- Devlog 2 | Q&A with Locadile, Amber Isle's Localization Partner - 12 February 2025
Hey folks! 👋🦕 We are back with more paleofolk localization tales from our partners at Locadile. If you missed the first part of this devlog you can find it below: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1663040/view/506192738774942638 Localization Tales - Dev Log 2 Q: How did you handle localizing the various dialects in Amber Isle? "How does one handle accents in the dialog of games that don’t contain voice-overs? Tastefully! Dialects usually pose one of the biggest challenges as they generally don't translate well, and could easily be either not understood at all, or read like a caricature - potentially even as offensive, discriminatory, or racist. In order to avoid any demeaning associations, we aimed to tastefully render the different dialects so that the regional diversity is presented by focusing on incorporating idioms, localisms (local cultural preferences), taglines, and catc…

With that in mind, we would love to give you a little insight into the amazing world of Amber Isle and our wonderful experience localizing this great game." Q: What was the most fun part of Amber Isle to localize? "Slipping into the compelling narratives and the cast of charming characters, with all their different personalities, was by far the most fun part of the localization process. It was a longer process coming up with funny names that both maintained the char…
