I am a fletchling Video Game Translator/Coder!

Did you mean "fledgling"?

If he chooses to identify as a pokemon, who are we to stop him?

Um excuse me, I identify as Sunkern, thank you very much

As a video game translator, do you have to be careful with typos?

We make sure to fix that before reinserting the script, it'd be a pain to extract it again to fix it. Or fix it, take out the script we inserted and put in the new one.

So yeah, we have to be careful of them.

I think that might have been a reference to your title, which has the same requirement.

Welp, lets add this to r/woooosh

How does this shit get approved?

I do a single typo and everyone's all over me about it, I guess that's the internet for you

When your mistake involves an error that parallels the very subject matter you're posting about, you can't be surprised by this kind of reaction from the internet.

Well, you’re right.

Congratulations on making the front page in 5 minutes with 12 upvotes. What inspired you to become a fledgling coder?

I just really love video games and wanted to create my own

I'm on the front page already, what?

Has your previous translation work opened many doors in the professional field, especially for language?

Not yet sadly, I hope it will in the future though

Where did you learn to spell?

It was a misspelling gotdammit

As a profesional spell cheqker, I find my job dificut. How do you mannage?

I dont no, its vry hahrd

Uhmm... I suppose English isn’t your first language?

English is my first language.........I’m a US boy

I ask because “fletching”. That’s uhh... that’s not correct.

You don’t think I know that by now?

Just fuckin’ with you, bruh.

Sorry, I’ve already received like 140 comments like this

What got you into coding?

I just really love video games and wanted to make my own

What's for dinner?

Tacos

Do you think, as someone inside the community, that Mother 3 will ever be officially localized?

I can always hope, but based on some on some of the themes and topics, I don't know. Smash Ultimate does have a lot of Mother representation and it's Mother's 30th anniversary, so now's the time for it.

What got you started in translating? Also what languages do you mostly program in? I prefer Java, HTML, CSS, and Javascript mostly

Mostly Mother 3 and my love of Japanese. I wondered if there were other games that were as good as Mother 3 that didn't make it over.

I like Java, JS, and a bit of C++

Where are you from that you say fletching video game translator instead of fucking video game translator? I usually only hear Mormons and midwesterners talk like that.

I'm from good ol' Missouri, so you're right

Um...no

Hey! Really appreciate the work people like you do.

How legal is translating games? Do you run into complaints from developers?

How much of a script is reworded after translation to better fit the target culture? (Like with references or idioms)

Thank You!

Fan Translations are in a grey area of the law, so it's not legal but it's legal, sooo

The last question really depends on the game, this game is heavily stereotypical with Japanese stereotypes, so It'll be changed less, but others have to be changed to better fit the style of the game.

Is English your first language?

Yes, it is

“this game is heavily stereotypical with Japanese stereotypes, so It'll be cut less, but others have to be changed to better fit the style of the game.”

Are you sure?

Get off of my back please

Can you stick a compact disc up your ass?

I could, but I’ve got the wrong type of player

Is it a hard process, and if so, do you need to learn the games native language (Japanese for Japan only games) to effectively translate them?

edit: I'm stupid and I admit it

edit 2: downvoting myself

Yes, you have to know Japanese pretty well, that's why I have a friend helping me on this one, also help is needed.

Get the script is a process, but after that its easy until reinserting it I assume
