Our dear @iangonzaleztr made a really important point.
And if we're honest, it's not just localization: with the layoffs happening everywhere, other fields of development will most likely become victims of this "bare-minimum" policy.
We all have to do better than this.

We've been advocating for #TranslatorsintheCredits for as long as we've existed, but you might be wondering what it means.
Let's do a little back to basics for devs, publishers or anyone interested, as to *why* you should put your translators' names in your credits ๐๐ผ๐งต
Me encantรณ este juego pero DALE...
In Hardspace: Shipbreaker, by @BBIgames and @Focus_entmt, translators are NOT in the credits. However, the credits roll does include a full list of production babies, cats, dogs, horses, fishes and even an Unnamed Rat (R.I.P.).

Hire translators, hire reviewers and hire LQA specialists if you want the absolute best experience for your players which, surprisingly, converts unto more ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
Taking shortcuts by replacing these roles with AI is a sure-fire way to loose revenue.

6/ โฆTo *THE* archaic and lofty weirdo who believes himself to be a chivalric knight in 1600's Spain of course: ๐๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฑ๐จ๐ญ๐!
The parallel worked so great that @iangonzaleztr kept working on Reynauld with the book by his side. He could even throw in a direct quote:
Un hilo sobre cรณmo nos inspiramos en el espaรฑol antiguo del Quijote para emular el Olde English del Cruzado de DD2
Thanks for the spotlight FtV! โจ

Can you guess which renowned literary figure was used to localize the Crusader in @darkestdungeon?
Let's go for a little Spanish Lat-Am translation behind the scenes ๐ช๐ธ ๐งต๐

He plays the drums, speaks a little Italian, spends most of his time on Twitch and "I am @iangonzaleztr and although you do not know me, I'm coming to you for some advice" is how it all started.
Cheers, friend!๐ค

๐ฅ Thanks a lot @FromTvoid for including us and always fighting for the #TranslatorsInTheCredits , thanks to Fire Hose Games for recognizing our work and to Lau and Ian for being incredible professionals!๐#gameloc
No todos los profesionales estรกn acreditados en el Diablo IV: existen agencias de mierda de las que hay que ir alejรกndose de a poco. Son la gran mayorรญa
Congratulations! Sadly, it seems @Altagram_Group chose not to include freelance translators in the credits, but it's great to see that not all agencies are like that! #translatorsinthecredits
Gente estuve en el equipo de localizaciรณn de Diablo IV (espaรฑol latino) y mi querido compaรฑero @guido_bnd me informa del noticiรณn:

Hermosa sorpresa. Por mรกs #TranslatorsInTheCredits. Gracias a RTS y a nuestra PM Nati por mandarme tanto trabajo :)

As a freelancer, I've worked on a couple high-selling titles (e.g. Sonic Frontiers), but it's something else to have a title my ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช๐๐๐ค handled at the top of the Steam charts.
I am so proud, also completely terrified ๐
