A good reason to practice a language before traveling. π
Localization
Localization project, Canada, Berks United and FC Blackbird
Busy, busy, busy. I have been working on a localization project that is kicking my butt. I won the project a few months ago as part of a larger project. Then got involved with some other projects and when I came back to this won last week I realized I forgot how big it was. So, I started right away. But, the saying goes. “If it can go wrong it will.” or Murphy’s law… something like that anyway. So, I planned on taking the weekend and banging out a bunch of it. Well, of course I discovered I had a trojan horse on my computer. Perfect! Spent the whole weekend cleaning that up. (I’m not sure it is completely healed actually. Then I discovered that I had to do a bunch of editing on the source file to be able to translate it correctly. Lost more time. So, a week and a half of little sleep and lots of stress. I’m coming down with a cold. What sucks is I’m heading to Canada for a tournament with my outdoor team Berks United early tomorrow. Really don’t need to be sick for a weekend of soccer and drinking. But, I’m a trooper. π
I’m excited about heading to our great white neighbor to the north. I haven’t been there for years. Not since Julian and I used to peruse Kingston. π We’re going to London.. not Kingston but it will be great to be back, eh?
Before that though my O-30 Premier League team FC Blackbird has a play off game. We are in first place for regular play, so we play the last place team called Principal. They’re in last but we seem to have trouble with them for some reason. Hopefully we can break that tonight! I want to bring home the championship t-shirts!
The Impotence of Proofreading…
Need A Localization Expert???
Getting the wrong translation can be embarrassing.
A parking sign in China with what should be “Fee Park”, translated as “Pee Park”. Bet they wish they hired a Localization/Translation expert now…

How’s that go? When it rains it poors…
Wow, It’s a really exciting time right now. I have hardly had time to blog. Shame on me. π I’ve certainly hit the ground running and things are really starting to role. I already have a number of projects in the working.
