Rewrite to Localize
Rewrite to Localize
Rewrite to Localize was a university event sponsored by the Center for Translation Studies, ArtSciLab of UTD, and the Games and Media Library, open to all students and staff of the Bass School.
The event featured a short talk by Justin Sewell and Rainer Schulte, director of the Translation Center, followed by an interactive activity for participants.Â
Participants were shown the literal translations of lines from games and asked to rewrite them.
This enforces the idea that localization is not just translation but an act of creative writing that expands on the source text and appreciates the culture of the language it's being translated into.
