Update Status

I'm taking a relaxed break from Legends of Localization at the moment, but I still plan to add more articles and comparisons from time to time.

I'll also slowly be improving and updating various sections of the site. During these times, pages, links, and images will surely break somewhere - I apologize in advance. I've also turned off comments for now until I can reasonably keep up with them again.

In the meantime, check out some of these other articles:

Legends of Localization

You know how the news media (and general audiences) get games, science, and technology stuff wrong all the time? I feel the same way when it comes to entertainment and video game translation, so I decided to use my professional experience to shed light on this mysterious topic.
