Une belle carrière, de bons souvenirs, jusqu’à ce qu’il devienne un connard comme tous les vieux qui dépassent la date limite.
Perso, ce qui me désole le plus, c’est d’avoir immédiatement réalisé que je n’ose rien en penser avant d’avoir passé les désormais nécessaires deux semaines de péremption pour un éventuel déballage du PAF : « Bernard ? Ah mais il pelotait toutes les stagiaires de troisième qui passaient chez Antenne 2, c’était bien connu, Bernard Pédo même qu’on l’appelait ». Je ferai mon deuil en juin.

Pardon, je voulais dire les Teuton*nes se redressent.
Tout serait peut-être plus simple si l’Humanité employait l’alphabet du grand cachalot.

Ah ! La localisation, c’est jamais facile. Je note qu’il manque la version scantrad qui avait décidé de garder les suffixes honorifiques.

Je serais moins fainéant, je me lancerais dans un projet d’encyclopédie ouverte et en ligne dédiée au Video Game Jargon dont je rêve depuis que j’ai débuté dans l’industrie.
Un peu à l’image du boulot de Terrence Masson sur les CGI, mais en collaboratif.
Tous les corps de métiers du JV / communautés de joueurs ont leur jargon, toutes les boites emploient des concepts à leur sauce et certains pays ont même des termes précis pour décrire des éléments complexes en un mot.
Je rêve parfois d’une base vers laquelle me tourner ou pointer lorsqu’un soucis de vocabulaire raboule.
Je ne compte plus le nombre de quiproquos dont j’ai été témoin sur des gradients de qualité attendus entre personnes venant de studios différents, ou bien de certaines complexités de pipelines sous-estimées par des execs faute de connaissances techniques rudimentaires et d’une bonne compréhension des termes employés.
Pour ma part, ça m’aiderait sans doute à surnager mieux dans la jungle d’acronymes Business/Marketing (ces gens sont fous) et employer les équivalences françaises lorsqu’elles existent. Par raccourci, tout le monde parle en franglais et je me rends compte qu’employer le terme en VF ramène généralement « sur Terre » et permet de poser des bases plus saines de discussions, en démystifiant des concepts autrement bien plus abstraits pour les équipes lorsque qu’évoqués en Anglais.

Beaucoup de cours de marketing 101 qui fera un peu rouler des yeux certains ici (14:38 si vous voulez zapper le passage obligé sur le Job to be Done) mais bonne analyse des mécaniques expliquant le succès de Duolingo.

Tout a commencé avec la question « préférerais-tu avoir le Qatar ou Bernard Arnault comme propriétaire de ton club de football ? » et on a fini par débattre de la validité de l’expression « comme choisir entre la peste ou le choléra » avant d’aller chercher des infos concrètes sur ce choix cornélien (aucun épidémiologiste ne participant à la conversation) ; sachez donc que tout l’internet francophone s’accorde sur le fait qu’il vaut mille fois mieux choisir le choléra plutôt que la peste. Je vous partage l’explication parue dans Le Monde en avril 2022, quand une bonne partie de l’Hexagone partait voter en se bouchant le nez.

On a généralement (et pas forcément à tort) une impression négative en Occident des review bombings chinois sur Steam, qui ne prennent jamais de gants avec les développeurs et se préoccupent un peu trop souvent de troller les jeux dont ils désapprouvent le message politique, mais sachez qu’ils savent faire preuve d’esprit.
Ils sont en train de se plaindre que la traduction chinoise simplifiée de Hollow Knight: Silksong est bien trop pompeuse et fleurie quelque soit le contexte, ambiance Alexander O. Smith sous coke ; du coup, ils ont décidé de raccorder le verbiage de leurs reproches dans leurs reviews (la traduction est automatique mais aussi représentative que possible).
Silk Song Simplified Chinese Translation Team, or someone in particular, have you ever received trust and praise in your life since birth?
If so, I think you’re lying.
If not, that’s perfectly natural.
You corrupt scholar, your mother has ascended to heaven!
You nitpick words and forget the essence, flirting and losing your soul! Your translation is like rotten wood stuffed with manure, as foolish as Zuo Te banging his head against a wall! You’re a warm-hearted player, but you’ve doused me with sour vinegar and rotten soup! Hurry and get back to your sour cage and don’t pollute my empty writing! If you touch your translation pen even half an inch, I’ll nail your foolish skull to the Dirtmouth bench and whip your rotten bones three hundred times with bone nails! Alas! Get out!
I’m now over 140 years old. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu, I once squeezed through the Imperial Examination Hall, clutching my eight-legged essay manuscript.
During the autumn examination in the 31st year of the Guangxu reign, the chief examiner threw my paper on the desk, slammed the table, and scolded me, saying, « your punctuation is chaotic, and your words don’t express any true meaning. » He said my writing wasn’t an essay, but rather « chaotic verbiage, » and that my qualification as a scholar was but a pipe dream.
Later, a new school opened in the city, promising to teach « new learning. » Thinking I’d at least learn a few characters in the process, I applied for a teaching position, specializing in teaching students Chinese characters. Unexpectedly, after only two months, the principal came to me, clutching my blackboard writing. He accused me of using « neither ancient nor modern characters, calling ‹ teacher › ‹ old scholar, › and ‹ textbook › ‹ album leaf, › leaving the children completely confused. » Finally, he sighed, « Your Chinese is incompetent, even for elementary school students. » These words stung my face like a slap, and I packed up and left.
Since then, I’ve always avoided writing, fearing people would laugh at me for « not even being able to explain the words of our ancestors. » Today, I saw a child playing with « The Song of Silk, » and when I leaned over to take a look at the simplified Chinese translation, I was so shocked I slapped my thigh—the translation was exactly like my own back then! At first, I thought it was from an ancient text, then at the next half, it felt like vernacular. It felt neither ancient nor modern, even more awkward than the « half-classical, half-vernacular » language I used to teach students!
Now I’m not embarrassed anymore: it’s not that my Chinese is bad, it’s that there are truly « soulmates » in this world! It’s a shame this wonderful game has been ruined by this kind of translation. If the examiner back then had seen it, he’d probably have labeled this translation « unfair, » thrown it out of the Imperial Examination Hall, and cursed it for « misleading people! »

Part II: je découvre au travers de ce billet de blog que la traduction chinoise de Hollow Knight: Silksong et les tribulations de son auteur fantasque sont carrément une épopée qui tient les fans chinois en haleine depuis plusieurs mois.

S’il n’y avait pas eu cette histoire de trad chinoise, j’aurais pu penser que les différentes trads du jeu avaient été réalisées à le dernière minute (la VF comporte pas mal de coquilles, ce qui n’est malheureusement pas le seul problème du jeu).
