Introduction to Game Localization (Udemy.com)

I've just completed this course and I loved it! Perfect for beginners! Pablo is an amazing teacher that uses lots of practical examples to share his knowledge. I learned a lot! The only downside is that the additional material he shared is indeed downloadable but not recognized by my computer, so I couldn't check it out.

Il corso è un po' basilare per chi ha già un background nella traduzione tecnica, ma offre buoni spunti per l'approfondimento e fornisce il punto di vista, molto utile, di chi opera nell'industria videoludica e della localizzazione. Sicuramente è perfetto per principianti assoluti (d'altra parte, è un'introduzione). Pablo è divertente e gli esempi sono divertenti e stimolanti, peccato che il corso non sia stato attualizzato con esempi o spunti più recenti. Suggerimento: sarebbe interessante integrare gli esercizi con le "soluzioni" ufficiali. Certamente difficile da realizzare per ogni combinazione linguistica, ma si poteva almeno coprire il FIGS. Pablo è un grande, comunque.

Ya había hecho un curso anterior de Pablo y me gustó mucho su estilo de enseñanza. Creo que el curso es muy completo para alguien que recién se está integrando o quiere conocer la industria de los videojuegos. Respecto al tecnicismo de las clases, me pareció genial y muy bien explicado. Se nota que el curso está hecho con amor :3

This course is truly an introduction - a little funny, a little goofy, but a solid overview of basic aspects of the game localization process. More technical parts of the course were the most valuable, such as the contents of the localization kit or bug classification. Gladly appreciated were practice cases that you can download and translate in your spare time to get a taste of the process. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, even if not as informative as it could have been.

Really easy to understand and it contains some real-life examples, too. Pablo knows how to be concise and how to vary the content of his course. Always speaking in a not-too-fast and not-so-slow fashion that makes it easier to process all the information you are given. I recommend this course for any wannabe game localizer that has ZERO experience in this field. It's not called "Introduction to Game Localization" for no reason, because it is really an introductory course.

Nice overview of what game localization is about, though there are things concerns me. This course does not mention computer aided translation tools at all, like they are not exist and all translations are performed in Excel. Either because Pablo don't like it or don't know about it, it is still a must for any professional translator/localizator. All in all, I enjoyed it, helped me to refresh some knowledge and see the localization from European market perspective.

I find this course useful for those who want to get acquainted with the different aspects of the video game localization process. The instructor makes the learning experience very enjoyable, and his explanations are followed by practical examples and sound advice. He clearly enjoys teaching, localizing, and gaming, and it shows.

This is the very first time I finish an online course, and I did it all in less than 24 hours! Great flow, content and presentation skills! Good job Pablo! Hope you can make more courses about Localization, not necessarily focused on games. I really value the fact that you showed specific examples (sheets, screenshots, etc) and we were able to see how the actual work is. Thanks a lot! :-)

La verdad es que el curso se me ha hecho muy ameno y he aprendido (y reído) mucho, y el hecho de que los vídeos fueran cortitos ayudaba a que no se hiciera pesado. Pablo explica muy bien y recuerda varias veces que si tenemos alguna duda nos pongamos en contacto con él, lo cual es de agradecer y demuestra que está atento. Gracias a este curso estoy deseando poder ampliar mis conocimientos sobre este tema. Un 10. P.D.- me declaro fan de los caretos de Pablo.

This course not only brings theory to a level of study in which it is possible to absorb it and see it in action but it gives you the opportunity to try it youserlf as well. Pablo presents us the important phases of the localization process in each module which an unique manner in conveying his message. I truly recommend this course to anybody who whishes to learn the basics of how to work with game localization.
