Case Study: Chef Wars Journeys
One of our recent projects involved the English-to-Chinese translation of a mobile game called Chef Wars Journeys. This project required expertise in food and cuisine due to the game’s quizzes and recipes.
Selecting Food and Lifestyle Chinese Translators
- The client, based in the Philippines, provided an Excel sheet with translatable strings extracted from the game.
- Recognizing the culinary focus, we selected three translators who are food enthusiasts to ensure accuracy and authenticity.
- After passing a test evaluation, the translators were assigned work based on their areas of interest.
Managing the Workflow for Mobile Game Translation
- Overcoming Challenges:
- The translators encountered typos and unclear text.
- The client’s assistance in clarifying these issues greatly contributed to the accuracy of the translations.
- Maintaining Consistency:
- The game’s quizzes had a playful and witty tone, which needed to be preserved in Chinese.
- To ensure consistency, a group chat was created, including the translators, an editor, and the project manager.
- Delivering Results:
- The project involved 43,290 words and was completed in just 10 working days, including translation, proofreading, and QA checks.
Positive Client Feedback
The client reported positive feedback from their customer, noting that their Chinese liaison was very satisfied with the translation quality.
