, and the names of these cities had not been translated into their languages. Often the translators didn’t know what certain parts were, for example the pioneer camp, sanatorium and so on. The game includes many realities of the Soviet period.
All stages involved contractors with extensive experience in translating RPG games. In the third stage of localizing the project, the game was translated into Brazilian Portuguese. After the translation, the text was refined by one of the linguists. To save time, we brought in two teams of translators to work on it for each language. The timeframe for this stage of the translation was quite strict, so we were forced to edit the English and translate into other languages in parallel. After that, tltGames decided to add Italian, Indonesian and Korean to the game, and to edit the English text. At first our team translated the original Russian text into German and Spanish (it had already been translated into English by the developers). The game localization took place in three stages. The player must survive in conditions of hunger, thirst, heightened radiation levels, danger of injury or illness, and at constant risk of attack from monsters. Team: 8 translators, 8 editors, 1 project manager.ĭay R survival is an online survival game, the events of which unfold in a post-apocalyptic USSR after a nuclear strike. Languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Indonesian, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean.
