1. Críticas a la falta de confianza en traductores profesionales.
Diversos usuarios expresan frustración ante la negativa del autor de delegar la traducción a expertos, percibiendo esta actitud como una falta de respeto hacia la profesión de la localización.
- If he can't trust a professional localisation team over his own ego that's his problem.
- It feels pretentious and deeply untrusting of translators as a profession, though. If you trust your players to understand your text, why not trust the localization team with retelling it in their language?
- To not trust hired translators who speak languages that you don't is even worse. And then to say, but it's okay fans are already translating it for free?
- It undermines the skill of translators when you refuse to place trust in them.
2. Defensa de la visión del autor y el perfeccionismo creativo.
Una parte de la comunidad defiende el derecho de Toby Fox a proteger su obra, argumentando que la pérdida de matices y juegos de palabras justifica su reticencia.
- I wouldn't even call it a lack of trust, just being overly concerned about what may be lost in translation due to the lack of oversight.
- His reason is that he doesn't trust other people to write his game exactly how he wants them to that's a perfectly valid reason, it's his art.
- I can understand how it would be difficult for Toby to trust an outside team with localizations in languages he doesn't know.
- Undertale and Deltarune are two of the most personal and carefully constructed games in the history of the medium, so Toby's reticence to just hand them off to a team... Is totally valid.
3. El dilema entre traducciones de fans y versiones oficiales.
Se debate si el trabajo voluntario de los seguidores es más fiel a la esencia del juego que una localización corporativa, y el impacto de esta elección en la accesibilidad.
- Honestly I trust real fans to stay true to the vision more than a professional localization team.
- He acknowledges fan translations, but is not willing to hire professionals to do it.
- Trust fan translators instead. Also, avoid Google Translate as it frequently gives the wrong context leads to confusion.
- I'd better make his game unplayable for a huge part of the world than trust professional translators to adapt his vision.
4. Desconfianza generalizada en la traducción automática y la IA.
El discurso también refleja un rechazo hacia el uso de herramientas tecnológicas para la traducción de contenido creativo, enfatizando la necesidad del factor humano.
- I lose trust in something when there's generative A.I. Involved, like the Frontier Gate translation that used ChatGPT for the last 20% of it.
- You can't trust machine translation in general, and ChatGPT translation is even worse because it randomly adds and skips really important bits of text.
- Don't trust the machines blindly!
5. Impacto en la comunidad hispanohablante y otros idiomas.
La falta de una traducción oficial al español es un punto central de conflicto, generando sentimientos de exclusión entre los jugadores que no dominan el inglés o el japonés.
- Toby Fox the author of Undertale/Deltarune after years never translated the 2 games, today he communicated that he don't do it because he don't speak Spanish so he doesn't trust anybody for the translation.
- It's sad that Latin Americans can't enjoy medias like Deltarune as much as she would like to. Localization being just 1 example.
- I think he needs someone who speaks Spanish or Portuguese that he trusts gets his idea.
