Latin American fans and voice actors begin campaign asking for a proper translation for Pokémon games (without offensive regionalisms) [Update in TMs]

[Gustaf]

The end of the road: The Pokémon Company finally responded to our Latin American campaign!!

The Pokémon Company ROMPE EL SILENCIO: SU RESPUESTA a nuestra campaña para los videojuegos en Español Latino – ANMTV

It will not happen for the 9th gen (Scarlet / Violet), but they are studying how and when to localize for Latin America (fingers crossed for generation 10!).

Thank you very much for all the support in our Latin American campaign! 😃😃😃

[Fj0823]

That's really cool, finally

 

[Síriocaz]

Cool they gave a response and hopefully they deliver ASAP. Xenoblade might be one of the last major Nintendo properties (if not the last one) that still don't receive a proper translation in LA Spanish. That probably ain't changing any time soon, though.

 

[Shinichi999]

And... FINALLY!!!

TPCi is looking for Latam Spanish translators to work directly with them in their London office, where the core games are translated!

We'll finally have the main games officially and appropiated translated and localized for the Latin American market!

Gosh... I still can't believe it! When I started this campaign on ANMTV I never thought that this could happen so fast... but it is! It's really happening!

Thanks a lot to everyone for your incredible support! This is a historic day and a triumph not only for ANMTV, but for the entire Latino community! 😃

Expect more news very soon!! 😉

[Porygon]

Let's hope that the 2023 release has LatAm translation

 

[Guaraná]

Maybe in two decades, someone on TPC will find out that there's a small country in Latin America called Brazil, with a small population of 220 million people, that DOESNT speak any form of Spanish and in fact speaks Portuguese. When this happens we'll be only another 20 years of a proper Brazilian Portuguese Pokemon translated game.

Finger crossed.

Yeah, but I don't think they will even call me... I'm sure they will prefer translators who live in London.

I can only wish the best to the new translators... I hope they do a good job, as there is an urgent need to tidy up all the terms in latam spanish (the terminology in latam is a mess nowadays).

That's why I made my own list with ALL the proper terms based on the anime in Latam Spanish. I don't think they will considerate it but I sent it to them anyway!

[FantasticMrSnake]

well yeah, is hard, there are 20 or so countries in America that speaks spanish, so is a bit hard to find a terminology that satisfy them all and don't imply sex or a penis haha.

Good luck anyway, it does say relocation package, so maybe you have a chance.

do they officially sell Nintendo games in Brazil again? i thought Nintendo had basically pulled out.

I mean, there are people who are professional translators whose job is to know these nuances. It's more of a question of whether companies sink in the money/effort to hire someone qualified.

Considering how much of an afterthought localization is it doesn't surprise that these bad translations slip in. They are always looking to cut corners and I have caught translation issues outsourced localization companies who put in the lowest bid. Considering my Spanish is anus, it's pretty bad when I end up correcting people whose job is to do this professionally. I have ran into that jugador izquierda bug before.

Considering how you guys had the games in iberian spanish but the anime seemed to be closer to the english script, it's no wonder that a lot of terms might have ended up as a mix of both. Hope you guys get sorted out. Thankfully there's a lot of extensive fan wiki pages nowadays to get a glimpse of how every little thing was handled so far.

 

[SPRidley]

translations for most of their games for a while now, Pokémon is really their only mayor game that still doesn't have a translation for the region.

Click to shrink...

The problem is not that image, which is what makes our translations (Spain) fun and with personality. If you show me this image i applaud the localization team here, its weird is used as a criticism in this thread. I would have actually killed to have something like that for games like Splatoon, which clearly needs them (the english version ir really playful with it for example). The Spain translation of those games in Spain is pretty subpar, which is weird becuase nintendo usually does great ones (that and the smash narrator being a german trying to speak spanish in all games since brawl, that is trashh also, has been cirticised, but never reverted to an actual spain voice actor).

The big problem is that they dont get a proper translation, and im 100% they should fight for it. Other nintendo games do get preoper latin american translations and even dubs, why doesnt pokemon. I mean a campaign and fight shouldnt even be need, it should be the fucking norm, yet its not.

We fighted to stop getting generic spanish (also known as clearly mexican) translations of animated shows in the 90's, we also fighted wghen Microsoft tried to do the same shit with Halo 2, and fucked up we getting a mass effect dub in the process. And thankfully the halo stuff was reverted.

Campaigns and fighting need to happen by the latin american community, but not at the expense of Spain translations.

"Pito" means "whistle" in LatAm and Spain, but in LatAm (at least Mexico) it is a REALLY common slang for penis. Probably 80% of the time you hear "pito" here it's referring to a penis.

Eh its the EXACT same then, kids use pito as penis all the time here.

Congrats latam. I mean its should be as easy as actually hire latin american localizators for the translation, but i suppose, as scarlet and violet are in Spain, it shouldnt be as jarring? like watching coco here which was kept in mexican spanish? lol
I mean, i personaly think those games should still have been transalted in lat am, and i dont think its too late to do, but oh well.
But ddont let the slide with just a good message, if the next game after that doesnt come properly translated, fight for it again.

Do we know if the usual spanish translator team has been fired? (like by looking at linkedin) I just hope they have both of them, like any company should.

 

[Javier23]

As a Madrid native and resident, it's downring surreal how much, well, Madrilian Spanish the examples above are. I think even non-Madrilian Spaniards would find it jarring, let alone Latin American people. It would be the equivalent of having the US translation be in Cockney.

I'm guessing the translators believed they were doing an exclusively peninsular Spanish translation. Really awful and cheap of Nintendo to skip the American Spanish translation.

As a non-Madrilian Spaniard, wtf is that localization indeed. Jarring is an understatement. To be fair, I have never played a Pokemon game in Spanish, but that would definitely take me out of the game right away.

90% of Steam games are localized, from triple As to indies. But you know, carrying about anything that's not in NA, Europe or Asia is too hard for Nintendo and their close partners. I mean, it's not because an indie dev with 5 people can do it, that a giant multi-billion company can.

Click to shrink...

Te lo choriceo = I'll steal it from you. The complete phrase is "If you have a super (mazo) cool (guapo) and rare Pokémon, I'll just steal it from you and it'll be like nothing has happened here."
The rest of them are just "trendy" words from the past who help imo make the translation better. I am not from Madrid and I tend to dislike how they speak but Pokemon Castilian translations are just hilarious.

Not sure why they used it as a criticism on the above image. Chorizear, flipado, etc.. I mean, the amount of puns and idioms!!!!
"Eres.. duro de pelar" = reference to a a song from 1996! (Rebeca - Duro de pelar)
"Fitipaldi" = Really happy, really fast people /or animals). A reference to Emerson Fitipaldi!
"Mola mazo" = This is something that was used in Madrid for a long time, but both "mola" and "mazo" come originally from the romani people in Spain and their language, el caló. In fact, many of the "idioms" and expressions we see in Pokemon translations as "castilian-like" or "Madrid-like" all come from caló, the language of the spanish romani people. Dabuti, nasti de plasti are other famous terms that also come from there and that are now known as "things that people from madrid said a few decades ago". :)

So many expressions that people use. References to well known spanish shows! It's lovely. Just lovely. Absolutely lovely. Thank you Nintendo.

To each their own; to me it reads dated, tryhard cool that ends up being cringe as fuck. It's the "how's it going fellow kids" in translation form; clearly done by and for 30+ year olds, not the kids that are the main consumers of Pokemon. What's absolutely not acceptable is for this to also be the translation used for Latin America.

What does it mean when someone offers you a "choriceo"? because it sounds bad

Click to shrink...

"Chorizo", besides the cold cut, is old slang for "thief". "Choricear" is, by extension, "steal", but you would be hard pressed to hear it used in real life nowadays, even in Madrid, unless the speaker is both 40+ and terminally self-unaware. You're most likely to hear it in comedies, uttered by "streetwise" characters that are written by highly un-streetwise writers... and even those would probably use "guindar" or "levantar" instead.

While would it sound bad to anyone in Spain?, that is the important factor here. As answered by seroun, it means to steal in a funny way.

This like english using expressions in their games, movies, whatever is released there.
Its incredibly stupid that anyone out of that country criticeses this stuff. The only thing, and the regionalisms shouldnt be criticised, is just needing a latin american spanish version APART from the spain spanish one, full stop.

Having a more generic and less fun translation in arceus, as i read some latin american cheering in the middle of the thread, SHOULD NOT be the way to go.

I hope is this whats happening, but some people here were already cheering here arceus being more generic, instead of there being 2 different langauages to choose.

Im going to give them the benefit of the doubt though, and will tell myself that was done because of being an old world isntead of modern (and even then, they could have played a little there with olde castillian spanish like the witcher books and thronebreaker gwent game do).

How were the diamond and pearl remakes though, those were done basically at the same time, so i suppose it wouod have impacted both localizations if they were going for a more generic thing now.

True, I hadn't thought about the amount of usage of a noun vs the verb. Josear seems to be coming from trap. Honestly I keep thinking some José guy really fucked up and someone made a verb after him but who knows.

Both things would have a lot of backlash since Pokémon is one of the few games that has a localization in Spain to this level in terms of references, puns and the like. Animal Crossing was praised heavily here because of its localization. I'm sure the best thing would be to have 2 localizations but I can imagine they'll want to save up money and go for a neutral spanish (which is just a weird form of mexican spanish).

This is a historic moment indeed. My contribution to this may have been no more than a couple of tweets (although I have been complaining since Gen... 6 I think was the first one with Spanish in America? I don't recall if B&W had them), but you really went all out on this and it paid off. Hopefully we don't have to wait all the way to Gen 10, I get it's too late for S&V now, but maybe we can get the LATAM translation for the enhanced Gen 9 games or the inevitable Gen 5 remakes.

Cheers!
