(Japanese follows)
We are delighted to announce the first LocJAM workshop to ever happen in the Kansai area. Aspiring and professional game translators are invited to join us in Kyoto on March 19th, 2016.
We will also organize a networking party right after – both events are separate and you can join either or both.
Who should attend
Everybody from complete newcomers to industry experts will have something to learn from the workshop. It will be a rare chance to gain experience, hone your skills and collaborate with fellow translators. The event itself provides is the perfect opportunity to network with your pairs.
We will be offering source materials in BOTH English and Japanese, which means any translator working from one of these two languages will have something to translate.
Workshop Venue
Content of the workshop
The session will open with a presentation of the game localization process, using both games offered in the workshop as examples. The goal is to give you practical advice so that you can get started right away, with a clear working plan.
Translators will be invited to choose between two packages, depending on their source language:
Translators working from English will be offered to translate this year’s game, a board game, a first in the history of LocJAM. As you will find out, game localization processes and tactics also apply perfectly to board games.
Being able to address issues related to the game and its format should help translators get a strong start and work more serenely through the rest of the contest.
Translators working from Japanese will be offered to translate one of last year LocJAM’s winning entries for Grandpa. Narrative by nature, this game is perfect to practice for potential J-E translation contests in the future.
Fees
The workshop is absolutely FREE
Networking dinner: 3,246 yen (tax included, details below)

2-4:30pm:
- Presentation of the LocJAM, analysis of the workshop games through the game localization process, QA session.
