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:
