This makes it an effective conceptual tool to create a\u0000 localized product that is more inclusive. By using the example of security questions in drop-down menus replicated across North\u0000 American English websites, this paper argues that overlooking ‘culture’ as a site of diverse experiences leads to a harder-to-navigate product for the multicultural user. By juxtaposing the reality of a multicultural context with the monoethnic,\u0000 middle-class, and heteronormative cultural dimensions of security questions, the cloning of questions across websites can be seen\u0000 as satisfying the needs of the dominant power rather than the subordinated peoples – both immigrant and non-heteronormative.\u0000 Operationalizing cultural ergonomics in the translation workflow provides a means to recognize and address this power\u0000 imbalance.","PeriodicalId":176026,"journal":{"name":"Digital Translation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141823294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used Rabadán’s (1991) translemic analysis model to analyze the translation\u0000 while Vázquez Rodríguez’s (2016) taxonomy was applied to evaluate translation errors\u0000 found in the dialogue script. The analysis shows that roughly one in five of the cinematic scenes contains translation errors. In\u0000 addition, we have identified intertextual discrepancies of certain key names in Spanish, which, we argue, could disrupt the game’s\u0000 enjoyability. Without access to the exact situational contexts we can only assume a breakdown in the work process, involving\u0000 translators, dubbing directors, sound engineers, and QA testers. Additionally, our findings suggest the importance of overseeing\u0000 the intertextual dimension across the transmedia franchises for coherent storytelling.","PeriodicalId":176026,"journal":{"name":"Digital Translation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141347208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper discusses the issue of localization practices and game authenticity, addressing how game\u0000 developers and localization professionals debate this issue. To do so, the paper defines localization and authenticity and\u0000 presents a literature review on the theme. After that, we present the results from interviews and fieldwork at game conventions on\u0000 three different themes: culture and authenticity in games, game changes during localization process, and authenticity definitions.\u0000 We conclude that the discussion between authenticity and localization should be based on the localizer’s language so the research\u0000 about this topic can be further investigated.","PeriodicalId":176026,"journal":{"name":"Digital Translation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141376466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars and gamers alike labelled it “abysmal” (Mejías-Climent 2021b, 134) and among\u0000 the worst dubbing in Spanish of all time in the video game history. This article\u0000 provides a descriptive and empirical analysis of the Spanish dubbing of the\u0000 cinematic scenes of the game. We have focused our analysis, firstly, on the\u0000 synchrony of the 50 cinematic scenes following Mejías-Climent’s (2021b) levels of restriction and\u0000 types of dubbing synchronies, and, secondly, on the voice actors’ performance\u0000 (acting, pronunciation and diction) and voice quality (character coherence) for\u0000 the most relevant game characters by applying the methodology for voice quality\u0000 analysis, drawing on Bosseaux (2015,\u0000 2018) and Rodríguez Fernández-Peña (2020). The results show that\u0000 there has been a chain of oversights in the dubbing process, involving dubbing\u0000 directors, voice actors and testers, which likely contributed to the negative\u0000 reviews of the localised version in Spanish.","PeriodicalId":176026,"journal":{"name":"Digital Translation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133960339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It\u0000 analyzes the original English and Arabic versions using the corpus approach. A list of food- and drink-related lexemes was\u0000 extracted from the English original game and these lexemes were traced to their context in the English and Arabic versions using\u0000 the concordance function in Sketch Engine. The concordance analysis focused on the translation strategies adopted to localize\u0000 food- and drink-related lexemes into Arabic and on the success of the translation in the socio-cultural and religious contexts of\u0000 the target culture. The data reveals that foreign food-related terms are mostly domesticated, whereas drink-related terms are\u0000 foreignized.
