Translation of Shin Megami Tensei V

Early November saw the publication of the Nintendo Switch exclusive Shin Megami Tensei V, and I was part of its translation team. The reviews have been excellent.

“Texts are brilliantly translated into Spanish”. (Vandal)

“A return in grand style with a localisation that rises to the occasion. […] I have a weakness for the dialogues you have with the demons: those are the game’s better written bits. They are caustic, sometimes even hilarious, and the localization is not shy to sprinkle them with the right amount of swearing whenever appropriate.” (IGN)

“The game’s texts, such as dialogues, are excellently localized into Spanish.” (Nintendúo)

“The translation is on par with the quality level of the game.” (GuiltyBit)

… “a really good localization that wonderfully adapts the demons’ charismatic conversations and precisely details items, descriptions and dialogues.” (FantasyMundo)

“It enjoys a splendid Spanish translation”. (GuardadoRápido)

We’re celebrating Chicory: A Colorful Story‘s launch on Mac, PC, PS4 & PS5. I hope you’ll enjoy this adorable game! It’s available to play in English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, German and -of course- Spanish!

Update: The first reviews from the Spanish press are dropping and they don’t fail to mention the localization work!

“Excellent localization.”(Meristation)

“We have no objections to the translation of the texts, which are brilliantly adapted to our way of speaking.” (HobbyConsolas)

“It Couldn’t Happen Here” Spanish subtitles

As a big fan of the British duo Pet Shop Boys, I was disappointed by the lack of official Spanish subtitles to their 1987 film It Couldn’t Happen Here.

Encouraged by the British Film Institute‘s remastered version on DVD and Blu Ray, I decided to create my own and make them available for fans to download.
