Hey, I’m Pancake. An avid Roblox player since 2016, and have been lurking the Devforums since 2018. I’m also a native Spanish speaker, and I know (mostly) Portuguese!
Um. Respectfully saying, I always appreciate new lines of work being introduced on ROBLOX. But I have to question the job of a translator? Can’t people just use Google Translate and then just post the translations on for example Devforum and see if anyone can conform its right meaning?
Well, the thing is, Google Translate isn’t always accurate, but honestly it’s mostly just because it’s a pain to translate like 5,000+ words. You wouldn’t want to do that would you?
I wouldn’t, and maybe a well established dev wouldn’t either. But a cheaper, start up dev will try as hard as they can not to cough up robux. It’s most likely you will be hired by more bigger developers. So you may benefit from upping the prices a bit.
As pancake said. Google translate is not 100 Percent accurate. I know a game called Reason 2 Die that was getting support for different languages. Though some people used translate and people had problems making out what some words said cause of this.
Its better to just hire a translator and get accurate translations then use google translate.
My only concern is that there are no examples of your work or word of mouth to back it up. Is it possible for you to include some previous translations or sample translations?
A developer who cares about their playerbase will never use the google translator due to the distorted translation. Google translator is far from perfect.
I think @ebur1n means do you have any past employers that you have worked for/ games you have translated that you could put here? I think he also meant/said that do you have a text (longer than that sentence ) that you could put here, English and _____. Also, as @wastemanty23 said, I think you should add a pic of a certificate if you have one.
Oh ok. You could still do the translating a body of text thing though, and it would improve your portflio. Anyways, good luck on future comissions and have a good day.
Well, no other translator has done the translating a body of text thing, and I don’t think its neccesary, but still, thanks for replying and taking your time out of your day.
Update: If you want me to translate something please reply here (if you’re a member of the developer forum) saying that you sent me a friend request on Discord plus your Discord tag.
